Well I figure, ADMINS / MODS need to set a standard.

I guess some people skip posts as they read and might not have gotten the message. (anythings possible)

or will it be more fair to PM them to make sure they get the message. or make it a Forum Rule (which i think probably is already)

Did the convicted people have a fair chance at getting the message? (A message they MUST have received e.g. PM etc.)

Anywho, Cest La Vie !

Hey guys, just wanted to know... if ur typing a message (short message) do soem of u see this AD of www.IMHOSTED.com from 4.95 etc etc... its blue and red...

IS it ME OR DOES THAT DOOD w/ teh EAR PIECE look like JET LI???

driftyour40

^^^hey he does look like jet lee

As for blue, I didn't know him at all, but he was a cool guy. I guess you do have to follow the rules though.

ICKY

To tell you the truth, IMO it was weak for the mods to pink him for a month, but when he created a new account to escape the pinking, the mods are in the right to ban him. Like it was said before, pinking is punnishment. If anything, I would've pinked him for a week for saying hi, but i'm no mod.

Edit: For those of you who think the mods are in a power trip, Look at how many people have been pinked/banned lately... not that many iirc. Less than there was when i first joined (for bans atleast).

If he broke the rules then why WOULDN'T you get banned?

PHLIP- You have used that quite a lot.

I use that link everytime you motherfucking ingrates decide to bitch about how this forum is moderated... Most of the people pinked/banned around here EARN that shit, Luke got banned for behaving like a dick, fuck him... Who is next?

Wow, with an attitude like that they have guys like you running the show? If I was the owner of this site, I would ban you Phlip because of your poor attitude towards others, which reflects on this site.

If I was a new person trying to join Zilvia and read something like that you just posted, I wouldn't register.

In light of the situation, what's done is done. I'm pretty sure Luke now realizes his mistakes.

just because some of us might be Aholes and don't seem to contribute much tech doesn't mean we DON'T contribute ever. i have ZERO problems with the way this forum is moderated. why does my opinion matter? oh cause i've been pinked TWICE and banned once Which was turned around when i talked to west about it. guess what? they were totally justified in their action. why? cause it isn't MY forum. i like it so much that i even bay ten bucks a year AFTEr being banned and pinked twice.

if you don't like it LEAVE if you do like it try to in some way keep it to be a good place. i don't want this place to be all smiles and rainbows, that's queer. i want a place where i can get the info i need, make fun of what i want, and get an honest opinion when i want it.

you are naive and weak. you gotta learn how to swim if you want to stay afloat. fuggin deal.

This is going to turn into one of those "I continue to voice my opinion, when someone already said it" threads. Or its going to turn into one of the threads where the mods say, "Anyone who posts after this are getting banned."

He got banned, too bad so sad. Move on. I got irritated of seeing them continuously say "Hi. (insert name here)" too. It was stupid.

Just a question. How much bandwidth is actually used by single stupid posts like "IBTL"?

bing

can someone explain to me what happened to kidzelda and nitekids exactly?

they have been on the boards a long time, before myself even.

i would hope that tenure would amount to something, it does in politics and employment.

Tenure ammounts to alot here. Not preferential treatment, but where we may pink a noob, a long-time member would get AIM'd or PM'd or something.
KidZelda was even a moderator here. And then Thatguy locked a dumbass thread of his in OT. He came out with "Only bitches lock threads" while he himself locked a thread in his regional forum. And did so rubbing in his newfound "power". After being told to stop, he didn't. Got pinked. Continued. Created a new username to circumvent bieng pink, and boom. Banned. Nightkids was worthless, and just pissed people off. Search to get the whole scoop on nightkids.
However, towards the subject at hand, the bandwidth used isn't due to the post. "IBTL" or "Hi" by themselves use .000001kb. A non-issue. But, the work done to display that is alot. First, the forum gives a 6-digit post number to that post. Then, the poster's name is shown. The name is a hyperlink. Well... 6 or so. Then, the AIM/Yahoo/ICQ icons, rate this post, the online indicator, report the post, ect. Probably ~10 icons, all hyperlinks are displayed. Then, the server finds and posts their post count. Their car, location, and user title. Then, there is a rather large ~60kb avatar. And the ~500kb sig picture. And the signature text. Then the post reply, quote, ect buttons all pop up. The search function has to index that post, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes information is indexed, marked, pulled up, displayed, linked to.. hundreds of hits to pictures, recalling info from the user file, ect. All to display "hi". It's unnecessary, and people will be punished for stupid shit.

So, can we end this discussion and lock this thread yet, or do you guys feel the need to continue to debate something you can't change? Just wondering.

kandy: no

RPS13 - feel nervous/scared if you feel you must. As long as you obey the rules and behave, you won't be bothered.

btw, Jeff forgot to mention that that info must be loaded for every user who sees that thread, every time they refresh it. It's more a matter of having more useful posts than useless posts. I know I wouldn't want to pay to ship a diamond ring boxed in a lead crate. It's too pricey.

RPS13: You feel scared and nervous and then you say PHLIP should be banned? If you're so nervous and scared how can you point fingers at people you thing should be banned and complain about someone being banned. PHLIP was defending himself cause I'm sure he took it offensively. Or did you not think that he MAY take it that way?

MrMeph: I just thought it might cause the Premium Forum doesn't get that many new topics. You better believe that I will renew it though cause I like being a premium member and supporting this site. I need to buy a sticker too.

well guess what, sorry about your luck but you're not the owner of the site so get the fuck over it...
as for luke realizing his mistake, good, he probably won't make the same one again when the ban is lifted (any mod wanna comment here? cause I'm sure it wasn't a perma-ban, or maybe it was since he did decide to try to circumvent the system).

as for the IBTL stuff.... I've seen several times where mods have said that won't be tolerated anymore, and I reccomend they start enforcing that because its just a gay waste of space. at least post something else than IBTL, post something like "gayest thread ever" or "$10 says this is locked in an hour"....

and on a personal note stop with the gay fag dude IBTL picture, you know the guy with the clocks and shit.....

like I said earlier, I'm a mod on another board and am lenient as shit on stuff but when somebody blatantly breaks a rule they are usually warned, if they are warned and just decide to be a smartass and do whatever they did I ban or limit their posting.

sorry about your luck but if you did something to get pinked/banned you probably deserved it. as for tenure... yeah it has a lot to do with it. there was an instance a few months back where if I had been a new member I probably would have been pinked, but instead my post got edited and I got yelled at.... (granted this sn isn't that new but my old one I never posted on and forgot all the login info too was from like early 2002)


anyways I think this thread is pointless and if I was a mod I'd lock it. get over it, the mods aren't having a power trip, just a lot of members are having a bitch trip. and if anybody has a problem with this post here's my information:

Then why did he get banned for just having fun, he never got out of line, was informative, and seemed like a cool guy after reasurching his post.

Ohh and it looked like he only was warned once like a month ago.
Maybe he forgot, besides, you people just banned him after being part of your forum for like 3 years? wtf. When i finally joined after being a guest for the last year or so, i never got a notice telling me that i could not create a new screen name.

Why throw someone away to just make an example?

nismo2491

the new screen name part is in the beginning when you say that you agree to the terms and conditions, and even if it isn't he created a new screen name to try to get around a disciplinary action.

he got banned because he was doing worthless post whoring and was told specifically to stop it by a moderator, so what if he maybe forgot or whatever, where does it say that the mods have to follow a 1-2-3- strike rule, nowhere.

look I liked luke as much as the next guy, but he didn't follow the rules, and I'm sure if he had edited his post, or just spoke with the mods personally and said he was sorry, he forgot blah blah, since he did have tenure the mods probably would have shortened the pinking, or lifted it completely. but instead he tried to beat the system, and lost.

*sigh*
Could someone tell Luke to stop making new usernames?
I don't want the other users (and there are a few others) on his subnet to have to suffer because of his inability to comply.

not his fault though since the girl changed the host name.

The thing i hate the most is when the mods bring the "User Agrement" into it.

Yeah i've read it..i read it it every day

do you guys remember the last software license agrement you read? I dont. In *REALITY* only common sense will save you , not memorizing the user agrement.

The pattern with most banned users(as i see it), is that it starts out with something insignificant. Like saying hi, or some other stupid little thing that they were warned for, and maybe they got pinked, or banned for a week. Then they try to fight it and/or they are rude to the authorities or they keep making new accounts. This is only cause they believe they didnt deserve what they got and they just acted in the moment. Also, some of you may think this is just a forum, but lots of us here keep contact through Zilvia, and it really sucks cause it's like a phonebook of some sort. Especially for us Cali guys cause i've met 50ppl in the bay area just through this forum..so when i was banned and i needed info about a meet or needed to pm someone, i couldnt and it sucked really bad (i dont have everyone's phone number). That's why for some people it's worse than others.

The above may be irrelevant but it's still my point.

Also Luke..sorry but you gotta learn that you arent an acception to the rules..i'm sure you're reading this somehow. STOP MAKING NEW ACCOUNTS.
