So if somebody strictly used emoticons to voice their disagreement with something on this board (middle fingers [doesn't that still mean fuck you?], stfu, steaming pile of doo doo), is that okay versus actually typing it?

Really curious.

As the rules state:

I am not sure about official Emocon rules

If Ben added the emocon to the use list - it is hard for me to see how we can punish someone for using what the owner of the sight listed as something for everyones use


I know it may be the intention behind the use - but still ... Ben has them there for all to use

Wow.

June7 said:

Yeah, obviously. I guess my underliying question is why.

GNS said:

Nothing, huh? OK

Don't substitute. I got a strike for just a .

And it wasn't to me.

noimageatall said:

I got stricken when I did AND didn't substitute.

Without notice.

I can't even get a fucking response.

Oh well. I'll just keep on speaking my mind.

LOVE your signature, by the way.

GNS said:

Thanks...



I've heard a few tell me lately that they cannot seem to get a response from any mods. I thought I read recently that they always, always let a person know why, when, what, & where. So, I don't know what's going on, GNS.

noimageatall said:

Meh.

I guess it's like somebody said on the "banned" thread that got locked on this board; you have to he part of a clique the mods like.



Thanks for the heads up tho'. Peace, G

My problem is that people hide behind them. It can be such a veiled slam and easily gotten away with.

Then its all a "its was just a " , I was only kidding shit when they get called out.

So, if someone ELSE in another post says something that may or may not be considered bait, and your entire post later is just a ...that deserves a strike? When you see others do worse all the time? Um--ok

But, it's ok. That's why I said DO NOT DO IT! Don't , don't , don't , don't ...just don't.

noimageatall said:

Oh I don't give a shit whats a strike or not all I'm saying is that that lil smile face and nod is only used to deflect from what the poster really means.

GNS said:

Are you saying you were issued a "Strike" (?) -

The only way you would know that is if you were issued an official strike

Orgers do not have access to the Mod portal and would not be able to know that they are given a strike without the notice that comes when we issue one.

lazycrockett said:

Yup. As if to soften the blow of some foul shit they just wrote.

Mach said:

Ok. I might be using the wrong term. I meant to say I was put on ice for a week for responding to several flames against me. Even my signature got suspended, and when I asked why; nothing.

Strike may have been the wrong term.

GNS said:

Who did you ask? Was it by orgnote or by e-mail?

Mars23 said:

I believe it was you, seeing as you're the who locked my account.

GNS said:

But if you were able to ask by orgnote then you weren't banned... or did you ask after the ban had expired?

As for not being notified, it's happened to a lot of people but according to the mods it's impossible. Don't expect an answer beyond that.

GNS said:

That seems to be a bit of a quandary. You received no notification, yet know who locked your account, and I have no communication back either by orgnote or e-mail.

If you want to orgnote me now I can discuss it with you.

noimageatall said:

[checks watch] Yep...10 days later, I'm STILL waiting for my email telling me!

Mars23 said:

It doesn't add up, does it?

Mars23 said:

A quandary indeed when you consider after I asked about my signature, my editing capabilities were restored.

Let me be clear, because it seems y'all are getting caught up in the semantics of the terminology.

I was locked out of my account without a WARNING after defending myself against other comments. After that expired, I logged in and noticed my signature editing capablities were disabled. When I asked why this was, I received no response. Yet shortly thereafter, the ability was restored. Got it?

And what purpose would an org note serve that writing right here (even though we've gotten waaay off topic), couldn't.

GNS said:

Well, personal problems need to be resolved in private.

Teacher said:

Should I be taking this personal?

Teacher said:

Exactly.
