Might be why he was banned, but why he did that I'm not sure. Helping people is rough stuff and it's hard to do that if your contributions go either unnoticed or criticized. It's pretty lame to go through all your posts and delete them, though.
Wow, what an *******. I'm glad he was banned if that was his recourse for whatever his problem was. Don't take it out on the community.
Anyone in the know won't discuss it for obvious reasons but lets agree FK does not ban without cause. Helpful or not, if rules are thrown aside you become fair game for moderation.
Banning is a private matter.
If he had time to go thru all of his posts and edit them It should tell you that this wasn't an insta ban and attempts were made by the supermod/admin to address the situation and come to a point of conflict resolution.
If you look at OldNewbie's behavoir thru the years he started off great. As time passed he became intolerable. Oddly a change of scenery did him good.
Every Member new and old have to follow the same rules. If one can't abide by the rules at fk there are plenty of other forums.
I think Oldnewbie's footer is breaking the rules: link.
genesis...your footer isn't very appealing. Sorry to be a prude...i find it funny, but i have skipped reading all your posts at work since you added the cup.
Okay fine make me work...
But your gonna pay for it.
Sorry Lefteye. I changed it so it only displays for a second and then it goes blank long enough for you to read the post. ;)
Hahaha! Noooooo, Frets! :D
thanks genni
This all sounds very familiar
Who's NTD?
Yasonobu how was it resolved?
Robb I have no clue.
He was a big poster in AS and some others.
Wth got into him? Always seemed like a decent poster to me.
What finally got oldnewbie banned? That's a little more odd.
Old Newbie He violated FK rules.
We tried to work with him but he choose to work against us.
He did some post editing himself on the way out.
He was aware that if he did not comply he would be banned.
Instead of politely stepping out because he had a disagreement with fk policy
or following fk policy He chose to continue violating fk rules. While we were trying to work with him he was busy editing his posts.
I've seen him at other forums since he left. as a matter of fact he helped me with a php related question. I think he just needed a fresh start.
one thing is for sure, the guy had an INCREDIBLE amount of time on his hands.
We ignored him and the people in the forum were kind of pissed at the way he acted. I don't think he ever caused any more problems. I left the place in January, so I really have no idea if anything else has happened, but I doubt that he would try it again.Quote:

In the early days it was easy to ban by registration or ip. As time went by a few kids got really advanced and spoofing ip's and had thier own reg key generators.
It became impossible to manage.
ban someone and they would show back up in less then a minute
What is the sound of one hand clapping?...if someone leaves and nobody notices, do they ever really leave?

I just don't get why the angry reaction by some people when they've gathered so much respect.
In answer to David,
If they are a regular in the lounge oddly you will see threads popping up saying Where is So and So. The lounge has an odd commaradarie which has survived even while similar camaradiers in other forums seem to have dissapated.
In answer to Gerbick.
I think it's the adage that you make your decisions then your decisions make you. Some people get on a self destuctive path of egotism they can't escape.
I have a question :)
Gerbick and Ferts, if you ever to leave "the diva style", what would you do? :)
Won't happen. No "diva exit" by me. Guaranteed.
Fifty bucks says he bans everyone on the board from a toaster, and then runs around naked on the board :D
puwhahahahaha. you are one gifted mind-reader.
so as to not fall foul of a future banning, what are the usual reasons for bans ?
i ask as -
a) i can be tempermental
b) i do not suffer fools easily
c) i have a ripe repertoire of profanities
Read this and you'll be fine.
Well Read and follow
I kinda think I know by now how the lounge works and what sort of camaraderies develop ;)...just because I give up my mod role doesn't mean I get amnesia.Quote:

I can't see the point in the old 'it's my ball and if I can't play by my rules, I am going to take my ball and go home' syndrome. Deleting helpful threads or removing information you have provided freely in the past because you are pissed about something in the now is a crock...and I say good riddance to anyone who does it.

(was hoping this thread just got left alone)...
the only thing I can attribute it to would be that either because of possible length here or amount of helpfulness in the tech forums.. he didnt need to adibe the rules? or maybe his ego/pride was bruised?
Nobody like to have things they are doing wrong pointed out to them.. in all aspects of life. Some can take that as constructive, and simply correct it.. and some get offended.
Im sure Ive been guilty of this in my life.. people make mistakes.. its how you handle it afterward that defines your character.
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!Quote:
