This is a good topic, and doesn't need to die

explosions-in-my-pants

wether or not you think i know the whole story or not doesn't matter. i had good points going about you and her. and what makes sense what doesn't. and we all get what your saying that they shouldn't be so lite with her, and she should be still banned and or get banned again. i understand that. but what i'm saying now is clearly the mods agree that she can stay, and for some reason agree that you can stay also *thinks mods are crazy* so just let it go for now, if your so sure she's doing nothing good here, then its only a matter of time before the mods find another reason to rid of her.. so i think your just wasting all of our times and your own.

regardless, she discussed it with a mod instead of just ignoring it like she owned the place..which is the impression i got from TGS attitude.


Patroh coming back insulted me (as a mod) by ignoring the warning i gave him and like Alejo stated, i only deal with bans that I give out, i gave TGS a ban, he ignored it, so I stuck to the deal by banning his IP.
And bill, everyone does have the option of talking to a mod to get a ban lifted, Its been done before, Hoffa isnt the one and only.

I will say it again..99% of bans are up to the discretion of the mod that does the banning and therefore it is that mods decision whether or not to lift a ban. they are overturned so easily, a push of a button really..but convincing a mod that has banned you to unban you, may not be so easy..Hookers obviously didnt care about the ban enough to keep her banned.

Wasting your time? You don't have to reply here, if fact, I wish that you wouldn't. You have made no good points really. There are about 6 or 7 mods/admins. When all of them, and every member here who knows what is going on, agrees that madeinNY recieved no special treatment, and that this situation is fair, then I will quit. But this thread is just normal discussion, no attacking, no flaming, why is everyone so scared of that?

What convincing argument was there? From what I have gathered, all she did was say sorry. Is that good enough. Like I said, if it works for one, then it needs to be done for all. That is just special treatment towards her, and if she gets that treatment, then so should every other person that gets banned.

And had madeinNY not returned (and in doing so, insulted Hookers) she would have never had the chance to say sorry. She didn't comeback immediatly and tell the mods who she was. When it leaked who she was, it was then that she said her sorry to the mods

Correction: You think it's a good thread, everyone else just thinks you're whining over nothing.

If hookers was the mod that banned her, and hookers was ok with lifting the ban, then thats that. nothing really more needs to be discussed. I would of banned her IP, im pretty sure alejo would of done the same, but it was up to hookers, and he must of been in a good mood..good enough to let her stick around and give her another chance. If she gets banned again, the next mod might not be to forgiving..its not special treatment or favoring anyone over anybody else its just that mods choice.

Then why do I have 70 replies. Crappy threads die out.

And to Fenix: Fair enough

i dont think there was much of an argument to begin with, i just think bill wasnt really sure how the mods work. at first glance it does seem unfair for certain banned members, so i understand the concern, but you could of simply asked us how we do things before starting a MB Mod Conspiracy thread.

Haha, this isn't at all a "mod conspiracy thread"
I just think the fact that madeinNY wasn't banned was unfair.

But i understand that other mods would have handled things differently

hookers with machineguns

I banned Hoffa b/c people were flooding me with PMs to get rid of her. But after good dialogue with her "mom", and other members I banned unfairly (like Fal or Emochick), I realized at a certain point that people are just trying to have fun here. Hoffa never broke any rules. "maturity" and "contribution" aren't in the rules. "Spam" is subjective and vague. At least from what I can see, she isn't insulting anyone or excessively whoring herself in threads.

Ban times are subject to change. Misfitspunk was permanently banned, but brought back after good dialogue with the mods. That's all it really takes. I'm sure if Golden String were to approach Fenix, that could happen. Fenix is a laid back guy, if he banned GS, I'm assuming it was for good reason. Also, I only recall banning her for six months, and ask Lex or her mom, I told her that would not hold for the duration.

But seriously now, I'm not a mod anymore. I made mistakes, you make mistakes, we all make mistakes. Let's move on please.
