A decent number of people are getting temp bans starting tomorrow for a variety of actions. They should all have been notified by now, and encouraged to deal with any pending matters they might have (pm or otherwise). Temp bans ranged in length from one day to several weeks.
If someone with a temp ban tries to create a second account to avoid the ban a much harsher response will be forthcoming. If a banned user needs to contact us for any reason, an email address on a contact us page is the way to reach us. Note: failing to take responsibility for one's own posts and pointing a finger at others in an attempt to deflect attention is not likely to impress...
The length of bans everyone is getting varies and is based on a perception of the behavior of the users, number of previous warnings or bans given them (repeat offender), the time you take and grief you give to mods and admins, and similar reasons. Looking at everyone's actions took a few days so that the different mods and admins and staff could discuss these matters. Again, part of the action (especially ban duration) is based on the previous communication with mods and admins, which the rest of the users here are not going to have knowledge of.
Other than two minor price policing temp bans, almost all of them were for failing to play nice and avoiding attacking/insulting other people.
Some of the posts that caused reactions were (in no order, and by no means complete):
---
1. "(username) just gets under my skin kind of the way a parasite does..."
2. "You can't argue with desperation...It's sad that such a cancer is dividing up the community here. (name), please go away."
3. "...We can't all be retail whores like you and post all the stupid little trinkets we make in our .signatures...."
4. "...(username) is ignorant and wrong."
5. "...You do not have a dog in the hunt. If you spend your day worrying about what we do you are fucked anyway. You are just other douche bag in a long line of them here NON BIGGER THAN (username) AND NOW YOU CAN JOIN THE LIST HE IS ON. And use spell check once in a while dumbass. I know the powers that be will delete this and ban me which is fine because with the DOUCHE BAGS that are on here like (username) , (another username) and the like this place is just no fun anymore. It is a shame that a few Assholes ruin it for everyone."
6. "All you need is a brain, you moron... ...the name of the game is Space Duel."
7. ".......and vile assholes like you..."
8. "...and you apparently think that an apostrophe is required when pluralizing a word...What kind of keyboard do you use that A and E are adjacent to cause such a typo? Even on Dvorak, they're 2 keys apart."
9. "come find me you fucking retard"
10. "You know (username) you are fucking annoying and if anyone here needs to give it a rest it is you. You never add anything to this forum but negtive shit. I am sure I am not the only person here who is just plain wore out by it.... And I did not start this fucking thread ASSHOLE so crawl back in your hole and leave me the fuck alone. And by the way you do not have to be a DICK all the time."
11. "Why do you even post? Just to spread more misinformation and waste everyone's time?"
12. "Well think again. You are just too negative for me and I am done responding to your vomit you spread here..."
13. "...and it won't have any sound, since you don't know how to build an audio amp. How useful."
14. "Don't play the victim.... Please just go away. Please."
15. "Guys name is (name) and he is a crook. He stole 1050.00 of my cash and then lead me on a chase for wet and rotted games... Dude is a big time crook and you have been warned. I would not but a joy stick off the douche bag." [neg feedback forum is the place for warnings, the battlefield shall not spill over.].
16. "You are another that can Fuck Off"
17. "It was kinda nice w/ just a couple retards around...three's a crowd."
...and many more...
