why are so many people banned from eoeo and eotw? i came to realize this when i saw cloud no. 9, a regular poster in both forums, banned too. hell, i know why was i banned and i think i know why ed is banned too (it was hilarious, btw). so, are we really getting THAT naughty or are the mods setting the bar too low *looks at top banner leeza*?
We've seen a lot of debates degrade into flame wars, meaning we have to crack down even harder. Zero tolerance means zero tolerance.
i missed flame wars??? man, its been the longest two weeks ever!
"Flame wars" may have been bad wording on my part, but threads in there tend to end up just people flinging personal insults. We try and pre-empt that.
Thus another reason to post only once a day, and never in the same thread on EoEO and EotW, I want to keep my User note posting priveledges ;)
Discription for EoEO:
Discuss important topics, get some things off your chest, and help others with their problems. A zero tolerance policy towards flaming and spam are in effect in this forum...
It has been starting to get a little lax in there and members were beginning to take advantage of this fact.
Well good job Cid's Knights (and I mean that nonsarcastically).
But yeah, there's alot of people banned from EoEO at the moment...more than I've ever seen actually. It's pretty funny when you look in General Chat threads and like three post in a row by three different people have "No Eyes on Each Other for Me" under the username. :D
"that" time of month
Must be mating season.
How you been spreaded by the love?
There's something in the water.
Think of it as a secondary custom title! Except not custom.

I blame EotW. Politics brings out the worst in people.
Other parcels banned from EoFF included bomb-shaped ones like this:

The only thing I don't like about it is that they have that title. I hate the title. I don't see why the entire world needs to know about it.
I suppose I could bring it up but nah.
Yeah screw America!Quote:

If I come across a serious problem, or and isssue I would like taken seriously, I may use EoEo. Since I don't flame, I would expect the same curousy in return. I am just glad that the knights are enforcing the rule; as I think it is a veluable one.
Some times meat puppets spam can be insightful though ;)

Being banned from EoEO and EotW really isn't that bad, it's the fact that you aren't able to post in Usernotes for the duration that prevents me from flaming some of you...
Speak for yourself! Not being able to make fun of the beliefs of others is killing me!
At least its affective then. Makes me sleep better at night :)
Bipper
I'd go and get myself an EoEO ban just to fit in but it means you can't post user notes. :(
Yeah, why the hell can't you post user notes when you're banned from there?
C mon Psy, we got candy...
Me, in a PM to another person who was asking about similar things:Quote:

I aint going to do it, I luff my prreciousss user notes.
thats a good question though. Why arent you allowed to post in usernotes with these bans? I don't see the point, and I'm going out of this thread before random picture posts that are put towards me are posted.
Well if you think about it... you get banned for flaming someone in a zero tolerance area - you shouldn't have the right to send em usernotes flaming them even more as far as others can see. Bob's respons seems very logical.
Bipper
Some people didn't get banned for flaming. Some people didn't flame at all. *cough*

No idea what/if there are anyother EoEo-bannible actions besides flaming/spam; but the rule seems to be a good one that punishes, and prevents imidiate violations. It seems if they wanted to be extra cautious to avoid immidiate (caused by temper etc) repeats - they would ban PM's as well :)
Be gratful for what you got.

i didn't flame ;_____;Quote:

It is used purely as a deterrent for breaking the rules. See BoB's post for more details.
There have been a lot more Eoeo bans because people seem to be forgetting the much sticter atmosphere that we would like to convey in those forums. It is not really that hard to not spam or insult people, is it?
If you wish to discuss specific bans please do so via pm.

I was banned for a single post that was barely even flaming, the person who banned me even agreed with what I'd said, but then it'd be double-standards if I hadn't been banned and the person I was rather fairly directing it had, so it's a worthy sacrifice.
Heck, I don't even look at or post in those forums most of the time anyway.

And besides, all I was doing was making a statement of annoyance at people turning every thread into a "lolz aemrixa is teh sux" thread.
why was i banned by the way?
I think my jokes don't go down well in EOEO i.e
"my baby just died!"
"oh we'll look on the brightside, cheap coffin."
P.s Usernotes??????????
I got a warning and at first I was like WTF OMFG. but then I was like yeah I had it coming to me.
So I deserved the warning.
i didn't get a warningQuote:

I hate these stupid bans
But I think that EOFF do actions first and questions later which is bad......

I think the amount of instigators in EoTW and EoEo have increased too. Or at least the few instigators have been worst. Some threads are peaceful in EoTW, then people start up arguments. :(
I'd like to imagine most people are getting off light with these silly bans. If not for these extra user groups, the lot of you might just be under banned.
Yes, you do. The threads in Staff are never pruned.Quote:

Usually, depending on the severity, etc. But it's case by case in a lot of cases...obviously.
I got some reading to do then.Quote:

As far as EoEO bans go, you eventually just get to have a permanent one.
If you continue to act up in the Eyes on forums you are also setting yourself up for a permanent ban. I would say any person who gets a permanent eoeo ban has one more chance left and then they are gone for good from the entire board.
So now did you hide the forums from people who are banned or does that mean we've got perma-bans now?
What? As far as I know they should always have been hidden from EoEO banned people. It would kind of defeat the purpose of banning them from a forum if they could still see the forum.
No, we could see them in the forum list but they were locked and we couldn't go in. Now they've just gone altogether.
yeah, what happened to the forums?
They're back to where they should have been. Away from EoEO Banned eyes.
Well, just so it's clear, that's false. We actually have very lengthy discussions about what actions we take.Quote:

Yes, but it's not spam based on hatred and highly opinionated views.
*whipcrack*
its the "in" thing lol.I was doing it before it became cool!!! blast you lol jking.Quote:

:up: :)
was i the one that pointed that out? i was still able to warn which was funny for a while. and that period when bob was trying to be funny when i could access it fully so i guess everyone else could.
and mark my words i shall have my "what's good about communism?(for a change)" thread and i expect anyone that says anything negative about communism or whatever else i make the thread about to be treated in the same way i was. that would only be fair.
you saw that one coming right?
YEAH I CAN POST AGAIN!!!!
I respect the mods' rights to control content on the site but next time don't be #**@ about it.
Face it, buddy. Communism sucks. It and freedom, prosperity, and more are mutually exclusive. You probably didn't get banned on commenting negatively about something (well, depending on who banned you, and what kind of mood they were in), because the entire forum is negative comments on subjects. It's (usually) when those negative comments are directed at people (alive or dead, deserving or undeserving) that the mods take action. In theory, anyway -- anybody else paying attention would have spotted dozens of offenses that were left unpunished, and some that were unfairly punished. But I guess recently, when everybody's getting banned, they're "cracking down" more, so it MIGHT be a little more balanced. Wouldn't take much, though.Quote:

Good job Knight's, I will honestly try not to do anything wrong.
Can I have a political discussion in Gen Chat then? Just out of curiosity. Even if any semi serious posts are mixed with spam posts and stuff. (Actually I might prefer that.)
Please god, no. Seriously, people avoid that forum for a reason, don't want any of it spilling out into GC.Quote:

This ban though was well worth it and I knew it was coming. I like how I got banned for spamming up a spammy topic though :D When I made that post Sephex was like 'You are so going to get banned for this!" and I was like "Probably *post*" then when I got banned we laughed and viewed the thread and everything under his name. It was so smurfing funny.
people read that?Quote:

Wait, at least let me go in there and flame you first ;_;
That guide was a bit of a letdown. It simply couldn't compare to his previous works, like ATTENTION: Dr Unne's Guide to Bee-Keeping or URGENT: Dr Unne's Guide to the Flora and Fauna of the Galapagos Islands but still a good read nonetheless. I give it three thumbs up. :thumb: :up: :up:Quote:
