LoneKiller's Scrapbook

It could be a nail in the coffin for him.

I've only seen a mod do this on a gaming forum I was on years ago. I haven't seen this conduct since. It would seem be a rare occurrence to me.

The thing is, and this is what people don't seem to understand as a regular member on a forum, mods do what they feel is right. Some boards are more strict than others. If they decide to go back and ban someone after giving them another chance, they'll do that. What repercussions the mods then have after that decision depends on them and admins over them. It doesn't rely on regular members trying to push what they believe is right. There's nothing wrong with voicing your thoughts and opinions; In fact many forums welcome it. It's only when you step over the boundary of thinking that they should do what you say because you think it's a better choice.

Well put.

what regular members dont see.. is what goes on behind the scenes.
a mod may make a quick decision and deal with a member on the spot.. and an admin comes around later and takes action.
it could be that there had been other incidents in other sections that particular mod wasnt aware of.. and after consoltation with other staff they deside stronger measures were in order.
theres all kinds of scenarios that could explain it.
besides.. forums are generally private websites run by the rules that the current appointed staff put in place. there is no universal set of rules or laws to dictate there conduct. they can do as they please.
just as members are free to leave if they dont like it and go find a community they agree with.

 

[EveWasFramed]

I dont think any of the mods here have ever done that, but it sort of falls in line with this example:
One mod bans a user for X number of days and posts it in the mod forum. The next day, when the other mods have gotten on and reviewed the ban, they may have other information to add or even may have had additional complaints on the user via PM.
There HAVE been cases where, after discussing the nature of the offense, we've decided to either make the ban longer or make it perm.
So, while I dont know that there would ever be a time when a user would be banned after a "warning" was issued, I guess there might come a time when it could happen.

I've been wrongly banned from a forum by an Admin before. It was without warning after being the single biggest contributor to the forum for a few years. I had a minor fall out with a brand new member and I was the one blamed. After that, a number of members of the site got pissed. So the Admin said I could come back with a new account. So I signed up. Got a few details from friends and have never been back since. I have since checked to see if the forum is still active. It is. But I notice that my ancient posts still exist on my banned account. It seems like the new people don't start topics much.

 

[Walley]

on other forums where i have been on staff, only admins had the power to access the functions to ban members. mods merely had control over threads and posts but not accounts. it would depend in the axx levels they have setup.

I'm going to guess that it was some type of favoritism. A new account shouldn't be required to reverse a ban.

 

[Walley]

heh.. i had it happen to me a long time ago.
i was becoming active on a forum for a few months when an ex-friend i was having a spat with registered.. then pmed an admin the next day and asked for her account to be deleted. when they asked why.. she told them because she didnt want to be on the site with me.... so they banned me!
even tho she never went back to site anyways lol.

 

[Sci-Fi]

I've seen this happen before, and usually it has something to do with what goes on behind the scenes. It could be that the member sent the mod who warned them a nasty PM or something, or like was mentioned there was other information that mod didn't know about that caused another to ban the member. If it's up to the administrator to do the banning it could be the member has a history that the moderator didn't know about. Whenever I see threads like that pop up in defence of a person or asking questions I always wonder, what is the whole story, what don't we know. Because unless you know what goes on behind the scenes you only get a small portion of the whole story. If you are really curious you can usually take the time and go back through someones posts and usually find reason behind it.

Thanks LK, haven't worked on my SAD for a while. Maybe one of these sites will inspire me again.

 

[LoneKiller]

Anytime.

This video isn't new. It's been around a while now.
It's not gory or disgusting, so it's safe to post. I'm just wondering what you think about the conduct of the beaten man and the actions the police took. I hate cops who go overboard and get away with it.

It's happening more and more often these days, and it angers me. Of course the guy did brutally kill a cop. The police have no pity for someone who kills one of their fellow cops. If you were a judge, how would you deal with this?

Had it coming.

 

[LonelyInAtl]

Why even bother with a trial? He's on video shooting the detective in cold blood. The same fate should befall him.

Sometime I think a judicial system like in Judge Dredd would be good, to an extent.

And the ******* didn't get the death penalty? What a travesty!

 

[Parabolani]

It's hard to feel sorry for him.

Did he get injuries from jumping from the 3 story building? That bit wasn't really clear.

Not sure if he did or not.
