I would like to be able to see the post(s) that got him permabanned.

Is that kosher?

Free mets ban rapini
02-24-2015 , 03:34 PM
He managed to make 2 million posts on 2p2. Unless he's changed recently, if he were really such a problem he needs to be perma'd, that would have happened at some point within his first 70,000 posts or so. If Rapini doesn't like him, then exile him from B&M.

Is rapini pronounced rap-eenie or rapey-knee?

warning: rant

I think partly what bugs me is this idea that somehow mets' existence has to be justified. There's an assload of posters on 2+2 who are totally useless. It's a forum. Mets has been around for ever, he's sort of part of the furniture. I've been insanely frustrated with him at times in the past, so I get how he can be a pain to mod, but he's also contributed a lot and is a fun and good guy. I would miss him.

On the other hand, as far as I can tell rapini is a self-important prick who has no idea how to actually mod in a sane way without making everything about his own delusions of grandeur. So much so they had to make a new forum just to allow people not to have to put up with his bull****. The ban is ridiculous to begin with

Rapini being a self-important prick seems like a really good description from the tiny bit I have seen.

How is this even up for debate? Mets is a 2p2 icon. His contributions in POG are without question a positive for this forum. The obvious solution, as has been said, is an exile from B&M, coupled with a short time off for being an idiot and going back in there.

I have no idea what possessed him to return to where he obviously isn't welcome, but is being a moron really worthy of a permanent ban? If we perma everyone who's a moron this place is going to get pretty damn lonely for you few who are left!

This seems to be 100% accurate.

He has more posts than you.

And you should rename forum to prick and mortar.

Free Mets.

I like him, I think he is a net positive to the site.

I do believe that the site should have rules and rules that are enforced. So, despite my affection for him, some sort of exile, restriction on where he posts or a type of contract should exist: to attempt to encourage him to avoid breaking the rules in future.




I trust in the red mods to come to a reasoned and reasonable resolution.

( I have not read what he said or did.)

if there are no sklansky noodz involved (my first thought), sources tell me it's more work to get rid of a mod + replace him/vet that new mod than it is to just ignore dozens of ATF threads and years' worth of incompetent, me-first modding.

such is life, Mr. Beale. as you well know, being 92 years old and all.

You cant just permaban the poster with the most posts in 2p2 history over weak ass bull**** like this.

Although Mets isn't perfect, this forum needs more people like Mets and not less. He built community and relationships. He made 2+2 something more than an internet forum. He made it into a group of friends.

Have you ever seen the list of 2+2er's that Mets has met in real life? It's a pretty lengthy list.

2+2 is NOT a better place with Mets not a part of it.
