wtf?

enlighten me, what's going on? i'd like to see what you can come up with

[jcap]

I never noticed your banned title. I didn't notice it once since I never looked at your profile. When banned, or even in detention, you are removed from the member list. At one time I was about to check your account to be sure that you weren't banned, but I was sidetracked with another thing I was working on. I questioned why you weren't posting in the detention thread, but it also crossed my mind how there's two other users in there who never replied, and with it being your second time in there, it would make sense if you got pissed. If you were intentionally banned, you would have fully served it. You also would have been banned for an entire month. And to answer your first question: yes, you should believe me because I am an administrator. I'm not trying to fool anyone. All you are doing is fooling yourself.

Also, you are wrong with your numbers. Five points are required for a 1 month ban.

After five (5) active points are accumulated, the user will be banned for a period of one month. The staff may choose to intervene at any time and move a user into "detention" to discuss their actions, their history, and where they are headed.

Maybe you're fooling us all.

Also, is that new? The last time I read the rules was last year, and it was 20 points = permaban.

You could've just said yes.

I'm still waiting on either the one obvious thing or the other obvious thing I'd like to hear one of the mods say. I already did my end of it. Now let's hear it.

Did rob get banned, like...within 4 minutes ago?



Edit:
What the fuck, for a minute it said he was banned.

[Rob Oplawar]

AH I TOLD YOU SO NAZI CONSPIRACY!
I HACKED THE SITE JUST TO SAY THIS!
I'm pissed, and I'm leaving forever, now I'll unhack it and stay permanently banned.


edit: juust kidding. Atty was just testing something or other. I'm apparently a guinea pig.

I don't really know what it is. My guess is that the site is under"staff"ed. We have (with the exclusion of myself) 6 staff members; 5 of them are United States users, and one of them is a New Zealander. Nobody is paid to do this; hell, I imagine the ad revenue generated is barely enough to cover a fraction of hosting costs, so I'd imagine that our staff's priorities are focused on more important matters.

This is a fan-owned-and-operated site, not a forum run by a company with people they pay to ensure everything stays the way the webmaster desires, right down to the letter. This is why these forums are so lenient with some things as compared to Gearbox. We don't have an ennui who is getting paid to browse the forums, moderate them, and act as public relations.

It's because you gave me sass Rob.

True story.
