I've been banned from After Hours. Why??

Johnny Versace · 30-04-2004 4:53pm #1

Hello...

I've been banned from After Hours. I have no idea why. I don't insult people or try to cause trouble.

Yes, people disagree with some of my views on things, but this is hardly a banning offence. I mean, this is a discussion forum, right?

Most of my posts are very reasonable.

I didn't invent the game, i just roll the dice trying to get some change.

Lump · 30-04-2004 5:02pm

TBH Johnny, I asked the same question in IRC this very day. No one could tell me, then again it was 8.30 am

You were banned for your period thread, which was moved from PI to AH. This wasn't made clear by the Mod who moved it and it looked like you'd posted re: periods in AH (without reason relevant to AH). AFAIK.

IMO ur reinstatement should be forthcoming.

Oh look, a poll, how cute.

I can see a mod changing his mind when the poll shows everyone wants you back...

oh wait..... :rolleyes:

adonis · 30-04-2004 5:06pm

looks like that to me guys.

You cant ban someone for their point of view, unless you want everyone's point of view to be the same.

if the latter is the case, then the whole boards idea is a waste of time.

I thought it was a place where people could voice their opinions without petty actions such as banning et cetera...

i will only agree with valid reasons on this one guys...

Johnny Versace · 30-04-2004 5:06pm

Ahh. But my period thread was serious. And I did post it in Personal Issues.

Hmmm. We shall see...

You were banned for trolling, I'll let you back in a week but if you do it again I'll perm ban you.

I’ve spoken with Monty and he agrees with me on this, so cop on and stop regaling us with your heroic tales of sexual conquests/ fire arm use/ underworld connections etc etc etc. Also learn to back down when you are blatantly losing an argument.

Johnny Versace · 30-04-2004 5:10pm

When was I trolling????? Could you give me an example please?

That argument regarding cheating, it was agreed that my posts had been misread.

I don't actually think you do it on purpose. I think you actually think you're posts are ok and interesting and relevant. They're not though. a week off won't be anyone's loss.

adonis · 30-04-2004 5:12pm

you cant just say that to someone

"learn to back down when you are losing an argument"

Its ridiculous and reeks of fascism.
What if you had said that to Nelson Mandela, or all those people that died for their ideals?
Dont get me wrong i am not associatiang Versace, the common thug, with those venerable folk. The premise, though, is the same...

Surely a warning about trolling should be in place before a ban is?

Hey, this is a discussion forum.

You only want one view/opinion on things?

This place would be a little bit boring, don't you think?

And to say my posts are not relevant. I somehow get the feeling there is a personal gripe here...

bit unfair tbh. FREE JOHNNY!!!!!

tuxy · 30-04-2004 5:16pm

you know Johnny if you were a bit more tactful and pm'ed one of the mods instead of starting this stupid poll they probably would have unbanned you by now

Johnny Versace · 30-04-2004 5:19pm

Ahhh don't be so serious... It's just a poll...

Pepe LeFrits · 30-04-2004 5:21pm

wow, banning one of the few boards posters who actually contributes something funny and worth reading on a regular basis, for doing just that... bravo!

i'm clapping really, really slowly right now

ecksor · 30-04-2004 5:23pm

The only reason you could think I had a personal gripe against you would be because I banned you from College Work?

Please tell me you're being sarcastic...

Johnny Versace · 30-04-2004 5:26pm

Nope. On the few occassions you have spoken to me, either by PM or in public, you have always been extremely negative.

I'm willing to believe that. I suppose it depends on your definition of 'personal gripe'. Everyone who feels they've been treated unfairly by me comes to the conclusion I have a personal gripe against them :rolleyes:

Kaids, you're posting in the wrong thread. This thread is about the banning of Johnny Versace.

When did you ban him from college work? Thanks for informing me.

John

ecksor · 30-04-2004 5:38pm

I believe it was when you were away and asked for someone to keep an eye on the forum. I was going to unban him in a few months anyway.

You must have. I also like his posts.

adonis · 30-04-2004 5:41pm

as far as i can see there are a couple of reasonable people here..

and then there are the other people.

Its obvious there is a personal thing here...but hey, lets not be childish.
it always happens...

as clint eastwood once said

"absolute power corrupts absolutely"
