If anything an interesting point of veiw.

Seems like the mods here are starting to take the posts personal here.

This forum is going on a downward spiral.

Any way it's pretty fvcking ridiculous and you yourselves should be banned.

Hahaha do you guys get some sort of power trip or something?

If you guys so choose to ban me please do me a favour and remove all my posts thanks.

Sam your bed doesnt seem to be made yet and forget the ice cream untill you finish your vegetables... also there's the meeting with the teachers tomorrow and if I were you I would already prepare to do without nintendo for a good month following it...

I'm wondering if Zarky got banned too, since he changed his name to Thumpy now. I enjoyed Down Low's posts, although I know he could get cranky at times. In any case, there are certainly a lot more abusive posters on here than them, and they're not banned.

 

[Atom Smasher]

Sam the Hobbit, Who Dares Win, and zekko, you're all banned. Please pack your things.

All kidding aside, Sageproduct and NN went on a downward spiral into attention horing until they colluded with each other to make the most nonsensical and inflammatory posts imaginable. Any time they got bored (daily) they would come up with still more nonsense.

I have no idea about what happened to down low. I'm sure he went way over the line.

I get PMs constantly from members who request that this member or that be banned. If I acted on all of them I'd be typing to no one but myself here. We actually ban very sparingly, and someone has to be pretty blatant in their skirting of the rules in order to get the axe.

We also usually privately warn before resorting to banning. IMO it's pretty tough to get yourself banned around here, and every case is discussed carefully before any action is taken. As one who doesn't make the rules but tries to enforce them fairly and without a heavy hand, I consider this to be a very reasonable approach.

Surprised to hear NN was banned. I guess once he listed me in his favorite members list it was just too much for the mods to bear.

 

[betheman]

how about instead of issuing bans, after they have been warned, publish the reasons for the ban then make a time limited online poll, for or against? makes it a bit more transparent
the mods vote swaying any doubt

 

[MM92]

Glad NN is banned. He was just a weirdo. It was obvious as **** ironically he was everything we're striving not to be. A fat, greasy mid-life waster who sits in his bedroom "trolling" people on the internet. Amazed people on here actually took him seriously.

 

[Slickster]

I'm in full support of the mods banning people and trying to clean this place up.

There is WAY too much off topic bullsh!t on the forums these days. There are certain members that when you look at their post history they have NEVER made a single post that could be considered helpful.

Bravo to the mods. Get rid of the trolls.

 

[youngmack]

Yeah naughtyninja was on some sh1t, and most of his posts were pointless

I don't think we need trials every time some one is banned. I believe the moderators of SS are mature and responsible enough to know what they are doing. As long as the forums are kept clean and in order, I think they are fulfilling their tasks.

[Censored so Colossal Moderator The Self-Absorbed One doesn't delete] The Unmentionable One Who Abundantly Deserves Ridicule is still on SRA Purple Level and hoping to get a Red Star from his teacher so he can move on to SRA Violet Level.

Downlows reason for finally being banned. I for one am glad the mods are cleaning up this place. We're here to game not shame women. :nono:

Agreed...

Thread moved to AE...

...and apologies for not being around here cleaning up a bit more. I've been out in the field working on my pickup and conversation skills. That's what everyone here should be doing.

Down Low brought NOTHING to this forum except excessively and needlessly criticizing members in a nonconstructive manner. All he brought was his own ego. In other words, he was a troll.

The mods can't even ban people. Only the admins can. As for your posts they will never be deleted. They will be sold to the highest bidder and printed in a book about how not to pick up woman. Sosuave owns your ass.

 

[Colossus]

Just to clarify some things on banning:

Everything AtomSmasher said is correct. We don't just arbitrarily ban people who hurt our feelings. There are rules. They are currently stickied at the top of the MM forum. It happens infrequently, but when it does its usually for one of the following: spamming, blatant trolling, repeated flaming, and multiple accounts. All are given fair warnings except for spammers and bots. We don't catch everything, so reported members have to be reviewed before any action is taken.

Since there aren't many of us mods anymore and we have lives too, the site admin is looking for some new mods to help clean up the streets.

I can't recall being apart of a decision to ban a member, except for the worst trolls and of course spammers. Though I am probably among the more laissez-faire of the bunch.

I sincerely hope you're next Sam. Your posts are ridiculous and don't add anything to the forum. I can't find a single thread of yours regarding dating and how it affects your life. Weren't the first two guys sending adult links to people? Why would you want that to continue on these boards?

Instead of worrying about people you don't know in real life, on an internet forum, I think you should worry about your own life. Specifically, your life and the (lack of) girls in your life.

Maybe you forgot, this is a DATING WEBSITE

 

[Gray The Prince]

Hopefully SamTheHobit is next. Every time I log in he's always whining about something.

 

[Mike32ct]

I think the mods are decent guys who do a good job.

Lol, its been on a downward spiral for years. A lot of people in the pickup community openly make fun of this place. It aint what it used to be. And trust me kid, you and I missed the glory years by a long shot. Youd have to go back to the early 2000s to truly see when this forum was bursting at the seams with great information and dialogue.

And regarding your main point. The mods let people get away with murder here. So I wouldnt say they are too bad. That being said, in my opinion some do show bias to those who parrot the websites group-think. But thats like a lot of forums online. So it is what it is.
