Some mods are out of control

[Fandango 1,439]

So I dunno which one did it, but thread banning AJ from the 'who's next' thread is ridiculous and insulting. Considering it's a mastubatory thread for two anyways, but for him to take part and then get banned is outrageous. Not to mention the personal attacks to me from two spineless posters that need to be PA and start ####### in a thread where I wouldn't normally go into, but that's another story. Start with me, fine...but at least do it where I would normally see it...not elsewhere where one can feel 'badazz' for attacking me in a place I probably wouldn't see. It's lame at its best, cowardly at its worst.

I have contacted mods, and have yet to rec a reply.

I want to know whether they were suspended, and I want to know why AJ was thread banned. I will be contacting Ewok personally, because this is completely out of hand. He followed the rules of the thread and there is no reason why he should have been TB.

Thank you.

I contacted Captain Ewok once for the same reason. First came nothing. A week later came an automated response. Then came nothing again. And, finally, nothing. A complete waste of time.

unless aj was there really stirring up stuff and posting against tos ... i'd be interested in learning how someone can get thread banned if they are within the tos ...

[Fandango 1,439]

I really don't care about what reg posters in that thread do...the thread itself is lame, but hey, if it floats their boats, then go for it. But it shouldn't be used as a 'safe haven' to post passive aggressive attacks against other posters, nor should it be used as a private clubhouse where anyone else who participates gets thread banned. Regardless of whatever the perceived 'motivation' is for posting there, if one follows the thread and stays within the confines (which aj did) then there is no reason why he should have been tb, and for it to happen is an insult to everyone actually.

Thanks, Lisa.

Also, to pre-empt the expected mod "you don't know all the facts" response - Lisa was there. She does know.

np AJ.

I do find the lack of mod input here to be a bit curious

They will likely provide input after they've discussed it privately and will lock this thread immediately after

since when did you ever need for that situation to occur?

That's because it's the 3rd of the month

i'm mystified

That's because the 3rd of the month doesn't mean much to you, me or alot of the population.

It would seem my instincts to skip that thread all together have probably been well founded.

But I didn't even know we DID thread banning on this site. And if we do (apparently!), I would assume it would have to be a pretty extreme circumstance.

No, not extreme. As punitive measures go, it is less severe than a site suspension.
