View Full Version : Why was I banned?

WTF is with this place? You can no longer speak your mind here? Which one of the 30 mods banned me. The least the coward could do was message me with why and who decided.

Enjoy your power.

coming back after being banned is ground for permanent banning, IIRC.

gabby,

Of your 1600 posts, how many do you think were poker strategy related?

I wasn't the one who banned you, but us mods can now leave notes about why someone was banned for other mods to see. You were banned for bypassing the language filter, and for being a "class A douchebag."

There are going to be a lot fewer people around here soon if that's the standard. Possibly myself included. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Wasn't me either, but overdue IMO.

The douchebag sentiment was just lumped on top of the primary offense, bypassing the filter, for other mods to get a chuckle at if they investigate. And, actually, it appears that the violation was on a word that was allowed by the filter rather than bypassing it deliberately. I believe OP's account has been unbanned. I think I'll drop Mat a note about the word, though.

haha, no, the funny part of it was that gabyyyy circumvented the censor to write fuckers without the s, while you can write fuckers with the s, with a modicum of creativity in your sentence construction. still though, mat should probably get on fixing fuckers.

I wonder how many people out there are looking at that and thinking -- exactly how many different classes are there?

I know I am.

You know those secret notes I mentioned that are only visible to moderators? Well, we've had some discussion going on in the secret mod forum (again, only visible to mods). It's been decided that we need to classify all posters according to their level of douche-ness. Each mod has been charged with going through their forum and classifying their constituency on a scale of A-F. This makes it easier for the mods in other forums to identify the grade A "douchebag" posters and shun them, and to welcome the grade F "not really a douche" posters. There has been some discussion about how long a poster is allowed to sit at grade A status before being banned, but at this point that mechanism hasn't been implemented in the software. The Zoo's own Mike Haven was appointed by Mat to be the Head Doucheologist, much to the chagrin of Commodus. All disputes over a particular poster's grade (for posters with multiple forums they frequent) are settled by him.

I think I would be more offended by being called a "class B douchebag" than by being called a "class A douchebag". If I'm gonna be a douchebag, I want to be the best douchebag I can be.

Don't worry, CORed. There was no argument over your grading.

Gabby, don't feel bad, Capo was previously banned too.

So basically it goes something like this:

Class A Douche: Matusow
:
:
:
:
Class F Douche (not really a douche at all): Barry Greenstein

Have I got the gist of this right?

Considering the sheer volume of posts and number of posters, how can this possibly be practical?

Some, like yourself, go straight to the top of the list for grading, based on the content of their posts.

Others, like Barry Greenstein, will be dealt with when we get down to grading F's.

Thats not very nice.. And you think mods should be calling other posters "douchebags" ?

I think that the Mods have shown very poor taste and a lack of professionalism in the manner they have posted here. The Mods should always maintain a level of decorum that demands the respect of the other posters. When their posts become as child'ish as they have here, respect is the last thing I would bestow upon any of them.

Don't torture yourself, dear. Leave it to a professional like me. &lt;wicked grin&gt;

Are the douchebags in here all taken or are they for general use? I could stand to "freshen up" a bit this evening. /images/graemlins/wink.gif
