Spot on Doc.
The deeper feeling is pride and protection of TMMAC.
People really like what you guys have built. Take it as a compliment.
I can appreciate that sentiment. Seriously. And at the end of the day I hope you guys really know how much I appreciate your input.

But it's vastly easier for us to hold people accountable when it's on a level playing field.
One thing that seems to work well is our users being really nice to newcomers and even people that are kind of being jerks for a moment. It self selects. People that just want to be jerks will keep being jerks and then I pink and ban them. People that want to join the group typically respond to that respect and lose the edge.

It's all made pretty tough when the person is breaking the rules but others are as well. It ties our hands some and I assure you that the best thing you can do to someone you don't want to be here is give them the rope to hang themselves.

Just the twisted mind of a person that needs help.

He did take Hauler @Alco Hauler seriously though - when he said he heard him mentioned on radio in the US, on an affiliate station. Spelling psychiatrist from memory. That made his Facebook wall, complete with congratulations from friends lmfao
Oh shit. Now I feel bad. :(

No.

And the Community is divided on lots of people.

I'm not sure you know the number of people that you regularly post with that there were calls to ban over and over when they first arrived.

But I wouldn't ever use that metric on someone being banned. Break the rules we attempt an increasing blind punishment system. But the goal was always to get people to fall into the fold.




Yeah John, you have to go back.
Out out out.

One of the ways that we choose to undo bans, is simply what the user portrays when ask us to be unbanned. It's subjective but it usually gives an idea of what they plan to do in the community.

We sometimes get fuck you and unban me you fagots.

Other times we get people saying my bad I was just fucking around and I'd like to hang out.

As I've said before he can always email if he wants to talk just like everyone else that's ever been banned.

Regardless, I still don't understand the reaction in this thread. We're talking about a lack respect from John while others are posting publicly they plan to ramp up their trolling of him? Isn't that against the rules on all sides? We've simply let it go because all involved in this thread seem to be thriving off of it and how do I hold him accountable and not have to hold everybody accountable? We Are Forever trying to do a hands off modding job while keeping a cool place to post.

There seems to be some much deeper feelings going on.
I honestly thought I was playing along with his shtick. :confused:

I don't understand this false dichotomy at all.

Someone chooses to leave and we are to blame that others choose to post?

Also, no one asked for anyone back.
I had taken Johns post at face value and assumed that you had gone to his site and asked him to come back.

The fact that you would go seek him out to try to get him to return when we have lost so many great posters (who admittedly may not have gotten the clicks he did) who were (are) damn good people angered the fuck out of me. To be fair I'm currently a little testy. I'm doing a month long stint on midnights and to say I'm not adjusting well to the shift change would be a wild understatement.

Look at this place like a house party. There are a few people who live at the house that enforce some rules when needed but people are generally awesome and come and go as they like. The more awesome people here the better crowd they attract.

Then some creepy guy shows up thats been kicked out of every other party and starts causing weird shit. Everyone knows he's not mentally there but some choose to goad him on while others are pretty sure he's got a skin suit in his basement.

Everyone likes this party and wants to keep coming back but he's making the group as a whole look bad and potentially scaring new people away with his 'it puts the lotion on it's skin' vibe. When he is finally asked to leave the party starts to return to normal.

So yeah, you are right there is something deeper. I like this place, quite a lot actually. And I don't like it when people shit all over it (be it in many threads or just one). There are arguments here all the time and posters disagree but don't tell each other to fuck off, fuck off, fuck off!!! at the end of every post. Mentally unstable people belong on the UG (where john was also banned) not here.

If I'm holding this place to too high a standard so be it but I like hanging out with you faggots and don't want some Buffalo Bill motherfucker ruining it.

I need to go back to bed.

I think he is the perfect option for users who dont want to read his content to use the ignore feature, if they are so inclined

Tbh, we are probably not healthy for the guy right now.
yep...I felt bad for the guy
Car accident that gave him breathing issues is when I stopped laughing at this thread

wish him the best

FYI was surfing in Hawaii for 10 days so don't know what happened and not reading threads to learn
