Sporting Events FAQ, Liveblog, and BANGERS - Page 322 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

All,

A chapter has evidently come to an end tonight as RJ (P.I.T.T.M.) is being permabanned. Let's all remember the good times time posts that RJ contributed to the Sporting Events forum headphones threads. Grief counselors are standing by at 1-976-6969-WGAF.

Was a SE ban not possible?

Only other time I saw his posts were in the golf forum and they were fine.

Rj imploding and asking to perma banned is the perfect end to this story. In fact, I would have been disappointed with any other, more rational, ending.

I rarely ever ran into him, but I only got a small taste of his reactionary posting occasionally...like in the Chara thread when he talked about his serious injury when he was still playing hockey and BC told him he "probably deserved it," which I thought was pretty funny hilarious and that seemed like super standard banter we have with the NHL regs. He didn't seem to appreciate it and kinda went off.

Was that an accurate depiction of him? Kinda just taking all kinds of stuff too seriously? Unfortunate to see someone in 5 figure posts terrirtory get the permaban.

Not really familiar with his work outside of the soccer threads but he would spaz out all the time over the smallest thing and didn't have the ability to drop it, had big time martyr syndrome about taking bans, would write 1000 words about how people would troll him but then he'd go back to trolling people for no reason and then get butthurt when they would troll him back.

We have gone through this over and over again and if the moderators just want to mess with me there is really no point in me continuing to stay around. There was a point where posting here was fun and educational and I have made tons of friends and received tons of thanks for my contributions, but now it is pretty clear that I can't continue to post with the way I am treated.

As Eric Cantona once said, "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea". It is clear that many users simply post after me to get a reaction. I admit I have been guilty of giving them the satisfaction at times, but I have to say that the fact that this has been not only allowed, but encouraged is an utter failure on the part of twoplustwo moderation. People like tuq, sethypooh and 72o realized that they get some sort of enjoyment out of mistreating me and continued to do so until I no longer enjoyed being a part of this community.

I don't hold any grudges against anyone, but I think the above three are not only quite poor at their jobs, but they are also pretty poor excuses for human beings, and I am sure they will only continue to attempt to run this forum into the ground. I really hope someone at twoplustwo fixes things a little bit, because it was once a really great place. Unfortunately, a certain few have made sure that is no longer the case. Thanks to anyone who gave great advice or was something other than the trash that this forum now seems to encourage. Best of luck everyone.

I asked killa to do this 2 weeks ago and he promised me things would change. This was probably the 100th time this was promised. Not interested in hearing any more empty promises.

we are currently accepting applications for the positions currently held by tuq, sethy, and myself. cheers!

It makes complete sense that the terrible mod responsible for dids being green again has been pandering to Rj for years. No wonder oot is terrible.

Not sure if serious...

Regardless, I'll bite. I just assumed it was banter. Easy to laugh when you're under the assumption that BC didn't really think he deserved injury, which I thought was implicit but w/e.

New rule proposal: When someone creates a gimmick with potential but does a horrible job of posting with it, the gimmick should be taken away and given to someone who's funny.
