Unban KinderHye

Re: Unban KinderHye

He tried his hand at a KinderHye-type character without taking into account the eager vigileance and steadfastness of all the new moderation help around here. In short, one of the moderators didn't agree with his attempt at levity and busted him for having two accounts from one IP address...apparently, that is a no-no.

The good news is that the ban is only temporary. He'll be back on 10/5.

He tried his hand at it after I specifically told him that was why Kinderhye was banned. Further it was also what he posted (which ironically enough was quite unChristian-like). And he'll be back early 10/3, not 10/5.

We'll assume after both of these incidents that all members have been sufficiently reminded of that rule.

Understood...it's your call. The other option would have been to warn him (as far as I know, he has never broke the rules here before).
Anyway, as far as the vulgarities, I see where he was comming from. I'm sure those posts were a jibe/parody at a poster by the name of Vigilante, who seems to fly under the radar even though his posts are as low brow/vulgar as they come.

Regardless, it's time for everyone to sit back (including me) and let the new class of moderators do their job.

Re: Unban KinderHye

My last words on this...

I think I know the post you're referring to and it was edited. He may have posted vulgarities, not realizing he should choose his words more carefully, however imo it is worse for someone who knows it was inappropriate to create another account in order to make similar posts as a "joke". I fail to see the humor in that.

And although it doesn't matter, it was not the "new moderation." It was me and yes it is my call. Sure, I could have warned him (I'm aware of my options btw), but perma-banning your own alter and telling him it wasn't allowed just a day or 2 prior was his warning. Yet, he deliberating did something even more egregious which was deserving of a ban.

Re: Unban KinderHye

What thread was the so called vulgar post made in?

Re: Unban KinderHye

I have edited alot of Vigilante's stuff, particularly in the Virginity thread where he made pretty atrocious and insulting comments and I warned him.

So far as my knowledge goes, he was warned and has been behaving since then unless others can point to instances of him making other insulting posts.

There is no need to make a big deal about this. No one is permanently banned and sometimes rules have to be enforced for people to cool off.

I have enjoyed yeraz's contributions, and he will be back. So let's not make a big deal, it's just a moderation move and it will be gone soon.

If anyone doesn't like the rulse on the forum, you are free to leave and not post. I have been very lenient and lax with the rules, partly because I didn't have as much time, and I couldn't keep track of everything. Now that we have more moderators, we want to get this place to be a nice decent and coherent place again. Crusader, I have warned many times to not harass PepsiAddict. You have repeatedly done so and I have let it go, and you seem to have gotten the point. If I was truly into enforcing the rules I would have banned you. If you guys don't like the rules here (which isn't all that strict), you can go elsewhere. We do this because we like the place and we want to keep it troll-free.

Please don't take the moderation as a wrong way. Many other forums have either even stricter policies, or no policies whereby trolls run rampant.

"New" is a relative term. You have been gone a long time, so your modereating here is essentially just that, new, as it has changed the dynamics here.
Also, try not to get high and mighty with us lowly posters...we know your "aware of your options". ...and I don't nessesarily disagree with your action in temporarily banning yerazhishda, btw.

Moreover and again, this is the support and feedback thread...try not to be so sensative when posters tell you what they think.
In short, I don't want to have to walk on eggshells when conversing with mods/adminitrators.

Anyway, I'm glad you're back. Anonymouse (who does a great job) needed the help. I just worried that you (and some of the other moderators) may become overzealous. Maybe even "unChristian" .

Let's all be cool. Cooler heads will prevail. All things shall soon pass. Lets try to enjoy the forum for what it is everyone.

Re: Unban KinderHye

There is nothing to feel overzealous about crusader, I feel that the integrity of this forum and it's worthy content that I previously enjoyed as a regular member is something that I am now helping to perpetuate as a moderator.

I pretty much have the same thing to say as Anon.
