We can start a coryallen2 nostalgia thread; a "greatest hits" (or misses) collection, if you will.

:rofl:

I dunno though, this whole thing is being elevated a bit too much. I mean, I'm all for getting rid of the stupidity but we're turning this kid into a legend.
He's becoming a punch-line around here, and I don't even think he deserves an embarrassing legacy, much less any kind of legacy at all. We're e-mmortalizing him.
Honestly, someone just get rid of him and let's move on.
Sitting here discussing it is no different than sitting here reading his posts.

I agree. Couldn't say it better.

Perma-n00bs make the world go round'.

That only applies if the world is insecure.

Somebody's gotta' make me feel better about myself. Ya' don't expect me to go spoutin' off daily affirmations do you?

Not unless that works for ya.
;)

Is he banned again? I voted no, I don't think we have the right to determine someone's opinion invalid, no matter how counter-productive it may seem. I think that goes against the basic principles of this site. But that's just me.

Gosh, this is more riveting than the portishead vs. Hendrix poll.

I'm from the same focking city as correyallen and I voted to ban him. He contributes nothing musically and is just plain annoying. WendyCal was at least good for the lulz... I can't even say that for CA

I voted no. I don't see the justification of it. His posts are what they are, and as much as you may hate to admit he did contribute quite a bit in a weird way.

I voted no, but only because every reply to his post will then be pointless. I mean, there must be like 10 serious replies out there which will then lose meaning.

The thing about coryallen is that he's got all the right stuff at heart. He really wanted to become a mod so that he could fight spam (oh the irony) and he's always interested in MB's best, he just doesn't know what it actually is or how to go about it. Because of this, he's gotten way-way-way more chances than anyone else here. However, I agree a permaban is what will be best for the site. Many of us mods have tried, patiently sending him PMs cutting deals with him, explaining him how to edit or multi-quote, pleading him to shape up or try to scare him into behaving. So far, there's been a tiny bit of progress, but not enough to save him. He's still treating the boards like a chat-room, often making one-word posts and derailing threads with nonsense. He never learned not to be a pain in the ass.

.. Ugh, now I actually regret voting no :(

*changes no to yes*

So maybe we're e-mmortalizing him. Let's do it proper and make an example then.

This poll is about as ridiculous as anything Cory ever made.

this thread is sad. If he hasn't been ip banned yet you might as well just let him stay. And lock this thread.

I say delete his posts ASAP, and ban him.

But only if you promise to NEVER get rid of RockGuitar101's posts, because that guy was absolute comedy genius.

The fact that both Darkest Hour and Mirrorball have posted in this thread made me lol. Mainly becuase they're lucky that coryallen has been around to divert attention from their useless posts.

Sorry I forgot were all inferior to you because of your tediously boring 1001 Album review threadzzzzzzzz. I also agree that banning him wont make a difference as there will always be people like him cutting about forum sites.

surprisingly enough, it's comments like these that make us think you're a knobjob.

Think what you like man, he asked for it.

Who doesn't like knobjobs?

Seriously I'm beginning to sense alot of hate in the musicbanter communtity. Can't we all just get along?

And ignore coryallen?

This.

Yeah I have been thinking this myself but I think its only natural, suppose it would be boring if everybody had the same opinions etc etc. As for CoryAllen, I am willing to accept him the same way I am willing to accept any other member on this forum, although you may argue some of my comments contradict this statement...
Also I take this comment back, I dont want to be drawn into silly wee rivalries with other members. Like the other guy said, cant we all just at least try and get along?

First off I have'nt done anything extremly out of picture. Every forum has an idiot. I'm really not that bad. Actually the way you guys are makign the forum look bad is doing this stuff to members. They will see this and say "wow if I post a pointless thread in the lounge they will try to delete all of my posts." You guys can try to delete all of my posts but what teh hell is that going to do? It is'nt going to make me think anything diffrent? I've been banned twice now. I'm on my third strike and now I am watching my posts and seeing that you guys are serious. And to people who don't like me, shut the hell up. Don't waste your time then.

You guys degrade me and everything on here but you still have to mention about the few posts I have made on here that are bad. You guys make fun of me and stuff and expect my posts to come back really great and everything. I don't start the worthless conversations. I liek to talk so if I see a conversation I put my 2 cents in. Yea it may be bad at times but the way I am being portrayed is very inaccurate. I'm not this bad guy of Muisicbanter. I'm a new user that hasent yet fell in the right way.



I agree'd to guidance but you dumped me oput on the road when my little brother posted. You guys can say what you want but that user was my brother. You gys always think of the negatives and bash me around. Then I have to look at thread like this.



Think of things from my end. I have been banned and when I get unbanned I see nothing but the users and mods poking fun at my banning and bringing up older things. I am a real person and threads liek this do really hurt my feelings. I have been disrespected on this site a great deal. A few pointless post are to much to ask?


It also occurs to me in this thread alot of people are **** riding the mods. Do you guys hate me because I speak my mind or something?

Cory, for a long time, you've been the one member here that requires the most amount of moderation. I had a busy day on the forum the day you got back from being banned. Regular members here won't really know how much work you create because they can't read all the PMs and see the deleted threads and posts. You can't understand how much work you cause because if you did, you wouldn't cause it in the first place.

By getting defensive and making the problem seem smaller than it is, you're really only showing that you don't understand how you and your posting habits affect this place. If there's anything you can do to redeem yourself, it's to take some responsibility and see the problems that we've been complaining about for months now.

We know you're a good guy, that's why you're still here .. but I think we're all past the point where we're just gonna be nice to you and hope you shape up because we've all tried it and it never worked. The only thing that's worked has been infractions and the threat of bans.

But posting threads about me is right? That is just wrong Tore and you know it. What kind of message do you think members making fun of me and mods making threads poking fun sends? I don't make posts to annoy you guys.

On the note of deleting my posts. You should not have any say in this. It's my opinion. Everyone is intitled to their own opinion and on musicbanter it seems I am not.




And tore I have been trying to redeem myself. What about the bargin me and you amde? I'm not double posting anymore. Give me time. There is more hate in this community then peopel that want to help me. This poll is rubbish btw. Nobody is going to look at the point. Your going to have meat heads that see my username and vote yes.

Even if making threads about you is not ideal, it's the result of a chain of cause and consequence brought on by your behaviour on the forum. You don't see Urban making threads about everyone on here. Wether or not this thread exists or not, it doesn't change the fact that you do require a lot of moderation either. This thread is not the problem.

As for other members making fun of you, we can't fully protect you against that either. Again, it's cause and consequence.

If you think you're entitled to post here, you're incorrect. Posting on musicbanter is a privilege, not a right. Just read the rules.

I never said posting on musicbanter was my right. What my rights are is to get a little respect from people. you guys have blown this whole ordeal out of porportion.

How about this:

Instead of deleting all of his posts or banning him, why not enable an "ignore" option for people who really don't want to see his posts on the boards. That way, those who don't mind will still see him around, and he can use the boards the way we all have a right to.

just a suggestion.

Alrighty then toretor bye bye sexual experiences thread.


• We also do not allow posts that are sexual in nature, or violate the MusicBanter community standards.



Bye bye this thread

• While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks, or purposeless inflammatory posts.


This is what I have to work on

• Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) nonsense posts, or the like.

Thanks Roy

Valid points Cory, but don't forget this bit : "The MusicBanter moderating team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards."

I'm probably more in favour for just blindly enforcing rules than other mods and members on this forum, but still, the point of having rules here is to create an environment that promotes positive contributions to the forum while discouraging negative ones. Mods generally won't get upset with posts that are positive contributions to the forum, even if they are sexual in nature. As for changes to the forum, I agree - an ignore function would be good and I'm surprised I haven't seen one. However, adding new functionality to the forum is not always straightforward. We might bring it up with Yac.

All things don't have to be delt with by violence.

The ignore list in our User CP? Or am I missing something.

Haha, there it is :laughing:

Mods obviously can't ignore people they're supposed to moderate, so I'll admit I never really searched for it before.

I hate to say it but I kind of agree. I don't think we should have MB Nazi's trying to create some sort of elitist society. I think the discarding of a member like coryallen2 would go against basic ethics. The kid obviously needs to feel a part of something. I feel like he had tried very hard to fit in here. With a little guidance I think could end up being a semi-productive member someday. I don't think sending him to the E-Gas Chamber is the proper solution.

We already have that feature. Under your User CP go to "Edit Ignore List" and you can enter in the name of whoever you want to ignore.

A little guidance?

He's had guidance from virtually every mod in this place for the last 4 months. And he's chosen to ignore it all.

The reason this thread was created was so that he realises just how many complaints the mod team get about this him, Even the most patient & understanding members of the forum regularly send us messages asking 'how long till this guy gets banned' . We're not trying to be Nazi's , if we were we would have got rid of him ages ago.

This isn't about elitism , this is about approx 2 thirds of the regular members of the forum wanting something done about his spam.

I don't want to ban him or delete his posts, I just want to go into a thread & not have to wade through hundreds of stupid comments from him & then after that all the comments from other people complaining about his posts.

He's on a final warning , he's on his third strike.

And what's the first thing he does when he get's back?

He starts a bunch of pointless threads & then goes on to spam loads of other threads with stupid posts.

The kid seriously has a problem taking in instructions and his time is running out. the only aim of this thread was to make him realise just how close to going he is.

Off topic, but why do you space your commas? (sorry, little things bother me :/ )

colloquial pronunciation, they pause before and after the comma.

Dramatic effect

My point is: if you don't want to see any more posts from him, put him on your ignore list. That way he can post as many things as he wants without sensitive members getting offended by it.

Everybody wins.
