Is there a rule that we can’t Pit a YouTube video bashing my SD posts?
No. But if someone bashes this Pit thread on YouTube you have to resort to a blog, then wait for someone to bash the blog, which you can then start another Pit thread about. It doesn’t make much sense, but most of the rules don’t.
I must say, I am still slightly unclear on why exactly you are pitting his video. Care to describe what exactly is in that video that you are complaining about?
As long as I can “like,” “digg,” and “
” the whole debacle… I’m cool with it.
I’m not complaining so much as pointing and laughing at some bong fart on the Internet.
This meme came to mind when I watched that video.
Apparently not. I had the idea somehow that pitting banned users, and bringing “off board” drama (I’m using that word loosely) here was against the rules. But now looking at the rules, I don’t see anything about that, and this thread’s still open.
In any case, if you have some response to that video, it would seem more appropriate to respond in the video comments or message him directly on Youtube, rather starting a pit thread here where he’s too banned to defend himself.
Oh, I did respond in his comments. And, concerning his bannination, I was going to start a thread in ATMB to ask the Mods if, indeed, he and his fiancée were banned in error (and if so, to reinstate their posting privileges).
It’s only fair.
All that said, I simply found this amusing — someone got the YouTube in my SDMB, a I got my SDMB in someone’s YouTube. And it’s delicious! Besides, where’s the fun in not sharing? Actually, if you read through the original thread, I was hardly the only one poking him with sticks. Not sure why he singled me out. Must’ve been the goat comment?
Ugh. This place gets on my nerves sometimes.
I ran across the dude’s video several weeks ago. He had no comments, but I added one. My comment was that he should email the mods and explain his situation. Perhaps they would unban him.
I liked his thread.
I liked that thread too. Not necessarily because I was picking on him, but I like the harmless weirdos.
Indeed, I just created a thread to appeal his and tink222’s banning.
But he wasn’t entirely wrong. It is entirely plausible that he and his SO were banned unjustly. When he was talking about this place being “ignorant”, he wasn’t really referring to your responses in the thread as much as how he was unjustly banned. That unfair banning is what he’s calling ignorant, I think. In his video title it does say, “…and It’s Moderators of Ignorance,” (incorrect use of “it’s”, but whatever) so I think he’s calling his banning ignorant on the moderators’ part.
I saw your ATMB thread; why is it locked?
Agreed.
At about 3:45 he says he emailed about the banning.
Yeah. I just went to his page and I can see where he responded to my comment…says he emailed and heard nothing back. I missed that in the video.
While I don’t necessarily disagree he was a total nut job, he’ll remain banned because it was almost a year ago and he’s a nut and he ostensibly wouldn’t have lasted long here:
As far as his comments in the video, he calls me out several times in addition to his complaint about being banned. Seems he came to the conclusion I was the one who got him banned. ::shrug::
He didn’t sound at all to me like he blamed you for the banning. He very clearly blames the *mods *for the banning. He just thought *you *were an ass, in general.
Marley’s comment makes no sense. He knocks the guy for posting this a year after the fact…that’s incorrect. The dude posted that video a year ago. Then he knocks the guy for not emailing the mods about it. The guy maintains that he **did **email the mods.
Then he predicts the guy wouldn’t have lasted long. Based on that video and thread? Ok, maybe he wouldn’t have, but how about the mods not just assume that. It’s nice when new posters come around and when they are different or eccentric or whatever, that is extra fun. We don’t have to be so hasty with the ban hammer.
+1
And for the record, in my opinion, shadowofneo wasn’t that bad of a poster anyway. What rules was he exactly violating? As he says, he was just posting about some theories he came up with. Sure, he could have done better in being more open to criticism, but that doesn’t justify saying “he wouldn’t have lasted long”.
Because the guy’s a nut and he’s not coming back regardless. I was saying he’d almost surely have been banned before long in any event.
I didn’t knock him for making a video a year later. I said the banning was almost a year ago, so it’s kind of late to revisit all of this based on the thread cmyk just started. And if shadowofneo ever emailed the mods, I never saw it. I know the staff never discussed it. So it either didn’t go through and he didn’t follow up, or his request was dismissed out of hand.
And the Pit is not the place to discuss this stuff.
But… I miss shadowofneo…
You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also irrelevant.Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here. I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version. As you are undoubtedly gathering, the anomaly’s systemic, creating fluctuations in even the most simplistic equations.

I respect your decision to maintain the ban (it’s ten months after anyways and I don’t think shadowofneo really gives a shit anymore).
But there is still another question left unanswered. You say that even if he emailed a moderator, it doesn’t matter because he would have been banned shortly after anyways. But how can you assume that? Like I said, sure his posts may be a little different and could be a little more open to criticism, but all he’s really doing is discussing a theory he’s come up with. So I am not sure what rules he’s exactly violating or what is in his posts in that thread that cause you to make this assumption that he would have gotten banned in a little while anyway.
