mushrat Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Since ASU has decided to ignore the Code of Conduct, the reminder about the code of conduct, and warnings from an Admin. and since his last few posts have not only been unhelpful but unpleasant in ways we don't put up with around here, because we don't have to, ASU will be taking a weekend break... We'll be seeing his postings again starting monday. If he continues to be unnecessarily unpleasant, he will be invited to find someplace else to post.

yashman19 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 It really isn't that difficult to post here and avoid problems, just not sure why some people can't get it. I really hope he doesn't have a problem adjusting when he returns. We obvisouly don't hold grudges, so as long as he can be plesant upon his return, then this will be completely in the past.

Tobes Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 good call, I think he will appreciate your courteesy by letting him back on the forum, however his comments were just jokkinly jests at the other members about the funnel bowl, i know him in person and he is a good guy who dosent mean much justlikes to joke around alot.i know some members have been have been pretty pissed off with my recent comments however i mean t nothing by them, nmostly just jokking, but i think some was lost in translation, so lets all enjoy hookah.

I'm not sure he's being mean about it. I think the mod's do need to let poeple know why members are getting out of hand and why he is being suspended from posting for a few days.

yashman19 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 The reason we announce a ban is to keep the rest of the forum informed. Many forums simply ban people without warning, and can cause a bit of confusion. We try not to keep people in the dark about these things in an attempt to prevent such incident from happening in the future. I know it sort of seems like we're lashing people in the town square, but that is not our intention. QUOTE (Tobes)hey mush its ASUSEAN.

Once again i am sorry and i hope noone took anything i said offensivly Well it was a combination of that and your other comments on asking where the other member lived? The posts are gone so I can't get a direct quote, but you said something along the lines of "Where the fuck do you live when its 4pm here..." Or something along those lines, but 'fuck' included... Was that really necessary? Obviously there are people from different countries who frequent this board, and of course times will vary. Why was this a concern? In the future it would be best to try and stay on the original topic. Going off topic is when people tend to slip and get in trouble. Like I said, there really isn't any grudge that will be held against you ASUSean. Hopefully you can tweak your posting style a bit when you come back and this will all be in the past, no hard feelings. I'm sorry if you feel like we're making examples out of you, but in a way, we are. This forum is rapidly growing, and we need people to know the basic forum ettiquette. Keep the profanity/hate towards others out, blatent advertising is a no-no, and thats about it. Those are the two biggies atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 ASUSEAN: yea i was just wondering where he lives. I didnt mean any offense by my language. I was just surprised by the distance. Once again, I am sorry for my language and hope to talk to you guys soon. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the word fuck adds a little pizzaz to a sentence Yeah 'fuck' gets tossed around quite a bit now-a-days, so I didn't really expect you were that distraught, but thanks for letting us know Just so people know, this isn't really a trial where people can fight for or against ASUSean. He feels that what he said wasn't meant to be destructive and I believe him, and he also apologized regardless which is very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 The problem is an overall attitude, rather than a single post. This forum is MOSTLY adults, so there can be a certain amount of fun, back and forth, give and take. That give and take is still respectful, while beingg insulting/cutting/down right mean... ASU: if you had been contributing anything useful in your posts, they MIGHT have been seen differently. But you were posting JUST to be insulting. And we have some very strict rules about the ol' 420. So the strong possibility that you were stoned while posting that series of messeges doesn't help your case in my eyes. I'm old, but it did go to college. As for cursing, again, we're adults and certain words make language more colourful and express strong emotions when no other word will get the idea accross. Cursing definitly has a time and place, as a word to put in when you can't think of anything else..not so much. So, Sean, in your case, it was no shit sherlock, followed by where the fuck you live, followed but its 420 here, followed by mouthing off to Yashman when he asked you to watch it, followed by not folloing the Code of Conduct, which covers this VERY situation, plus the fact that none of what you posted actually contributed to a very interesting post by a member, derailing his topic, and disrespecting HIM in the process that earned you the short vacation. Your appology through Tobs has in turn earned you a 1 day lessening of your sentence, to merely 24 hours. Just be cool man, show some respect, and remember, people are watching, and I don't mean those of us you SEE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 and darth: don't we go through this every time we announce a suspension? Yes we are going to post it for 2 reasons. 1)So the person knows why they can't log into their account. Instead of thinking something is busted. We can't send them a PM, they can't get it. 2)So the person knows WHY they have been suspended, and hopefully to act as a deterrent to others who think the Admins. arent serious when we say follow the VERY simple rules and be respectful.

mushrat Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 I'm locking this part so that we can put it behind us. The conversation that has evolved from this htread I have split off so it can continue without keeping the rest of this thread active and at the top. Welcome back ASU.
