am i supposed to be able to see mod forums?

LOL! Hey, I resemble that remark! Um...er...:sneaky:

I just went through my periodic reinvestigation and the men in the black choppers didn't say anything about my sexual preferences or my food fetishes. I haven't sold any state secrets or said anything bad about our awesome president (lately) so if I'm good with them...

ps
The rugby team is a WOMEN'S college rugby team...and most of them are over 18. I think.

Technically correct, but it was a men's team before the surgeries.

You and your transsexual rugby fetish...sheesh.

Wow, the goings on in this thread makes me sad.

This.

This is all absurd and childish. I have to think if this shit continues this forum is nearing the end of its life.

Go do your real job. Go for a drive. Fuck your wife. Whatever it is that makes you guys happy, because you all are going to have an aneurysm over something that means precisely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Was there a moderator discussion and consensus on Red's vacation/banning? Per earlier posts those are the rules for handing out discipline. Seems like it happened awful fast for there to have been any sort of gathering of the mods to discuss it before it was handed down.

MichaelD and Fausto.

I just wept a tear for the old days.

Somebody find TexMaster and I'll argue with him for 20 pages. Just for old times sake.

I bet he removed his avatar and initiated a vow of silence... that sneaky bastard. D:

you can't post messages to his profile...so I'm thinking vacationed.

I thought that any mod could vacation for a week or two lengthier punishment was up to higher ups and perma-bans were discussions. Since he wasn't permaed (I dont think) then Perk should be allowed to use his own discretion to vacation him. AFAIK that was how it was laid out. Could be wrong.

is this thread stickied? i don't see the sticky next to it but it is at the top of the forum everytime i come here.

 

[SuperSix]

Red is banned.

Personally, I am really amazed this thread lasted past the first or second post. I wonder why it hasn't been shut down?

 

[Fingolfin269]

I'd like to chime in on the side of 'this has gotten out of control'. Lock the thread and move on while hopefully hitting the ban/vacation reset button along the way.

Whats the body count at now?

I haven't hit F5 like this since Value America was around.

 

[guyver01]

they're probably hoping a few more 'troublemakers' will fall on their sword and get banned

 

[zokudu]

lol nice 2k post.

Woah thank you. I didn't even realize I hit 2000.

 

[qliveur]

Can we kill this thread yet? It isn't going anywhere all it is really doing is drawing out the people who either have something against the forum or disagree with how it is run.

DINGDINGDINGDINGDING!

We have a winner! :sneaky:

 

[zinfamous]

odd. A member that pretty much pissed everyone off most of the time; most members couldn't figure out why he was never perma-banned before....and yet his ultimate ban has precipitated this kind of fury.

:hmm:

 

[Evadman]

This thread makes me disappointed. :'(

Why do you set every post to bold?

I only feel like responding to this, because I have nothing better to do. One of the outlines that mods & admins try to follow is to bold their text when speaking as mods & admins. It's a hold over from simpler times when almost kn one knew who the mods were, and the member & mod were separate accounts. Now, mods are not allowed to use the AnandTech Moderator account, so there is no way to create a reply post to a thread without a mod using their personal account. When a personal account is also a mod account, it can be difficult to tell when a mod is posting as a mod, and when a mod is posting as a member, hence the bold.

Whats the body count at now?

In the neighborhood of 8... dropping like flies I tell ya.

I too am surprised it's not been locked yet... They kept it open for a reason:

[alkemyst]

As esquared would say, you clearly have issues with reading comprehension.

I think it was pretty clear. One side was mod replying as a mod...the other a TFNNer crying.

 

[polarmystery]

I'm completely lost...

Well, it's about 3 hours of reading. Better get started.
