Sorry guys, I had to go. I banned A-Mike. He's banned for maybe another 3 hours? Given he's racked up nearly 900 posts in just a few days of posting, hopefully he won't feel too put out, and he will have plenty of time to catch up. He'll become a God faster than any other child of the forum in history.
Order of events: I said quit bringing vulgarity from Paradise to Terrestrial. I specified A-Mike because he was the only one doing it. A-Mike did it more. I edited out the vulgarity from a couple posts. So of course, he posted more vulgarity. So I deleted the next one; the next one; the next one; then I had stuff I had to do, and realized given past history, this could turn into a vulgarity explosion in Terrestrial, so I banned him for a few hours.
And look -- we're able to have a nice heated conversation with some generous personal attacks but not too bad and without the x-rated stuff.
Let me take a moment to sternly warn Doc Cam:
A lot of people are really concerned about you Dr. Cam, and so if you should decide to post vulgarity on this thread or other threads in Terrestrial, I will edit out the vulgarity or delete the post.
Everybody happy? Doc Cam has now been warned. I will indeed edit Doc Cam's posts in Terrestrial should he cross the line.
(this only applies until some things can be worked out with Shades who is incognito; Shades might tell me to take a hike and all bets are off.)
Unrealistic expectation:
It won't matter who is moderator or if Shades retains it all for himself, one thing that is never going to happen is a full sweep consideration of all past transgressions of the forum when considering moderator action against any particular individual. I'm not opposed if someday we go through history and edit out all the bad stuff, but that's a big job, and not really practical.
Rest assured, A-Mike has about equal vulgarity in his past posts as most other line-crossers put together, and if some new poster registers who demands to be able to use whatever language he or she wants until all A-Mike's past posts are either individually condemned, altered or deleted, that person's demand will not be met either. See, it's fair.
If Res does end up moderating Paradise, I'm pretty sure that in terms of extreme personal attacks and vulgarity, everyone will be treated equally in terms of that day forward.
