the whole 'auto-ban' thing is completely gay, given the complete and total inconsistencies of the 'bible belt groupies' that run this place.

one mod lets nick call people "fags" while banning me for 2 weeks for saying "idiot".

but wait, theres more.... while "fags" was approved by one mod PRIOR TO IT BEING MADE PUBLIC, another mod came along and laid the banhammer on nick.

darin shouldve never approved it if it was bad. in fact, darin is the one that actually published it, so HE should get an infraction.

but, darin is never wrong, so that wont happen.

:rolleyes:

...but the drama is entertaining!

I agree with that 100%.


or, at the very least...it should have kicked back a message to nick with the option:

1. Publish and receive the infraction


2. Edit a "disapproved" post and not receive an infraction

The beauty of the auto ban is we do not make the decision to ban you. Your infractions do that for us. All we do is give the infraction when we feel it is justified. We are human. Not all of us are going to look at everything the same way. Look at it this way, if everybody would go back and read the site rules (which have changed from time to time - like adding "No Treats will be tolerated" but the general intent has always been the same, no insults, flaming etc etc) and start following them then we would never have to give an infraction again, Charlie would never get banned. We would never be accused of favoritism again. YZ250whateverhisscreenname is would not be banned........... This site would be very peaceful like it was the first few months of it.

Oh, as far as Darin's decision to approve the post. Well, Nick made the post, he has made hundreds just like it in regular threads. He even posted that he ment exactly what he said. The fact that it was in a Feedback thread that is moderated really does not matter. That is a tool we decided to use to keep alot of the bull crap out, meaning members that do not have a dog in that hunt. Guess what, That thread was about Nick, he had a huge dog in that hunt. 9 times out of 10 we are going to approve post by either parties. You are still responsible for your actions. Had Darin not approved that post and not given an infraction then that would be considered favoritism towards the member that the feedback was being directed at.

as Paul Harvey always said "Good Day"

So with that, I say" have a Coke and a Smile and open a huge can of Shut the Puck up!!!!!!!!!!!"


Charlie, that is a joke just for you buddy.........

it was approved. not moderated... APPROVED BY THE SITE OWNER.... therefore it shouldve been allowed.

or, if it wasnt allowed, darin shouldnt have approved it.

you can use words like "moderate" and "autoban" all you want. the fact is, the "enforcement" of the rules on this site is arbitrary and random.

if the approval of posts in the negative forum are only for those with a dog in the hunt, why are nicks buddies posts approved in there? where are their dogs in this hunt? not that i have a problem with them posting in it, but again... very arbitrary.

get it together, people.

No, you won't. I don't put up with that crap and you know it.

What kind of positive suggestions do you have? How should we have handled it?

If we didn't approve Nick's post, then we're accused of protecting him and playing favorites. If we do approve it and don't give an infraction, then we're accused of playing favorites by letting him say whatever he wants while others get infractions. If we approve it and give an infraction, look what happens.

It's a no-win situation, and then we have people like you that have no pony in the show bitching left/right about it when no matter which approach we took you would be bitching.
