Re: Please Unban Josh whoever did it.
As you know I think this is retarded and I think you and Dynasty are both mad with mod powers. However, it is important to be consistent, so I look forward to this.
Also, please go back and delete old threads, I can help you, by giving you titles of threads if you like, and the names of posters to ban. I expect you to adhere to all of these (or at least most).

I\'m amused that the oot thread was locked
Any time a thread starts where the masses overwhlemingly express their displeasure of the too liberal banning of real posters it gets silenced. You guys just insist you're right and will hear nothing to the contrary, huh? Good policy we're cultivating here.

I haven't deleted or locked a thread like that in OOT in months. Edit: I wasn't even aware until just a minute ago that a thread in OOT was started about this.

[/ QUOTE ] Clarkmeister, for example, started a hot chick thread, which always leads to borderline porn. He should be the first to go. This whole issue is silly. If people can't handle 5 days away from the forums, they have some problems. And the value of the forums isn't going to come crashing down because one long-time poster is suspended. I think it should be common sense that if you START a thread to basically flame someone, using derogatory terms, without attempting to discuss anything relating to poker, you should expect a short leash. I realize that Josh and others who have been banned add tremendous value to the forum. But you know what? They're long time posters, meaning they should realize that starting a low/no content thread that clutters things up only turns the forum into what those very same people complain about all of the time - a big heap of flaming posts. It's the long time posters who should be held to a HIGHER standard, because people look up to them, and they should have some pride in keeping a certain level of decorum in the forums. We don't own these forums - Chuck, and Mason, and David do, because it's their brand on the line here. They strive to make this the top discussion forum on the web - above the noise and din of RGP, Pocket Fives, etc. If you don't respect that, then you don't have to post here. I'm not just trying to pick on Josh here either. These are my thoughts for others as well. And I didn't see the post in question, but if the content is as Dynasty says it was, then a couple of days off isn't really that harsh. Remember too that he's applying this policy across the board - you just only hear about the long time posters. Agree or disagree with the moderating styles of Dynasty and [censored], but the fact is they have the highest noise forums (even the Zoo isn't that bad), and I think setting a certain level of posting expectation in those forums isn't a bad thing. You have to admit, OOT has been a lot better now that people are afraid of being banned if they make stupid posts. My 2 cents.

Re: I\'m amused that the oot thread was locked
The thread that Dave made in OOT about Josh being banned. It's on my page 3 now. If it wasn't one of you that locked the thread I apologize and withdraw my comment, but it's locked as I'm looking at it.

[/ QUOTE ] If you have a problem with an OOT thread you should press the notify moderator button like everyone else. I'll go ahead and decide on my own who I ban and when. Please consult my original thread as to how I decide. I was pretty clear that I ban at my discretion and will not be requiring your assistance at this time. Also I can't even believe you are lumping me and Dynasty together. I ban way more people than him, I don't really strive to be fair and I much more unreasonable.
