The truth about the "book-burning" mod tactics.
Number of posters that have been banned since the reboot: 1
Number of posters that have been suspended since the reboot: 0
The only person that was banned was memo_for_president, and that was because he kept posting trap threads (i.e. thread titled "Williams arrested" with a link to a story about another person named Williams) in the Jazz forum when he was repeatedly told not to.
The other instances of banning usernames have been under the duplicate accounts rule, so those posters are still active on the forum. In sum, exactly one person has had their ability to post disrupted in any real way.
True story: there have been more posts by a factor of 5 complaining about moderation actions taken by a single poster (hopper) than total moderation actions taken.

Naw, FALSE story, as usual, eh, Kicky? I challenge you to prove that, because it can't be true. Hint: My (many) attempts to straighten out your continuing misleading and false representations are "complaining about moderation actions taken" only in the sense that you are a moderator and you took the objectionable action. If you make a false claim about law, or whatever, and I try to correct it, you're no doubt counting that as complaining about "moderation" actions.
Count this one too. It's just one more false statement I took the time to correct ["complain about," in your (false) characterizion].

I call B.S. (whoa, maybe I'll get another infraction for using such strong language).
What about Jesus Christ (the poster, not the religious leader/prophet/savior). Wasn't he/she (the poster) banned?
And as for the "trap threads"...are you kidding me? You banned someone for that? Do the mods have absolutely ZERO sense of humor. SO a poster gets banned for "trap threads" and no one is warned for the ridiculous "Better Than Gaines" threads that kept going and going, often with references to ridiculous players and non-players? Better round up anyone that has posted anything even REMOTELY funny over the past month, when there has been little Jazz news.
And I guess I also need to submit my humble apology for posting the video of Jaleel White playing PG in Family Matters. It was a "trap thread." If you want my Head on a Schtick, then so be it. Oops, there's another attempt at humor guaranteed to sail right over your tiny brains encased in those ego-inflated noggins.
Free to come back under a different username and was told as much. Memo_for_president is the only poster that is presently not invited back that was an actual user and not a spam-bot or advertiser of some sort.
After giving them a bazillion warnings between the last board and this board: yes. Especially when it constituted well over half of all their posts on the new board. The user in question also created new accounts just to create these threads.
Frankly, if you think those are funny I believe it is you with ZERO sense of humor.
That ran its course in a couple of days, as opposed to the behavior of memo_for_president, which was occurring over the course of several months with no signs of abating. You probably never saw those threads because we were pulling them down fairly quickly. We also started merging groups of "Better than Gaines" threads together after awhile, just like we have merged other threads together with the same premise or topic.
If you do not feel that you can be funny within the rules, you are cordially invited to post elsewhere.
Also, let's be serious here. You've received an infraction for circumventing the profanity filter, which has been a near-automatic infraction for years and predating almost every moderator currently on staff (I believe Jason and colton are the only exceptions, and it's their decision to have the filter and to monitor the contents of the filter).
The other thing that got you a warning (i.e. something with zero penalty, that's merely a reminder of the rules) and prompted this tirade was you posting a thread entirely devoted to a picture highlighting the outline of someone's genitals. If you've really been around for as long as you claim, I cannot believe you would be surprised by that. Especially since you personally reported a post for sexual innuendo today.
You're hardly a real victim or a martyr. Take some responsibility for your own actions and move on.

Just trying to make sure the rules are enforced equally. No, check that, that was phrased incorrrectly, as I'm not trying to moderate the board...that would be an infraction.
Note I did the reporting privately, but you called it out publicly. Maybe I should just quote any thread in question from now on and post that I expect the moderators to deal with it. Oh, but that would be back-seat moderating.
I feel an Alanis Morrisette song coming on...

Look son, Jazzfanz isn't about "having fun" or "joking around". Our board has an average mental age group of 50-60. The two primary goals on this site are posting severely flawed trade ideas and insulting Jerry Sloan while maintaining a haughty, arrogant posting presence. Sounding as pretentious as possible and proving many fools wrong. If you thought otherwise, you're in the wrong place.

Oh yeah, the one where she goes on and on about irony, citing examples that aren't even technically ironic? That's about right...
Dude, you received a WARNING. This is the equivalent of your mom yelling at you for leaving the door open. You weren't issued an infraction.
Get over it.
