Which Is Worse?

[TroutBum]

Scat does have a point though. I've rec'd warnings and infractions for things that are seen in threads on a daily basis, but because someone has "an axe to grind" with me, or because of past history, mine get reported or scrutinized a little bit more harshly. It's crazy for Colton to even hint at denying this, because it does happen.

I remember when I got an infraction for a spoonerism for Gordon Hayward, but Tonstermits and FakersLuck are just A-OK... Ah, memories... Let's not forget the fact that the whole "Rusty Trombone" thread is still alive and well, even though it has been pointed out that the definition on urban dictionary is vile beyond measure (by a mod, no less). I vaguely remember a certain poster getting an infraction for posting a cartoon picture of a woman shaving her pet beaver, infractions for cartoon poop, etc. but an entire thread based upon a "Rusty Trombone" is just fine by JF standards.

Again, for Colton to even accuse someone of "not getting it" is somewhat giggle-worthy.

I don't think your problematic posts get reported at a higher rate than anyone else's.

As far as whether you've received warnings/infractions for things that are seen in threads on a daily basis: moderators change, and different moderator crews have different thresholds for what is appropriate. My sense is that the current crew is a little more liberal than most have been historically. I really doubt that you've been given warnings/infractions by the current crew for things that are seen in threads on a daily basis.

Your spoonerism was a gay crack and was treated accordingly--especially because we had just announced that gay slurs would not be tolerated on the site. As far as their spoonerisms go, I myself voted to not allow them but as I said the current group of moderators are a bit more liberal.

Thanks for pointing it out; I hadn't read that particular thread. Thread now deleted.

Yeah, whatever. Believe what you like.

You're probably right, and I guess you'd probably know better than me.

Again, I suppose you would know more than me. I will agree with you re: the liberal moderating though, I feel like a lot gets by that wouldn't fly on the old site.

There's the rub. My spoonerism wasn't meant to be a slur at all. I detest anti-gay rhetoric and always have. As for the other guys, I see no problem with their spoonerisms either.

Well, that freaking sucks. That thread was enlightening to say the least. My apologies to the board for getting it removed.

Yeah, whatever. Believe what you like.

Of course I will, and so will you. FWIW, I wasn't trying to bitch and moan about being treated unfairly, because I feel like you guys are doing a dandy job and I have no beef. I was simply just agreeing with Scat and giving some personal experiences that coincide with his experiences.

You're agreeing with the guy who has a beef, does that make you have a beef? Or does agreeing with a beef not necessarily mean the beef is passed on? Or would a guy with no beef agreeing with a guy who has a beef make it a semi-beef, or does the no beef trump the beef?





All of a sudden, I feel like I want to eat a chicken sandwich.

Troutbum banned?

Damn liberals.

 

[Gameface]

Ahh, what the hell. How long is he banned for?

 

[freakazoid]

The power of Rectenbach should not be taken lightly. Today T-ville, tomorrow the world!

 

[Gameface]

So we gonna get the low down in the banned user thread, or what? Or can anyone else fill me in?

I agree with Trout wholeheartedly. That said my RT thread that was deleted was about a poster. A poster whose username was allowed by the God of this site. If it was such a provocative name, it shouldn't have even been allowed.

Excuse me for not immediately recognizing each and every sex term. Username was deleted the same time the thread was deleted.

Funny how it's a small few people in here complaining. Same ones that can't seem to draw a line and understand that prior record does play into the moderator voting decision.

Trout has been "perma"-banned twice before. As I've always said, it's only a matter of time...

So you're planning on him being "perma"banned before he is? Hmmmm... sounds fair.
