Should have a sticky for this stuff.

He'll throw a temper tantrum and earn a longer ban, of course

Hmm... I thought he was entertaining but w/e
I don't know if it will achieve anything, but he has an opportunity to 'cool off' and if he continues trolling ...
Steely is right though, most forums that announce this sort of thing have one sticky thread for everyone who gets banned to let other users know where they went and why...
Is this our first banning?
I really don't think we require a sticky, this is our first ever banning (AFAIK) and is 24 hours only. Will this thread not suffice?
I think the point is more that this thread is too much and that a single sticky noting disciplinary action would be better.
Probably not necessary at this point, but it's a good idea, all the same.Quote:

So Steely, when you say sticky do you mean in the context of an "Announcement" type sticky where such things as ban's are reported but no replies can be added? That may be better since threads announcing bans can lead to regrettable posting about said banned members who are not present and have no right of reply which is regrettable IMO.
Just why is it that the information conveyed by the profile, the infraction list *if it's up yet* is not sufficient? What is the purpose of making this sort of announcement, or a sticky thread? Surely the scarlet letter is quite large enough without such measures. The only people the mods owe an explanation to is the one disciplined. If they want it to be public, they can act to make it so. Public praise, private censure is Etiquette 101.
I posted this publicly Fuzzy because YM has been in various discussions across the forum and I thought on balance it'd be more fair to let people know than have it appear he'd gone away/wasn't responding etc ... And hasn't indeed been permanently banned, the title doesn't clarify it. Plus given the problems were spread across a load of threads I was unsure which if ever to reply to. Didn't want it to be ninja modding. Finally not sure what, if anything, appears on the profile for everyone since we moved.
Ideally there shouldn't be too many instances of this.
Very eloquently put Mr Fuzz, I concur.Quote:

Am guessing 41.
Yeah, pretty sure he's in his 40's. He just seems younger because of the Aussie.
EDIT... oh. :(

Not exactly geriatric yet.:up:
Close enough, ever since I was a teenager people have always though I am older than I am so 36 sounds pretty sweet.:up:Quote:

Ohhhhhh yeah.
:banana: A thread dedicated to me. :banana:
Thanks Ranblade :kiss:
EDIT 1:
I'm 16, not 8. There is a fine line between acting out because you want attention and stupidity. I got chastised and rebuked by Ranny, guess what I'm going to do now? (hint: it's the contrapositive of "i'll troll, the forum I hate")Quote:
