Nothing now. I've only had 1 ever in 11+ years and that was for publicly calling out a mod who stepped out of line. Unfortunately that was back when mods were anonymous so I will never know who the mod was. Gave me 2 weeks but I penned a groveling apology, humiliating myself and probably providing fodder for lame ass mod gets over on member jokes in the mods lounge and got it reduced to a week. Stopped posting after that for a couple of years. Wasn't very enjoyable once I realized there were 2 sets of rules here.

Wow, you stopped posting for 2 years over that? I got curious and went back to see exactly what happened and why. My conclusion is that you are in denial about your inappropriate mod call-out post and that you are FAR too sensitive for this cruel and uncaring world.

First Crimson complains inappropriately about a poster and a mod responsds, but without any sanction.

Btw, Riprorin was a right wing pestilence who ran rampant spamming P&N with pointless and obscure thread after thread after thread precisely because we did NOT have any posting frequency limitation in P&N.

Sometimes 15 of the first 20 P&N threads were Riprorin spam threads, copy/pastes of the obscure, years outdated blog posts with no commentary.

And you ALL know Riprorin, you just don't know you do. He came back to OT as PhineasJWhopee.

Here's the posts in question.. I guess everyone can decide for themselves. <shrug>

Why would you take a statement I made and make a public attack against Riprorin? The statement was mine and mine alone.. Riprorin hasn't even made a post in this thread.. 😕

Do you really think we are going to allow you to twist our words and then play dumb with us? We are not.

They you come barging in, NesuD, not making use of Forum Issues but dancing up and down, running your mouth off and calling the mods trolls right in that thread.

It was a mod call-out. You got a week off for that.

And yet you fail to see why and stopped posting for TWO YEARS because of it? 😱

I agree I can't believe the moderator injected himself and his opinions into a thread with no cause or justification. It was nothing more than a pointedly witty remark that in no way violates the rules that i can see. I think the Moderator was way out of line to even comment let alone make a disparaging comment aimed at someone who hasn't even posted in the thread. Moderator! If you wish to troll then do it under your real login. Trolling anonymously behind the moderators mask is innapropriate.

This is entirely inappropriate and has earned you a vacation.

Oh, wait. Anyone can do a search on your posts and see you just lied to us about having stopped posting for two years. You didn't stop posting AT ALL, not even a little bit, and not even in P&N.

Busted! :biggrin:

I think the mod lounge should be made public. It would be like having a camera in the teachers lounge at school. Liberals always yell and scream about transparency in government, therefore I think it only appropriate for there to be transparency in the governing of this forum since its membership is primarily liberal. We can't have any backroom dealings going on here anymore. Open the gates. Everyone knows this.

I think you should be banned, but personal opinion doesn't get very far unfortunately.
 
I have 1 infraction for what I think was a trivial comment. I think everyone who posted in that thread likely got an infraction.
 
5 now, 4 of which are permanent. I still take much more pride in my three one-week vacations.

EDIT: Well, 2 infractions, a permanent 4-pointer and a temporary 1-pointer.
 
i like this non-anonymous moderator thing, this way we can see who's abusing their powers and acting on their personal opinion, something i've seen happen way too often back in the days.

and by 'back in the days', i dont mean this account's join date. more like mid 2003

i'd love to see my rap sheet though. i think i only have ever gotten 1 infraction? gotta start working on that.
 
Zip. Never been good at argueing without putting in a few "fu*k you"s in there, and that probably won't go over well, so why bother. I'll just walk away and go key your car...
 
Im not sure, about 4? All of them from pointing out obvious fanboys over at the video card forum :awe:

Dont regret them, I hate coming here to read some nice discussions and having the same retards derailing every thread

Depends on how many years you're talking. Didn't they let Rollo back?

No infractions tab but the quote in my sig came with a stern warning about generalizing people on welfare.

:hmm:

Was there a racial element to the generalization? "People on welfare are a bunch of useless bums" doesn't sound infraction/vacation-worthy to me.

It has been 8-9 years so I don't remember but I know the thread was headed that direction. I posted, thought about what I said and edited it in under a minute. The mod was just waiting and was nice enough to cut me a break.

And lol about Rollo. That whole group of fanboys ruined the video card forum for years.

One vote for NesuD, does that earn me an infraction?
