Of course what transpired towards the site forum and the watercooler. Both of them were taking it way too far and disregarding the warnings sent to them. Chipmunky will be sent a warning for continued baiting when he was told to stop 2 days ago

Fourth banning in three years, right?

Heres the issue people. Im not saying that Maverikk is always right but I notice the gang mentality getting worse and worse in the forums. Sometimes its not entirely Maverikk's fault yet Ive see a few of you throw personal attacks towards his direction for no reason

Heres to Mav, there is something that you seem to make issue with is when people dont agree with your opinion wheter its movies or music. Its something called respecting the other person's opinion and just because they dont see eye to eye with you doesnt mean they are baiting you or doing it to spite you. Ive seen you make few issues with some posters over their disagreement over the Hulk. Its not clearly attacking them but it sometimes makes them feel like shit everytime you lump them into the sheep mentality or netboy elite because they dont think Jessica Aba is a good actress. Im not saying they had the right to follow you around but some of your comments come off condescending in a way and makes the other person look bad. The other thing is when you start arguing with someone your comments are sometimes are more personal and insulting at times. Threatening someone over the net to come to Vegas to kick the shit out of them isnt going to accomplish anything

And this is a message from Mav. To some of you, it's been nice, to others, I won't miss you, but this was the last time for me. According to Shack, all of the trouble was my fault. You will now be in paradise, because I've got better things to do than hang here anymore. Please delete this account and disable my Maverikk account. I won't be needing it anymore.

Roid, Jim Halpert wants to know why he's banned, exactly. Just the messenger...

(Is this a bait?)

Both Jim and Mav were taking their fights in both the site and watercooler forum. They did this despite me warning them both

From Jim Halpert:

Jim, you were still calling Mav a bitch and was still baiting him even after you have replied to my warning. Both you and Mav were still guilty of dragging your fights to the watercooler and site forums. This is just for the cooling period between you both. Sorry for your ban

What a mess.

And I'm not even sure what sparked all of it besides increased tension with each passing day between people, and those being pulled into it.

That's just being overly emotional.

There's periodically high-tension around here, and it's been FAR worse than this, and it's relatively confined to a few people who really mean it. But for most it's business as usual.

You are just in the midst of it so it feels bigger probably.

YOUR FACE ROO!!!

Well, i give this soap opera of the week episode **1/2 out of ****.

It's because I wasn't involved... wasn't it?!

WASN'T IT?!?

I think bannings just don't work well. Roid, can't you just forcefully change the people's sig/avatar/name into something really embarassing for a week as the punishment?

He'll be back. He's always back.

Or just tell Mav that the next time he gets banned, it'll be until further notice, not just one week. Maybe he'll tread more lightly then.

Apparently wanting to get banned means you won't be. It's weird.

Gulli did what he did, and received a warning.

Jim and Mav didn't stop after getting one.

what time was padraig's warning received?

I had to make haste because I was coming off from work but anyhow I did put a descretion in one of the threads about deciding on if he needs a ban or warning with Nebs. I havent discussed it briefly yet

You gotta give Gulli points for creativity, though.

gray area

i would say that if the comments ever come after the warnings, ban right away. those comments are definetely bannable. if they come before the warning, then they would be part of the warnings.

i think the issue here is how long it took to give the warning.

The first warning to Guilli was soon after he made the remarks to Mav. I didnt see the second reply to Mav because the posts were moved by Christian from the original thread to the "Tell something new" thread. Thats when I was driving back to home and I even thought I saw the remark towards jujubee from Mav which would have gotten away unnoticed if someone didnt point it out to me. It was a long day so I went to bed after issuing the bans and warnings. I will look into it more in detail
