When I get banned...
 
... I want my profile to express the fact that I have no regrets.



Why might I get banned? I dunno, but it may happen, so I want to be prepared by posting this thread with what I want.

I myself will personally make sure that your wishes are met. I will make your profile into a memorial to you. :don:

Ryojin March 20th, 2012 02:44 PM

Re: When I get banned...
 
Awesome!



What do you want your ban message to be?

I wouldn't ban you.. per se'

I would hope not, I don't think I've done anything that is against the rules here... It's a sort of just in case thing. I might need it some day.

you'd have to be a monumental douche-bag for me to ban you. Despite popular belief, I rarely ban anyone.

I like to toy with my prey, not kill it. *evil grin*

Ryojin March 20th, 2012 03:19 PM

Re: When I get banned...
 
Well... I'm glad that you're implying that I'm not a monumental douchebag. I've been accused of it before.

You've yet to reach the levels of splicer, my padawan.

Ryojin March 20th, 2012 03:53 PM

Re: When I get banned...
 
To be completely honest, I don't even really know who splicer is.

You should count yourself fortunate for that.

Although, I will say that he is much more mature nowadays. :nodding:

Lol, comparing Ryojin to Splicer is like comparing the bit of a cut on my finger to dismemberment. He's no where near as bad.

There are worse fates than a ban.

For example, it's a popular misconception that jeff&eddie has gone. But actually he was hired, and instead of being banned some users are restricted to posting on a private forum which only jeff&eddie can respond to. He is the only company they can ever have, for eternity.

I think y2ktm2 was consigned to this fate.

Ryojin March 21st, 2012 07:58 AM

Re: When I get banned...
 
That doesn't sound worse than a ban, honestly... At least there's someone to talk to there.

Giz March 21st, 2012 08:10 AM

Re: When I get banned...
 
Consider yourself lucky, I would have probably banned you already. :p
(if this was the past)

Giz March 21st, 2012 08:11 AM

Re: When I get banned...
 
But you wouldn't have known it either. You'd get timeouts and errors and you'd just think the forums were having technical issues. We used to have a fun stealth banning system in place in the old days. Installed by none other than myself. It was great!

to clarify: the system worked off the users IP, and it would then simulate database errors, timeouts, etc, so the user was banned, but he/she thought the forums were just having issues of some sort.

we used it to get rid of popular users who were trouble makers (who deserved a ban) this way their 'following' didn't rebel because technically they didn't know. Clever eh? Oh we were all about the clever and fun back then. ;)

heh, remember Crash?

He stopped speaking to me (to this day) because I reprimanded him for banning someone simply for pissing him off.

Crash was amazing. Who gave that dude powers anyway?

Jeff March 21st, 2012 10:35 AM

Re: When I get banned...
 
well he was fine at the start... (there's a LOT of drama that never made it to the forums about him)

:(

Let's just say I've learned several lessons from that whole experience.

Alan stroked his ego way too much which made him such a loose cannon when he returned for that couple of weeks.

If he was a dick while I was an admin I probably would have (after a couple warnings though - I wasn't reckless or power abusive or anything like that, ask Mr. Matt ;)). Then again the community as a whole was different back then. I have no idea how the moderators/admins handle things this day and age. I'm just guessing a lot more civil and controlled. :lulz:

My anus is still in pain from the days you were in charge, Giz. You weren't supposed to INSERT the ban stick. =p


Tachy Goes to Coventry is a fun vB3 feature that I think is sadly underused, however. Not quite as cool as your old fake forum meltdown plugin, but almost as good. It lets users continue to post, but their posts are hidden from every other user, afaik, effectively banning them but without them noticing it.

The thing I liked most about Crash was those podcasts that we had for a while. They were fairly fun listening. There was more demand for that sort of thing back then, mind.

Toph March 21st, 2012 12:54 PM

We need to do the Coventry thing to Ryojin. Just for fun. Because we secretly love him.

Frig, plugins, eh? Remember when that was a new thing introduced to vB? We all had so much fun overloading the forums with all that new plugin crap. :rofl: I haven't been under the hood in vB for years.

I don't remember the podcasts but I recall the huge staff meeting with merimeke (can't remember how to spell his name). It ended up being a pretty big thing and AzH and I disagreed with him (I don't remember the situation surrounding that) eventually getting him removed from his position which I then replaced. That was how I got my bump to SA. Good times! haha

Did I ever get the chance to ban you? I remember when we promoted you to administrator, we didn't ban you right away because we needed you to work on the forums. :lulz:

"Welcome FT, as administrator but we can't ban him because we need him, like right now".

haha

Actually, I can safely say I have never, ever been banned.

Except by y2ktm2 as Mr. Matt alluded too. But that's a long story.
