Is it just me or are bans and thread locks getting more common?

[alkemyst]

There has not been a changing of the guard, you are just seeing an increase in locks and banning because there has been a decrease in the general IQ level lately; as well as a distinct fall in the maturity level of the people posting here.

We mods are about to have one of our annual "See who gets banned" parties. We sit around drink beer, and thow darts at a projection screen with all the members names on it who seemed to have ticked us off in one way or another.

Now, you gotta ask yourself one question, do you feel lucky....punk, well do ya?!?! Your name could be on that list.

Mod Squad

hehhe I already got banned once for like a year, I don't want it to happen again

I was hoping to see if rules or whatever have changed.

You are right though....there is definitely a dumbing down of replies and posts lately.

Coming from the same kind of deal (I am part of a team that moderates a Network Equipment list) I respect the mods and the time they[you] do take to 'have to' read every PM or forum issue post you get.

I have been more active here with my now broadband connection again (after a 2-3 year wait to move).

I would add your quote to my sig as many have but it would not fit I think

Thank you for making my life complete

P.S. This means war!

What weapons will you use? Daisy Red Rider BB Guns picked up at the local Dollar Store? The only reason you have those is because you had a $.50 coupon that you could use on 2 for Tuesday. Or perhaps the slingshots you got at K Mart when they sold everything for 99% off because they were closing down the store.

Remember, we posses the ultimate nuke button.

Gunnery Sgt. Mod

That one was actually kinda lame.

Not as as the thought of Rossman actually being able to throw down with us.

We think Round 1 will begin this weekend. Depends on if we have enough darts and beer. After a few beers, we tend to loose more darts than ban members.

You think we are going to show you all we have? Just wait until we bring out the really big stuff.

Not really, what you don't realize is that we begin to be a little flexible about what is acceptable and then some immature members like to push it until we have to come crashing down again. And the ones who have pushed us are the ones who usually scream the loudest.
