Users who change their user title to "banned" ...

QUOTE=Cuebuddy;5551784]Never spoke to ENGLISH! I can't remember even sharing a thread, I mostly just sat back and read in utter amazement.

I really cant help but think of this song while reading this thread.

Sometimes it is hard not to jump on the

I'm just curious about the root of the reasoning. It's got to be more than its not found to be too amusing. What brought all of this about when it's been going on for years.....since I've been here.

Someone (I believe it was English) complained about it in another thread.
 
All of this fuss over one man complaining? Especially English? Surely not.

I haven't actually complained about it, but I think it's pretty annoying. It should be obvious wether someone is bad or not. As with ENGLISH! at the moment, where his huge banner and avatar is gone, it's pretty obvious, with other users, not so much. I don't find it particularly funny. Would you find it funny if I wrote "Administrator" under my name? I wouldn't think so.

I get that for some people on here, the whole reason they're even here is picking fights and pissing people off and they get off on inconveniencing others. That's not amusing to me. Those people are d-bags who you'd shun in real life and should be given as little chance to cause harm and anger as possible. When it says banned under these people's names we should know it's for real. There should also be some kind of indicator to show if someone is perm-banned or not.

Personally I never have found the " banned " thing funny at all. But at the same time it doesn't bother me at all either, all people have different attitudes and find different things funny etc. I've seen them and never really thought twice about it. Point is Mike did see it and apparently it is a big deal to him and it's his forum so people need to abide with what Mike thinks bottom line. I have no idea but I'd like to think English did not get "BANNED LOL " just for that though. I'm guessing no.

I don't know the answer, but in all seriousness, it could be viewed as mocking the mods. They eventually get tired of the BS and make decisions to restore order and and often get criticized for it. It has become a sore spot.

man ive been here for over a decade.....went the the fast larry wars.....i wasn't active much between 2012 and 2015.....one of the last user messages i got was from rick....

Thanks for the green & the Info. I hope to learn more about S.A.M. Thanks Again. Eat well. Rick (English!)

thats still the last user public message ive recieved...you know like your "wall"

and few months ago i came back on and we talked a little bit....and then he messaged me and all was good but seemed little strange.....i tought a couple pepole may have just been giving him hard time.

it was on some seemingly innocent stuff...

and then talking to a few people i've known quite some time, like Scott lee....phone calls and such....mentioning whats going on? and says man you know he joined few years back and 17k posts later and he derails and is passive aggressive and troll....and i started posting again more, and ive alwyas been in cuemakers sec, npr, main, mech, bla bla bla...i know some come here and stick to one place or two...whatever....

and like within a couple months i went from thinking rick was a good dude to "the black plague".....makes fast larry look like a great guy imop.

it was really like "AWE COMON MAN!" give the guy a break....were on the interent.....to a whole band of members like a WHOLE band who have never agreed on anything wishing John Scmits goat would arise and eat ENGLISH! and chit him off a cliff......derezzed lol

never seen nothing quite like him...i'm 32 and a computer nerd from way back even the old old 3.11 and apple lisas.......real floppys...ansi art lol....been in many forums. lots of trolls out there. Mike "mad martigan" Howerton was needed to save us.

from the trolls......maybe he should run for president...he doesn't wear a dead squirrell on his head...i dont think hes gotten people killed, or had a server in his home as a top government employee of the people....probably wont give away everyones money.....start a state funded pool program and tour across the nation....

mike howerton for president of the united states of america.

are there write ins? lol

and its some things are just obvious....ive been a memeer like i said ten plus years....5000 posts....thats not crazy....someone who i guess doesn't know me that well obviously called me out for a 4am post......

i used to talk to fatboy till 3 or 4am my time and often till 2 when i was watching a well on an old hitch before 2010....

and i would post late night when i get breaks when i may have a shut in and change over where i been awake over 24hrs...because i have to be...its really not that bad you get used to it....

but when a person puts up almost 20k posts in 4 years........or less i'm sure.....and he seems to be on for 24 hours a day.....and seems like lots of trouble "follows" him.....

if this was happening in a small town in real life say.....with other issues....you think the sherriff will let that out of towner stay in his town?

just realized after ten years i can delete those messages....only one.....and it was a thankyou.

OOOOOOOOOOOK then...........
 
ENGLISH should have just posted pics of women on NPR without comments to get his post count up.
 
This thread has really gone sideways. Mods please pull this thread before it gets really ugly!
 
you really think so or am i being dense and dont get the joke lol

Yes, I'm joking. Mike owns AZ and created this thread, so I'm joking about him pulling his own thread down. :wink:

I view AZ as entertainment, so I joke around a lot these days. Humor is a funny thing. No seriously.

I think it's simply an accounting problem.
When AZ bans someone, it says banned.
If you allow fake bans, it's hard to keep track of who is actually banned.

Kinda like a customer marking 'paid' on an invoice...without having paid.
