Come on, man. Your Facebook source says this: “I guarantee there are as many 15 yo girls begging and luring men to have sex with them or make out at some party” and you take her seriously? She probably sees nothing wrong with a husband slapping his wife for dinner being cold. ---

And now we have another thread taken over by an obvious sexist troll. As I mentioned in another thread, I was told today that they will not give refunds for your membership purchase. Anyone thinking about supporting the dope should consider how they are handling the out of control trolls on this board. ---

So much for moderation. Another hijack. Count me as another former charter member who stopped renewing because of the hostile tone of the board in the past, and no change since then. I’m not going to pay when I sometimes need to step away from the board for months because the vibe is so vile. ---

> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > Correct. This is why today’s women quail and have their lives ruined by things that would have been but a momentary annoyance to women in 1960. This is fucking gross. You are suspended for 3 days while we discuss what to do with you. I also logged a formal warning for this. [/moderating] ---

I started the thread, and moved your post to it. Unfortunately, vBulletin always sorts posts by when they were posted, so there was no way to make your post appear after mine. I don’t want to close this thread. However, out of respect for your wishes, I have removed your post from the beginning of the thread so that it is more clear that I am the thread’s originator.

I would urge you and the other mods to strongly consider at the very least, a board wide topic ban, if not an outright banning. Thanks again. ---

> [@Bone](#): > > This is fucking gross. You are suspended for 3 days while we discuss what to do with you. > > [/moderating] Holy shit, is this long overdue. I am TIRED of seeing the same posters pretend that they have no idea what is offensive. In many cases it is obvious they DO know exactly what they’re doing and they post awful things anyway knowing it will be upsetting. And if they really are not capable of getting it, then I’m okay with banning them. Seriously, if you are too much of an asshole or too stupid to get some of this stuff, then just go away. Go find some place else to spew your vileness. That “joke” of Shodan’s should have resulted in a suspension. That was vile and he KNEW it was vile when he posted it. Oops, posted a rape joke, so sorry - that should not be the end of it. ---

> [@engineer\_comp\_geek](#): > > I started the thread, and moved your post to it. Unfortunately, vBulletin always sorts posts by when they were posted, so there was no way to make your post appear after mine. For future reference, there is as a mod: find an early post of yours, use the copy post field to duplicate the post in the old thread to the the thread you want to insert your early post in, then “edit” it by completely rewriting the OP. Since your earlier post is older than the new thread, your post gets inserted at the top. It’s a couple of steps, but it’s possible\*. 🙂 I didn’t explain the method very well, but if you care, I’ll PM you instructions \*I just checked on GB. It took longer to write the crappy post above than it did to actually just DO it. 🙂 ---

Easier method: 1. Quote the post from another poster. 2. Copy the whole thing (including quote tags) to your clipboard. 3. Start a new thread. 4. Type your stuff. 5. Paste the post you’re quoting. Everyone can do that, and it’s clear that you’re responding to someone else, and that they’re not choosing to post in the new thread. Cleaner, probably easier :). ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > A “box” is a stupid idea. It’s basically the PIT. They can still continue their bad behaviour there. It actually works quite well. You permabox someone so they can only post in that forum and not spread their BS all over the board. Posters can opt to go in the box to engage with them if they like. And most of the time, someone who is permaboxed elects to leave on their own because it’s no fun being stuck in there and rambling to a handful of posters. It’s a win-win.
