And no, I would not like to be permanently banned for making an off color remark in OOT.

Spechel EDD · 02-01-2008, 03:21 PM

so you want to be temp-banned then?

I don't think you have a clue what your talking about. Did you just pull that out of your ass, or what?

Ah, now we get to the heart of the matter. You just have a hard-on for authority. Standard.

Obviously I pulled it out of my ass - do you think I've been compiling behind-the-scenes 2+2 statistics for the past few years?

How many people do you think get banned and realize the error of their ways and never get banned again?

Also, it's pretty hard to have bannings serve a purpose when they vary so much between mods, offenders, and forums. It's ridiculous that you can get banned for anything considering the **** that is allowed in BBV4Life on a daily basis.

Pick any given BBV4L thread, and I can assure you that a significant number of the posters have been temp-banned at some point.

They pushed the envelope, got banned, and mellowed out a bit. Now they still post. It happens all the time.

You have no idea what you're talking about, are making no sense whatsoever, and are quite frankly being a real *******.

i dont know who you are even though you post in atf a lot but yeah this is pretty much spot on in what i was going to say but i was just going to say 'youre dumb' to him

istewart · 02-01-2008, 06:08 PM

lol @ being a real *******. You spend too much time in the bitch forums if you think that's the case.

I guess none of you retards are going to listen or care so I'll just leave and say this. If you've been banned once, it's only a matter of time until you get banned again. Nobody pushes the envelope once and "learns" from a week long ban, I don't know how anyone but a ****ing mongoloid Downie could think that.

This argument detracts heavily from your ridiculous concept that the forums should be modded in black and white where either someone gets perma banned or nothing happens to them with no inbetweens.

There are likely hundreds who have picked up a ban and not gotton another, the N!T *tard reign where tonnes of posters got bans and exhiles likely produced a LOT of posters who picked up one ban but never came close again.

But then, like you, i have absolutely no evidence to back up my assertions.

Also, ban for awesomely contructive phrasing like "****ing mongoloid Downie". I also loled that downie isnt a word, but for some reason you felt the need to capitalise it.

I changed my e-mail address on 2+2 to a fake one because I really don't want it to be publicly out there. My profile isn't public obviously. But there are so many mods now that it's practically close enough imo.

so your temp banning is fine b/c you know you won't do it again? got it.

I got two 2 day bans, one for being a five year old, and one because I didn't realize that there was a rule about linking to websites to view tv shows. I haven't been banned since, and I probably won't be.
