edit to avoid doublepost:
Harsh, I think I made Tweek hate me.

What I tried to say earlier but my text disappeared because I got logged out was this:
I have no problem with there being a social hierarchy here. It's perfectly natural and perfectly alright. But I've noticed that very few people higher up on that hierarchy are taking this at all seriously. Mostly they don't care. Because this doesn't apply to them. They are above the law.
Ross is a clear example of the need for giving warnings to everyone regardless of their standing with the site, and letting the bannings follow appropriately from the warning system, instead of tossing out instant permabans here and there whenever the fancy strikes you. I like Ross and I think he's a valuable contributor to this community, and if he got warnings for half the shit he does he'd have been banned months ago, but see, the idea is that you give warnings to, like, warn people and show that there are indeed consequences, so that they will grow up and avoid getting enough warnings to be banned, because if you don't do that then somebody will eventually get so out of line that you'll just have to drop the banhammer without warning. Which is lame.

You guys must have epic patience or something... cause I was on about this months ago. I don't really give a shit anymore after being banned several times and getting detention for a reason that was never adequately explained. Have fun crying though, it never got me anywhere with this.

i can tell everyone exactly why you were, if you don't want to stop being full of shit.

Still derailing the topic? I don't see how the post contributes or pertains to the topic at hand, so why are spamming up the thread? Should I really delve further into the reason why? Or should we just group up and stop derailing the thread?

Seriously, what goal are you trying to reach? Derail the thread enough to get it locked so we can't discuss the subject any more?

e: Also, I'm talking to peng.

no i'm not intentionally trying to get this topic locked. i'm making these posts because you guys are getting so worked up over nothing. chill the fuck out. everyone is in DETENTION. which means they will come back soon. and jcap even apologized to Emmzee for him being in detention for so long because there was an error on his part. Seriously you guys can't let anything go. i'm not derailing, i'm, more or less, mocking you guys. Aggy will be back when he calms down, he's only in detention.

And this "conspiracy" is not a place where everyone goes to bash other members. I'm not gunna lie and say that it doesn't happen, cause it does. People come along, they're retarded, they piss off other members, so those members post about it in there. but to be honest, it's no different then IM. it's a PRIVATE board so none of you will ever know what has been said about you. and I'm sure many of you have done it to others over aim. But as i was saying, that's not the sole purpose of that board. it's a place where RESPECTED (key word here) members can just post about random useless shit that we feel like posting. about 90% of that board is just spam from half of us being bored. 9% is us bashing ross or other members in that board and the 1% is people getting angry at members being retarded. It's a place for us to post funny shit and have fun without regards to the rules.


In closing. avoid chupacabras. they will eat your soul.

I was banned with only one withstanding warning, which would expire the date my ban was to be lifted (December 19), and that warning was for only 2 points. I'm no expert at math, but I'd say that since 20 points is needed for a ban, 2 is less than 20.

So I'm calling bullshit on the current banning system, not the one that's on the books, but the one that is practiced widely.

you were banned unintentionally after being placed in detention for valid reasons. they felt bad about the mistaken banning and said you're off the hook. stop whining. shush. Just be glad no chupathingies are in detention.

All I can say is that I'm glad to see someone's got the balls to admit something, instead of keeping it strictly private and lying about it. Basically, what makes everyone so apprehensive of the board you speak of is how its supposed to be. It's at the point where Jcap lies about the list just to keep it under hush. If that's not the reason Jcap, feel free to post a response as to why you lied then.

I realize now that what you mostly do is what people like me do on aim, but what my argument used as a point earlier is that the list wasn't talked about in AIM or anything, it was done on these boards, albeit in secret. If the list's posting was such a horrible offense then why was it posted on the boards? It would have been completely different if it were over aim or even somewhere else.

Anyway, I guess you are right. I guess some of us were getting overly excited (keep in mind excited doesn't always bear the meaning of being happy) and stuff. I really shouldn't drag others into this, it was really just me. I guess I should apologize, huh? Well, here it is. I am sorry I was getting wound up about shit I don't know anything about. Lately I've just been finding it harder to trust people simply because of them lying, and it had me alarmed. So with that, I'll try to avoid getting in this situation again. :\

No, I was banned.

Jcap himself said that detention is indefinite, until you have proven in the detention thread that you will improve, and I experienced this firsthand before. When I logged on on December 5th, I got the message that I had been banned until December 19. That's 2 weeks. And here I thought detention was indefinite.

nice try. as jcap himself said, it was an error with the system, and your unintentional ban went unnoticed by the staff, therefore, you were let off the hook, and told to watch your posting habits.

Oh, so you're believing jcap because he's an administrator? Unnoticed? Bull shit. You'd think they would notice the "banned" title, and why I wasn't posting in my detention thread. Nice try.

I see what's going on here.
