He came into chat last night and said something about inadvertently posting a link that led one to porn pop-ups. If the mods did in fact ban him over that, it’s likely they nixed the link as well, so you probably won’t find that.
jeez… that seems a little thing to be banned over, if he actually told himself out so it could be corrected…
wait, i think i remember that. i can’t remember the thread title, but i think he was using the links to a porn site to compare a “cute” melissa joan hart with a “generic hot blonde” melissa joan hart somewhere in MPSIMS…
Well, if that’s the case, and of course we don’t know all the facts, I hope he can eventually convince the Staff to give him another chance. He seemed like a decent guy.
John Corrado closed a similar question and linked to this one at 7:20 am.
So it boils down to…when or if the folks feel a reason for the banning is called for.
He mailed me about the reason, and admitted freely he was at fault. He did not have a sock, he posted an objectionable link in a thread, like Max Torque said. He seems remorseful about it, and as far as I can tell hopes to do whatever is required for readmission to come back to us.
If he hasn’t regained posting privileges already, he will soon. He apologized, and promised to TRY not to do it again. We staff members talked it over and decided that he’s generally been pretty good, so he’s gonna get back with us soon.
A few things helped him here: He’s generally been a good poster, he apologized and admitted that he shouldn’t have done that, and he didn’t write us a nasty letter, but a polite one.
I’ve seen the link in question, and YES, you don’t want to open that sucker at work. It has sound, for one thing…
LOL!!!
Does anyone out the have any embarrasing stories of opening the link? As a married man who surfs at home, I’m happy as hell I missed that thread.
IMHO…
This is just another example of the mods doing a great job.
mayhap you could join us at one of the straight dope group Counterstrike games. i noticed that you mentioned something about CS right before you got locked right there.
Then, the next time someone posts something about “Why did ____ get banned?”, and the inevitable squad show up and says , “yeah! Those stupid overreacting MODS. They suck. They ban people for such arbitrary things. etcetera, etcetera, etcetera” you can post a link to this thread.
red_dragon60 never violated the prime directive=“don’t be a jerk.”
If a 16 year old can understand it, why the *uck can’t all these other oldsters??
