I doubt we disagree on as much as you think. But this is the internet and if I’m a bigendian and your a lilliputian, we go to war even if we both like eggs.

In fifteen minutes I found eight warnings, of which one was reversed, and many modnotes (some exceedingly lenient).

Damuri Ajashi and FinnAgain , bith of you are getting way too personal in the preceding exchanges.
Damuri Ajashi, your particular comments
are much too close to being explicit violations of board policy.
Both of you, dial it back and knock it off.

Damuri Ajashi, it is forbidden on the SDMB to mangle other posters’ quotes (particularly within the vB quote boxes):
[ QUOTE]
tags is sacrosanct. Normal editorial rules apply: that is, you may indicate omitted portions of a quote by the use of ellipses “…” and you may add text to clarify a word using square brackets (e.g., “her [the sister’s] friend”), but you may **not ** add editorial comments or edit a quote so as to change the substantive meaning; nor may you substitute text such as “some blather” or “more nonsense” inside the

Do not do this again.

Warning
Damuri Ajashi , that’s more than enough personal commentary about FinnAgain . This is a formal warning: when you’re posting in Great Debates, attack the post, not the poster.
Finn Again is a stalwart defender of Israel and he has convinced himself that all his arguments are rational and that anything that conflicts with his position is based on irrationality, ignorance, or anti-semitism.
Don’t let it bother you his method of argument is only effective at getting people to stop arguing with him, its not so effective at getting people to agree with him.

You’re not allowed to say another poster is lying in this forum, and as I’ve had to note several times, personal insults aren’t allowed here. I’m giving warnings to Damuri Ajashi and Commissar , and everybody else needs to tone it down now.

Then I would strongly suggest that you refrain from making comments about the personalities or intelligence of other posters.
You have not yet crossed a bright line rule violation, (although if the lines were hot, your toes would be singed), but a cumulative effect of inserting the word “stupid” and its synonyms into too many posts is to rile up the Mods.
Damuri Ajashi , that goes for you, as well. And since I seem to recall each/both of you receiving a similar admonition from another Mod in the last day or so, I am putting you both on notice that you are about to start collecting Warnings if you continue.

Damuri Ajashi , you’re lucky to get off with another note rather than a warning here. You don’t have to like Ibn Warraq or agree with anything he says, but you do have to remain civil while talking to (or about) him and not respond to any perceived provocation. This is the last time you’ll be reminded about this.

No one has made that argument.
That is a straw man, bordering on dishonest, and has now moved into the realm of trolling, being posted solely to get a rise out of other posters.
Stop it.

Reversal
Tom and I have spent some time discussing it and he agrees that he was not clear in his guidance. Because of that, I am reversing the warning for Damuri Ajashi.
This does not mean that we wish posters to consider ‘I didn’t understand it so it shouldn’t count’ as an overall viable approach to getting around moderation. Such has a low probability of having a positive outcome and I’d advise against it.

Your method of argument is so fucking ridiculous its making me fart.
here let me try your method of argument: Anyhow you’re wrong about so much stuff and even when you try to rebutt things that I say, you still manage to prove that the ignorant can never really stop being ignorant because they revel in their ignorance.
NO.
Given that Gigo was already Mod Noted for his behavior, your attempt to use his “method of argument” means that you are violating a Mod’s instructions.
So, if you do not want to incur a Warning, you will knock off this bullshit now.

Damuri, we’ve debated this internally for a day or so and I’m going to give you a warning for this one. While phrased carefully, it’s hard for me not to see this as a direct attack on MrDibble.
Please don’t do so again.

I am more than implying you are hypocritical. I am saying that the standards you apply to find discrimination against asians is significantly higher than the standard you apply to find discrimination against other groups.
What do you call a person who thinks that a low bar of evidence is sufficient to find racism against one group but requires a higher bar of evidence to establish racism against another group
Damuri Ajashi, just yesterday I told you via PM this was unacceptable. This is a second warning.
You are also banned from PE and GD for one month. You may return on 5/14/20. Violate those at risk of your posting privileges being revoked.

No, you did not get anything more than a mod note, but your behavior was absolutely NOT what we want to see in ATMB. Don’t be proud of yourself for not getting a warning, because you almost did, and in ATMB, that means you were really far off the rails from where you needed to be. If I didn’t think that underneath all of your crap there was an actual issue that the board needed to be resolved, you would have received a warning. You were that close.
I very strongly recommend that you not repeat that sort of behavior in ATMB.

Warning issued , Bumping an old thread to take it on a hijack with Rowling is a bit much. Do you actually return to the board to just stir up shit? That is the question I’ll be asking the modloop shortly.
Meanwhile, I think this thread can stay closed. It was apparently done before this bump & hijack move.

Wow, that’s an awful awful awful lot of “you should know better, do it one more time and it’s a warning.”
I think I’m coming around to the idea of moderator bias! Damuria appears to be getting darn near deferential treatment.
Are you advertising’s stuff about his account’s that isn’t possible to know’s?

I will say, in archived posts I’ve read, it seems Marley23 and JonathanChance did not suffer fools gladly, compared to say tomndebb and What_Exit who tend to be more lenient with modnotes. I’m not saying one way or another is better or worse, just something I’ve noticed.
On a related note, a very minor thing: I think this line
Do you actually return to the board to just stir up shit?
shouldn’t be posted outside of the Pit, (in moderator capacity), unless you have determined the member returned to the board to stir up shit and are warning him for that specifically. Reason being that when you post an insult or question good faith in official mod capacity, the member can’t defend themself in-thread or even in the Pit. So unless you’re taking official action for trolling I don’t think it’s appropriate to imply trolling with the modhat on.
Of course mods have the prerogative to say whatever they want whenever they want. If you’re banning someone and want to get the last word in I’d even say that’s reasonable.
~Max
Please note, I did mention with that comment I was bumping it up to the Modloop. We are still discussing this in fact. This was part of an action for trolling.
I stand by the question.

Noted, I’m saying IMO it should have been withheld until you make an actual determination. Not unlike parenting, I think it’s best to present a unified front when it comes to discipline.
~Max
It was with a warning. A warning based on prior bad behavior if you want to extend the analogy.
But I do get your point.
I’ll be honest, I won’t always follow it when I’m dealing with someone with prior suspensions though and a lot of problems.

Marley once shot me just for snoring too loud.
I’d say that banning the entire board makes “did not suffer fools gladly” quite the understatement.

shouldn’t be posted outside of the Pit, (in moderator capacity), unless you have determined the member returned to the board to stir up shit and are warning him for that specifically.
Why would you phrase it as a question if you have already made the determination?
That’s why we have this forum.
Glad to hear it’s still in the modloop. As y’all discuss, I hope you’re paying attention to the Clarence Thomas thread, where DA is Just Asking Questions like four times in a row, in a way that certainly looks like shit-stirring.
In short, a big money Republican donor has been inviting Thomas on swanky yacht and resort trips for free, and ethics rules require disclosure of these sorts of gifts.
What can be done about it? Probably nothing, unless John Roberts has any power (or, less likely, inclination) to do anything. Republicans in the Senate certainly won’t cooperate.
Members used to be able to defend themselves in the Pit but too many had been engaging in mod abuse so the defense got moved here.
Special thanks to @Max_S , I used your post to save myself a lot of time in the banning announcement.
User damuriajashi, formerly user damuri ajashi has become more trouble than he is worth.
His posting privileges have been discussed by the staff before this time.
He has served suspensions and never shown any signs of changing his behavior. Honestly he only lasted this long thanks to two factors:
He re-registered with the migration to Discourse and this made it easier to miss his prior long list of warnings.
He would come in get modnotes, warnings and even suspensions and then disappears for…
