--- Quote from: Muttley Snickers on March 07, 2020, 10:52:05 pm ---You should do away with the silly exclamation mark thing !, and and put back the Banned banner, otherwise people won't get the message nor the permanent reminder that they are no longer welcome here. --- End quote --- As Simon mentioned, I don't think it's a good look to new people to show a big "BANNED" banner next to messages. This is not an overly moderated forum, and I don't want new comers (who often come from highly moderated forums). And if we have to ban a member with thousands of messages (it happens sometimes unfortunately) then that's thousands of messages with "BANNED" next to them. So the exclamation mark is there so experienced members know they have been banned, but not off-putting for newbies. |

The last thing you want is this place turning into another Whirlpool with a large number of users suspended due to over-zealous moderation (or at least the perception of that). |

I've created hundreds of accounts on this site over the years. I rarely use any account for more than a few months, this is how you keep entities from selling your information. You use a burner email address, make an account (or group of accounts themed, like birds! Or spaceships! Etc ;D) and use them for a while and then dump them. Watch this, the shill mod will ban this account, even though I am being polite and all that means is I will make another account next time I want to post :-DD --- End quote --- What else do you expect as a new member coming here and slagging the moderators ? :-// You hardly set a good example for other members to follow. Play nice, refrain from politics, treat others with respect and keep OT (electronics is much preferred) and mods will leave you in peace. It ain't that hard or your stay here again will be short. --- End quote --- It all started because he had to have a china versus the west argument. Nothing at all to do with me but he got offended that yet again he was stirring it up and being told not to. I don't get the shilling thing, he is completely irrational. He can't win one thing so has to invent another to complain about. He also does not seem to realize that it's not me versus him. Every time he opens a new account and annoys people I get a report. He probably won't accept that he is annoying plenty of people on here. --- End quote --- Yes I know, I've been watching too and we've exchanged emails about this and IMO you have more than patient with this new/old member that apparently shows little respect for the forum or you. Once asked nicely publically and via PM's, blatant public disrespect of you or other mods should be a ban. Period. That you may have some squabble in PM's or emails doesn't impact on the forum so should be given more slack IMO. But bring it back to the forum and it's bye bye birdie goodbye ! Good luck Solomon. ;) |

--- Quote from: Munich on March 08, 2020, 03:38:08 am ---What about when the mod is disrespectful to begin with? If you throw something in my face, I will throw it back. If you want to ask something nicely, I will be nice back. It's pretty simple... --- End quote --- If you disagree with the moderation, take it up with that mod in private. Don't turn it into an argument in public. Keep in mind, it's impossible to keep everyone happy, all the time. --- Quote from: Munich on March 08, 2020, 03:38:08 am ---As far as multiple accounts, when an account gets permanently banned, and you create another, I don't think that is multiple accounts. You need to come to terms with the fact that as long as this is a public forum, you cannot ban someone, they just create another account. I can understand agressively trying to prevent someone from using a forum if they are a total jerk and causing mayhem or damage to the forum, but what did I do? Disagree with a mod? And this results in instant ban as soon as he suspects it is me? --- End quote --- Circumventing a ban by creating a secondary account is deemed multiple accounts. Two wrongs don't make a right. Moderators temporarily or permanently ban users for a good reason and those reasons are set down by Dave (the owner of this forum). If you are told something by Dave or a moderator, then accept that as the rules of the forum. Users here have it pretty easy. This is one of the least moderated forums on the internet, particularly for the number of active users it has. At the end of the day, if you're unhappy with the decision of a moderator or your dislike what someone says in public, sleep on it, accept the difference of opinion and move on. It's an argument you won't win. |

--- Quote from: Munich on March 08, 2020, 03:52:07 am ---I am not trying to argue. Just trying to contibute. --- End quote --- I didn't suggest you were trying to argue. I should be more clear: My responses weren't directed at you, they were directed at the wider audience. When I referred to "you" I meant the reader. --- Quote from: Munich on March 08, 2020, 03:52:07 am ---I see no reason to ban or censor someone for such an opinion, it makes no sense unless you sympathize with that genocide. That's all. --- End quote --- Because this is an Electronics forum and Dave has made it quite clear that occasional off-topic stuff is OK, but try to keep it on-track. When threads start getting political, they almost always derail because some people can't help themselves and absolutely must have the last word. At some point a moderator has to step in to halt the snowball. |
