I don't get it Poozy. You banned me for asking a simple question about what /thread meant. At least give me a fucking warning before you ban me for 3 days.

I couldn't have been clearer with my ban message.

"Read a thread before you post in it. Don't be fucking lazy man. You asked a question in the "/thread" thread that was addressed several times already. -Poozy"

I banned you for being a lazy twat. If you have a question, you should try to find the answer before asking it. Especially in a thread like this one where it is very likely that other newbs asked the same question before you saw the thread.

You know what should really be banned? Posting "motivational poster" images that completely forget what they're supposed to be spoofing in the first place. Hell, even cunt punt is somewhat overused these days. Why don't we just ban users for unoriginal content? All posts must be fresh; no rehashing of old thoughts and jokes.

Anyways, I think you're just being a whiny little bitch, EyeLovePoozy.

No it isn't.

Damnit Poozy! First, you come up with new rules that might actually make the NG BBS better, but then you actually try to enforce those rules? I can't believe you are working so hard to help make the BBS a better place!

It sickens me.

I love to make parody posts about idiots that complain over nothing.

My PSN ID is xscoot. Crazy, huh?

Hey, do you also ban when someone replies to a post, but doesn't add anything except "seconded"?

Cause, that really is nothing more than spam, and it might inspire others to do the same but with "thirded", " fourthed" and so on.

Isn't cool story bro also used to say something belongs on the userpage?

Well, you can delete the comment, and ban the user

On your userpage, I mean.

Or the BBS, depends on how pissed you are

I've banned at least two dozen people in the past week for this, so I'm bumping this to avoid further stupidity.

NOTE:

1. This isn't up for debate.
2. Being stupid ITT will probably get you banned.
3. This is a friendly heads up bump.

How about instead of having rules, you just get someone to write a script that bans a random user for 30 days every hour?

Holy **** I was about to say it earlier today. I didn't even know.

I think that if any rule isn't here at least we should get a warning. Not wishing to get banned here but I think it's bullshit for users who don't know this rule. Good thing I know now.

if you would read this thread, you will notice that this is fully covered in the existing rules but is simply a tired old meme that people seem to revive and regurgitate from time to time and need a reminder that useless one word posts or presumptuous opinions on the validity of threads is already not allowed.

The rules also state to read the entirety of threads before posting in them. Had you done so you would have known all this.

If so it's clearly not getting the job done, so I propose another solution:

Ban everyone forever.

How come when the mods spam and break the rules they don't get in trouble, and they are allowed to come up with arbitrary rules that users who have read the rules wouldn't know about unless they read the specific thread?

Mods can't ban other mods, and the admins don't give a fuck. Also, Poozy's the only mod who makes these stupid rules, and I doubt a new user will be banned for being ignorant of threads like these - if there are more of them. I thought this was the only one.

I would also like the answer to this question. I have seen mods sometimes use very rude language when talking to people on this forum and I know plenty of users who have been banned for that exact thing. "Because they are mods" isn't going to be a real answer. That is like saying a cop should be allowed to shop-lift because he is a cop.

Do you mean literally the phrase "/thread" or the word "Thread"? There are certainly a lot of those.

Are we allowed to post "/thread" if that isn't the entire post? What if we post it like so:

/thread

After a respectable post? Will we still be banned?
