This happens pretty much constantly all over the place on your site.
If you care so much about this type of thing then there are many more things for you to crack down on beyond just the Brandi situation.
Like this:

Would u hit Annette Obrestad?

"You have been banned for the following reason:
Known Brandi Hawbaker Associate

Date the ban will be lifted: Never"

You clearly misunderstood. I never said Micon isn't credible. I'm saying Micon's source in this instance wasn't credible.

To put it plainly, if the source is Brandi (which it was), its probably safe to say she wants you to print something >50% inaccurate. And given the subject matter, what a terrible mistake to make on Micon's part.

But I do love the personal attack at my expense because you can't read. Nice.

omg, that thread was BS. Annette one of the nicest persons from everything I've seen, read about her, or chatted with her at a table online, (yes, she is nice enough to talk to even smucks like me).

Seems to me, the mods missed quite a few bannings from that thread alone. Have no opinion on the bannies from this thread. Perhaps a national ban all posters day would be nice. Lets do it on April 14th, so I can get my taxe's done on time.

newhizzle is the man. I once saw him on tv.

dan druff was pretty annoying. just the name dan druff is grounds for a banning imo. I was geting round to putting him on ignore this just saves me the effort. thanks

easy delete on that thread. all of us depend on notifications. if the notification is being ignored, send me a pm.

Not just that Annette thread in BBV though that was clearly pretty mean-spirited. But also some of the posts in the NVG thread about her recent tournament win. Just a few that caught my eye. Maybe they were never reported to mods and they just weren't paying attention to the thread and that's understandable.
Or they just didn't think such a tone was inappropriate considering that pretty much the exact same stuff happened 100x over in the thread about her in BBV.

"Annette_15 won Sunday Hundred Grand 20K entrants"

- thread title should be: uglyfutgirl has tough RL and therefore runs like god online

- I love her game and thinks she's a great Tournament player but i wouldn't touch her with Sklansky's dick

- I always wondered if she was quiet, a moaner, or a screamer.

Mat - So the mods of that forum were actually unaware of that thread or what was going on in it?
Seems strange to me but I just assumed that a thread that big would have been read by 1 or 2 of the mods and therefore the fact that it continued like that was an approval in a way that it somehow wasn't over the line or going to be deleted.

But we do not tolerate insults, and those whose purpose is to demean and attack others reputations for no other reason than that appears to be something they like to do are not welcome here. And this will be the case whether they do it here or someplace else.

And I want to make this very clear. We at Two Plus Two will not support people who may abide by our rules here (when they are posting) but are otherwise despicable in other places on the Internet. We will not allow them to appear to be members in good standing of our community when at the same time they are involved in other practices that violate all our standards of decency towards our fellow persons, and they will not be allowed to promote these other locations in any way on www.twoplustwo.com.

That has been my policy for over twenty years and it is one of the important reasons why we have been very successful. It is also the reason why we are able to operate totally independently of everyone else in our industry and why we are indebted to no one and can't be compromised in any way. And it will stay our policy for as long as I'm the owner of this company.

What a bunch of BS Mason. I will ignore your many inconsistencies in this story andd focus on the main, most ridicuus statement.........your entire last paragraph. It makes no sense, doesnt address anything real, and is kinda Al Gorish. 20 years ago, I was pplaying Viper on my Apple IIc, not posting on internet forums.

Banning ppl for stuff they do outside of 2+2 is nazi-stlye. Dont try to come off like a bunch of angels, when you guys are harboring a known pedophile. So with that logic, your entire site should be shut down.

If to Catch a Predator was still on, the David Sklansky story would make the perfect episode

That thread was locked (but not deleted) so I assume a mod saw it.

That is really mild compared to the sexual comments about women players who are also posters here. Gossip is fine, but some of the locker room stuff is over the top.

Even with Brandi's reputation, I don't think some of the stuff Sklansky was posting lately should be allowed.
03-06-2008 , 12:36 AM
Nobody cares about that radio link stop posting it.

In that case then it obviously had some amount of approval from the mods or, in the very least, they determined it wasn't delete-worthy.
FWIW - I wasn't too bothered by that thread because it just seemed to go with the flow of a lot of the other stuff that 2+2 seemed to obviously be tolerant of...and perhaps even welcomed or approved of for the increased traffic/attention.

But it certainly wasn't at all a case of the posts needing to be reported so that the mods could be made aware of them as Mat was claiming.

Although I believe that a post that is 'reported' notifies both the mods of that forum as well as to the admins. So Mat can still claim the argument that HE would have done something about it that his mods chose not to do had he been made aware of the thread.

But to imply that the thread pretty much only continued because they jsut didn't know what was happening there obviously can't be correct if a mod saw enough of the thread to determine it lock-worthy.

That is very commendable.

Perhaps an apology to Annette might be in order, as well.

So people say he has goats running around naked in his home, and Sklansky feels the need to start a thread saying it ain't so. How insecure does one need to be to do that? I just say "Screw off. I like goats."
03-06-2008 , 12:47 AM
Druff is straight. I agree unban him
03-06-2008 , 12:55 AM
Bragging about 110 guests is funny. I could do a podcast of me taking a dump and find more then 110 people to listen to it.

I agree it's commendable and am somewhat happy that 2+2 appears to be making strides towards something that resembles a higher road and getting out of the gutter a bit even if they may be doing some things along the way that I disagree with such as banning druff.
