Seibert, tip: If you want to talk about things like this on the Internet, either explain them in detail, or make sure they're amusing to other people.
Not to boast, but using myself as an example: When I post things like that Mykan post and the "who are you to do MSTs if you're 15" thing, I know that some people here are going to find those amusingly stupid.
If you just post that you're mad at someone that nobody else but you knows, without any explanation what they did, that's going to just be confusing to everyone else.
EDIT: ...And Seibert was permabanned for being under the age of 18. I don't think that's the exact reason, though.
Vermin Supreme, who thinks He'll win the election?
(So I'm not a hypocrite, he is this comedian that is being purposely bad for the US presidential election, sadly my youtube video of him was banned, but he is especially known for his Pony Pledge to give everyone a Pony, A zombie protection plan, and "Jesus told me to make this man gay" and then sprinkling powder on this one guy screaming "HE'S TURNING GAY")

And I just want to clarify that while we let that rule slide more often than we should, discussion on this most recent ban in particular will not be tolerated.
Are there still places down there that are putting money into cancer research? I know it's not as profitable and therefore most of the research is done in Europe and ...well, my city university(UofA).
Just turns up out of the blue, then he's all like "All humans suck because they pollute the earth", then steals the megazords.
The Power Rangers are all like "but we need those! How do we fight the big monster at the end of each episode without them?"
Then Animus is like "Thats your problems bitches"
Then he rolls up to his homeboy Merrick and he's all like "Yo Merrick wasup. These bitches ain't worth our time man, lets go to my place and shoot hoops or somethin'"
I know he redeems himself later on, but the whole thing is kind of pointless from the start.
EDIT: Also is there a Power Rangers Abridged? Because there needs to be one.
Just had to drive 10 miles, change my sister's tire on the side of the road, and follow her home, and now she has to take my car. This sucks.
And I was supposed to hang out with a friend tomorrow, and suffer through/ridicule Power Rangers Operation Overdirve, so he'll have to pick me up and take me home if he still wants to do that.
I just have to say that the mods do an excellent job all things considered.
So thank you mods for your good work.
Thank You
Edit: Thank You
Sometimes we have to do things we hate and be the bad guy, but we volunteered for this job because we like this place, we like the people, and we just want to see things run smoothly and everyone to have a good time.
I'll just say that today especially sucked because what we had to do actually had nothing to do with a disruption on anybody's part, and that made it all the harder. So the kind words are especially appreciated today.
Not that I'm talking about it. And neither can you guys. And the cooperation so far on this is also greatly appreciated.
Well, I have an odd feeling the more userfriendly Apple edition will be out soon .
Actually, the technology would be quite similar to Surrey(spelling?) on the Iphone as I know that can do quite similar things(sister has it, it scares me how much that works).
I just want to clarify we are not allowed to talk about and or discuss banned member.
I hate this rule. It reeks of Nazi Germany. People being whisked off in the middle of the night without any apparent reason, and then people who mention it are themselves at risk of disappearing (albeit temporarily).
But I guess you guys are just following the rules. Ah well.

This, I don't know if there is a good reason or not why this is a rule, but can it be something like you are allowed to talk about the ban say within 24-48 hours after said banning, but then that's it? Some way so we can get it out of our system?
Well..to tell you the truth. It's a privacy issue between user and the site. Also it's not fair if someone has to talk badly about a member and the member can not be here to defend themselves.

Hardly. :cool:
I can tell you for one thing that I don't like this "rule" as well, but I can see its point, unfortunately very much so. The key phrase is the "no apparent reason" bit. Of course there is one, and it's definitely not because we don't like people's noses. Sometimes a community member makes a huge mess, and when everything is finally cleaned up, the same mess reappears by members guessing the ban reason or worse, actually quoting it from memory. It's like a perpetuum mobile. Still, sometimes there are completely different reasons that can't be told, and mods just sit there in front of their screen contemplating whether they should (or are allowed to) disclaim this or that stupid, wrong and community-inflaming guess. And that's why the discussion is a no-go. I can testify however that I have YET not ever banned someone for "discussing banned members". I have, however, on occasion deleted a lot of posts with such discussion without warning.
...although my history lessons might fail me here, I'm also pretty sure Nazi Germany didn't have Internet forums. Ah well, off to ask my grandmother.

This. Not only are banned users unable to come here and defend themselves against any comments made about their banning, but unless they were banned for an obvious reason, any discussion about their banning is speculation on the forum's part, since the mod team can't and won't discuss our reasoning behind bans.
And this most recent one is a particularly sensitive case, with potential consequences far greater than you realize, and the fuss that's been made about it is far too much already.
So as much as I hate to blacklist discussion on anything, in this case, it's simply necessary. Now I don't want to hear another word about it.
Comments
because even cyberwolf fell for it
I couldn't agree more. Thank you.
Now there's a sentence that shouldn't ever have to be made.
Again... who?
Quit thinking that we know this random crap that you look into.
"PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS YOUR NAME"
search T4-TV commentaries on youtube and you will find him
Or you know, you could explain all this crap before stating all this.
WHY DON'T I JUST POST THE COMMENTARY he skipped the copyright section
It gets stupider.
"NAME put ITEM in ITEM POCKET" is now...
"NAME ITEM BAG FUCK"
20 seconds in, see a crappy picture and hear "doopidy doop" over and over again. Why should we care?
he actually has made good commentaries, get past those and you will find he is a good commentator
COMMENTATING ON WHAT?
You don't mention any of this. WHY Is there a rant, WHY is there backlash, WHY SHOULD I CARE!!!

Crap really? He has been annoying as of late, but really?
How can you tell it was a permaban?
And all the ungay is melting away...
This:
Their entire YouTube channel is amazing. Along with the above Pokemon series, I really recommend their Crash Bandicoot, Superman 64, and Paperboy 2 videos.
They're actually going to all get a house soon, so they can increase video production.
Why can't shit go down when I'm actually home?
Bummer.
+1.
EDIT: Wait, I don't hate supmandude. What am I saying?
Google is actually making this. Wow.
Hey! Some of us need a job that doesn't get taken over by mega corporations!
Though, if Google wants to pay me a lot... sure!
Can I work for DataDyne? How about Weyland - Yutani?
What part about 'Hates children' don't you understand?
So thank you mods for your good work.
Thank You
Edit: Thank You
We do what we must to keep this place fun and entertaining and to keep it safe.
I noticed at work today that....if I can't find something..I'm doing it wrong.
And.. wow.. Animus is a dick.
Just turns up out of the blue, then he's all like "All humans suck because they pollute the earth", then steals the megazords.
The Power Rangers are all like "but we need those! How do we fight the big monster at the end of each episode without them?"

TL;DR Privacy issue and Between member and forum.
