FF. I saw some of the stuff towards the end. Admitedly that was a bit of a short sample.

I've been doing this kind of thing since 2002 when I registered over at the San Diego Union Tribune. A foray over into the general news section got me banned for getting into it with a racist. I got an invite to chargers.com when it was in it's beta stage in 2004. There they evolved a whole systematic set of bannings and punishments for various reasons. They called them vacations in Cabo. One wrong word was good for a week off.

There was eventually a revolt and a mass defection over to Bolttalk... (which is a sister forum to this one). Unfortunately some of that .com strictness is evolving the same way at BT.

All I can say about house cleaning in a brotherly sense is... careful... you might get what you wish for.

I used to be part of a forum related to a celebrity death site. (findadeath.com)
They were super sensitive to any questions asking about former members being banned.
Yup. You guessed it. I was banned for asking innocent questions about being banned. LOL

On the subject of trolls and bans I just saw that GoPGo is also gone.
I have no problems with that.

Yeah my problem with him was he never seemed to post his own ideas, only saying others were wrong. I think 95% of his posts were quotes of other people and him contradicting them. I have no problems with a good debate, but his (or hers i guess) were always very tedious in nature.

Be careful.
They put John Lennon through the wringer when he wanted to move here and be a citizen.

I didn't have any of them on ignore. Didn't read most of their posts and usually I didn't respond to them. It was why bother. :notworthy:

I had a problem with one big style and let myself down. Thats why ":speechless: the ignore button is my friend :speechless:". ;)
Now I prefer to be insulted by friends...lol

I don't put people on ignore and truthfully, wazzizname, Spanish McFly didn't bother me a whole lot except on game day in the game chat. He kept posting the same nonsensical stuff, over and over ... then, when he carried the crap down here, I figured it was time to "out" him. I'm just spewing my opinion here, but I think he was actually a Giants fan having a little fun. That's ok and all that, it's just that he wasn't a very good troll is all... cripe, if he had mixed in a little bit of 'goulash smack' or 'yeti smack', I'd have given him a wink and a nudge...but, he was a one trick pony.

You in the Chat Box during the 4th quarter of the game: "I'm a better coach, I'm a better talent evaluator, I'm a better positions coach", etc.

You can't get much more narcissistic and delusional than that.
