Weekends are always fun around here. Usually starts around 8pm on Friday and rages through Sunday evening. Every once in a while you'll get the rogue poster that gets lit on a weekday evening but nothing is better than Saturday night around 11pm - 1am. Except PKM. His wife is pregnant and he's grounded from booze.
Should we choo-choo a Neg Train on Colton?

PKM is prolific...and not only with his posting.
When Daddy PKM "retires" from this board, it will likely be taken over by his spawn. Let's just hope the seed in this case is better than the parent and not the reverse (like Larry H and Greggy Boy).
Can we get a summary of the pros and cons in all of this?
Colton has earned my respect and isn't prone to jumping to conclusions in the least, so I have his back on this. But I also see the other side of things and prefer differently. Then again, I'm not a moderator who has to deal with all the whining from butthurt posters reporting every instance of internet harassment.
I've never reported a post & prefer offended people to deal with it in a more "manly" way. I.e. we used to pos rep people who put "this d-bag negged me for ***" in the rep thread. I think it's more shameful to get called out for being an *** than it is for Colton to have to tighten things up over alleged abuse and for others to feel shackled by it. Can't we start taking care of things the old fashioned way (hint: that'll take more reps per day and a more equitable formula. My feel rep is way too high in comparison to those who post better content on lower volume).

No it hasn't. I don't care about this Cy-Nikkk thing, but I do want to voice input on how I prefer things to be. I don't like the current system and would hate to see it tightened even further because two posters pushed the modstaff over their limits.
It may have ended here today but it hasn't ended in the behind the scenes decision making.
#liberate rep
I admit I haven't thought through this stuff at all.. so I'll just trust your end stinks on it.
Perhaps I made a mistake in how I handled things, but what's the proper response from an admin when a user indicates he feels he's being bullied by another user? I looked into the posts that were neg repped, and didn't see anything particularly neg rep worthy. Plus the rep comments were, and I quote, "negged hard", "yup", "stop being a loser", and "losing mentality", so it seemed to me that Hotttnickkk had a legitimate gripe. I decided, however, that it didn't really seem infraction worthy so it seemed that the appropriate response was to neg rep the neg repper. Which I did, after giving Cyrone a warning which was promptly ignored.
I'm actually not trying to be overly critical, which is why I have included you in my empathisizing. I also said I may have done the exact same thing.
Like I have said earlier.. it may have been better to say, "you've gotten on my last nerve and if I see it again, I'll give you a 6 month ban."
That takes away a poster's ability to martyr themselves and cause more chaos. It's all hindsight though.
Wtf.. nm, too tired.

Is there srsly a chance frank missed that joke?
I never even contemplated that possibility when reading his reply. I guess that would answer things though.
Use to neg Trout back in the day all the time. Negged PKM many a time before (though that may have been when we were at equal rep).
Damn.. good memory Cy. That hard to have been a LONG time ago.
