Actually, jarbabyj, I haven’t seen anything to indicate that he was banned for posting a joke thread in the Pit…Lynn branded him a troll, she said nothing about the joke thread being out of place. The only mention of that in the original thread where the banning took place was by other people, and she made no reference to it when she decided he was unworthy.
Too much other modding to do?
And that’s why we all love you so much.
Lynn said, when closing the thread (emphasis mine):
How on earth do you interpret this statement to indicate he was “banned for posting a joke thread in the PIT?”
How often do people get banned for trolling in MPSIMS?
You know, we the staff have repeatedly requested that people ask us these sort of questions by email. Accordingly, I’m simply going to repeat what I said when I closed the thread. I think that UnCivil was trolling, that is, trying to stir up shit. I don’t care where he originally posted the thread, he was bound to know that banishing guns is a hotbutton topic.
Since this subject was opened on the message board, I don’t believe that I’ll answer any emails about it, except from UnCivil.
I may or may not do something similar when similar threads pop up. But I clearly banned UnCivil for trolling.
jarbabyj, next time you have a question like this, email a moderator or administrator. Don’t open a thread about it. You know better.
