What did i just get through saying? No one else here that I know of is in a similar position... this has been ongoing for MONTHS. Besides... some people say that I give very fair warning, that I give some people to many chances, I dont enjoy removing people from the board. STOP trying to use a scare tactic on people. Ignorance => Fear => Hate => Violence |

Sheeh. I don't check the board for a week, and look what happens....I have no idea who it is...
Curiosity killed the cat...this will bother me for some time until I deduce who it is. |

Since you're adamant that this isn't a warning, and since you refuse to name the newly banned (therefore making this post the courtesy post you have designated it), this announcement comes across as nothing more than a flexing of your administrative muscle.

Just my penny;
I try to have a policy of "don't bite the hand that feeds" whereas I try to respect Elvis and his rules because of what he has/and is put into this place. If I get out of line (and I have before) it is nice for there to be a fair warning from Elvis or a mod in some manner as opposed to waking up and finding out you can no longer post. I like it here and don't want to lose my priviledges, nor do I want to see anyone else for that matter be forced out. Fair warning, common sense, and compliance with both should keep us all happy and posting. Yet so often (FYM) we get caught up in the moment, or emotion of a debate and post things that are too far out there, damage done. Ironically some of the best advice on this subject came from a handle that did not use it, which is why the HORROR is no longer with us. Yes, I am talking in the FIRST person here. Oh and the advice: "Focus on the issue, not the person" This is applicable to almost any situation, yet much easier said than done ![]() Peace ![]() ------------------ Throw me to the wolves because there's order in the pack.. Throw me to the SKY because I know I'm coming back? ~RHCP~ |

PS, I really don't see the point in censoring *******'s name, it makes it seem like there's some gigantic cover up going on. [This message has been edited by SkeeK (edited 03-23-2002).] |

not to get involved here but, seeing the 'offence' wasnt forum-based but rather chat-based, couldn't another form of action have been sort rather than ban him from the forum. he had behaved well in here and maybe doesnt deserve that. isnt there another option? ------------------ "we're free to fly the crimson sky...the sun won't melt our wings tonight..." |

People like this sometimes have made me not even want to run the site anymore. Why should I tolerate someone that has such a campaign against myself and my site, being a hypocrite and using it? This person blantantly thought it was funny to cause trouble, so much that he bragged about it in his profile with comments like 'is chatspionage a word?'. If anyone here has such hate for me, I can suggest three things: 1) email me - lets resolve this - I am not the big bad wolf 2) get over it 3) leave Personally, I'd prefer choice #1, discussing and resolving conflict is always the best way. I'm a VERY understanding and diplomatic person. But if someone decides to skip all three of those choices, they back me into a corner and force me to react. I run this site for a reason: I want U2 fans to have fun and interact with each other, not to mention... I've provided services to the online U2 community for almost 6 years now - I'd like to continue enjoying it. ------------------ -Elvis http://plot180.net/taol/ elvis@interference.com |

There are other ways to have an account terminated, and/or to be banned. I also am not the sole person that has ever been responsible for initial bans on this forum. Something to keep in mind also is that sometimes a ban is issued temporarily, to calm a person or situation down, and to simply bring a quick end to an unwelcomed situation. I will admit that in the past, there had been a few situations in which I just walked away from them without another thought - I'm not a fan of stress. Here is a taste of my philosophy... Human beings are gifted with consciousness and reason, and as in most modern societies are expected to use those gifts. They are also held accountable for their actions, and often reactions. Occasionally someone makes a choice that they don't properly analyze, sometimes that choice is the wrong choice. Whether that person knew prior that their choice was 'wrong' or not, they are still held accountable for their actions. The Internet, I feel, is no different. Interference.com and Feedback are no different in that respect either. Upon registering to this forum, and becoming a member of this community, each person is assumed to be a conscious and reasonable person, and likewise each person has the undesired opportunity to prove otherwise. Myself, admins, and mods are not here to teach right from wrong, only to keep the forum thriving in the best interest of the community as a whole, and the site. At times we may error, like anyone else, and for this I apologize, as I'd expect any reasonable person to do. ------------------ -Elvis http://plot180.net/taol/ elvis@interference.com |
