There are 5 temporary bans this morning, running in length from 1 to 3 days. They are related to a mspaeth thread.

The 5 are about to know who they were.

Please treat others as you would like to be treated and keep the junk out of the threads.

We are tired of seeing abusive threads, and so are all the people that keep reporting them to us.
 
Can you let us know who they are? I have a couple deals pending with people who were in that thread, and if I cant get a hold of them for a while, it would be nice to know.

Thanks.
 
Well... the fact i am still here is encouraging at least...

EDIT: I mean, I was trying to do damage control until Spanks came in with his "Im gunna kick your ass" comments...

...then I fell prey to "gotta make a smartass comment back" bug.
 
My apologies to anyone that I have offended, I am only willing to take so much crap from anyone, before I act like a little child. My limit has been reached.

I will accept my punishment like a Man.
 
By request. Here is the list. I'm posting it simply because someone was concerned about possible pending transactions with some of these people. We were hesistent to post the list as we probably left off at least one person equally deserving (or greater) than one or more of the names below.

djw90
mspaeth
spanks_4
swolgam
FrizzleFried

Spanks_4 got the longest ban (at 3 days) for post #56 in the mspaeth thread in which a new aspect to the thread was added: what could be construed as a threat of physical violence. In the future, when we spot violent threats from him or others the response may very well be greater.

As far as the others. Some were more problematic than others. The bans are short, and might not even be noticed by everyone on the list if they don't try to log on today or tomorrow.

We thought mspaeth was actually fairly restrained when egged on until late in the thread, as was FrizzleFriend.

If you have a problem with another user and want to post a warning to others it can be ok. A factural post is much better than some of the names that got thrown out though. A posting negative comments when you have never dealt with the person doesn't help either (you know who you are).
 
Dokert,

You didn't make the list this time. That doesn't mean we think you are innocent. Other than 1 comment you posted on the thread and another comment where someone mentioned you have online wars with mspaeth your name didn't come up.

If you posted particuarly troubling messages that got deleted by one of the moderators, than I didn't see it and you lucked out from our lack of coordination.

Take it as a warning though. People 'asking for it' isn't a valid excuse. If you see a troubling thread, 'report it', don't start an online fight.

Respectfully, "noted".

What "is" the procedure for reporting?
