YOU decide Tank/Anti-Polar Bear's fate at PackerRats

[GrnBay007]

we all know that sorting through that smut is the highlight of your day.

Quiet about that stuff!!! Mad might pull me off my job.

Cool. The newest registered user is Îïòèìèçàöèÿ ñàéòîâ Íåîáõî.

Kind of ironic how we've had a flood of new posters today, and they're all from foreign countries.

Yeah, the Packers are really big in Tanzania. I've been there a couple of times.

Hmm...ElolaVinaplep..... I think he was my tour guide.

Nice touch!

Let's see. We had one poster sign up in the previous 6 days. Then, today we get 14 new users and they have weird names and are all from foreign countries. What do you think happened?

Highly doubtful any of those are Tank. This site sometimes gets 30-40 spam accounts a day. We sort through and activate those we feel are legit. You should see some of the perverted spam accounts that try to get on the site...ick!

you can wipe the drool from your mouth anytime...we all know that sorting through that smut is the highlight of your day..outside of the jello wrestling girl-on-girl daydreams while you count the days til' Prison Break resumes...

Don't forget about all her gal to gal body shots and the mud wrestling that leads to showers as well

I didn't realize mods worked that hard anyways; I just wait til I see somebody I recognize from another site and activate them Glad to see somebody is getting rid of the spam ones as well

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Harvey, are you implying some or all of those are actually Tank?

I see your point. However, he's only got ten no votes, and one of those was mine--along with several others who talked like they voted no.

If he wasn't gonna stuff the ballot box, why else do something so obviously inflammatory? I find myself acting like his defense attorney. REASONABLE DOUBT!

Tank has been declared an enemy combantant. Therefore he holds no rights. We can hold him in detention for as long as we wish.

Can we risk going forward with tank? I say no. What is the loss of a civil liberty when compared with Madtown saving us from attacks?

[woodbuck27]

Good grief here we go again.Same fella same deal. I like him too.

That aside.If a person ever rases enough Cain to get banned fr. a site? That person should be grateful to get the ban lifted and act in accordance wth proper manners. Go to school. In this case there has been more than one reprieve.

If that person doesn't respect his her privalege and respect of others and violates again. Then this process of the vote should be respected.This isn't about Mad Vs anyone but about the health and enjoyment of our forum.

I do think that any ban should be treated as a temporary action unless the privacy of any member here is compromsed. This isn't the case here but rather a case of repeated annoyances to members.

The vote will be the response of the forum not Mad.

Tell him to simply cut out the cursing and duplication of accounts . The rest of it is free speech.

I voted no.

[packers11]

just shove him in the rat trap for a week or two... that will do...

[Carolina_Packer]

I voted no. Not because I like what he says, but because it's a free country and we have free speech. I say if you don't like what he says, just ignore his comments. When posters have an adverse reaction to what he says, I think it encourages/emboldens him more. Ignoring him would probably piss him off, but he'd still be allowed to post and we'd still have free speech.

Free country? Free speech? Ha ha ha ha. That's a good one. Our government makes laws everyday that restrict our freedoms. Freedom of speech is a nice slogan, but it isn't a reality. Yeah, we have more freedoms then most, but we still have a lot of restrictions. Whether that's good or bad, I'll leave you to your own opinion. I'm not trying to start a debate here, I am just pointing out the reality of the situation. Next time your in a crowded theater, yell "fire!" See how the cops react to your freedom of speech.

As for this situation, freedom of speech means nothing. This is a private website. Mad has the freedom to ban anyone he wants. If you don't like it, move on and make your own website.

Who is fighting for our "rights?" Why can't packerrats be free of moronic posters? Why do we all have to suffer in order to protect one person's right to "freedom of speech?"

[BallHawk]

Can we stop the free speech and free country BS, please? This is an internet forum, not a courthouse. Mad can do whatever the hell he want. He could run this place like a monarchy but he doesn't. Oh well, it's his place he can do whatever.

Think B has anything to do with those?

RIP APB.

I resemble that remark......although........if Mad would set me up with a packerrat email account.........more spam might come

[texaspackerbacker]

What Carolina said is true. Madtown can do whatever he pleases--no freedom of speech, no due process about it--the Golden Rule--Mad has the Gold, Mad makes the rules--not democracy. He can carry out the will of the majority or choose to ignore it.

The question I would ask is, what harm did Tank really do? That's mostly not just a rhetorical question, as there apparently was a lot of history before I was here. I've heard bits and pieces, but nothing substantial.

Unless there is a lot more to his bad deeds than I've heard of, I hope restraint is used in dealing with the guy.

[CaliforniaCheez]

He's on the way.

If gone for a month or two of this off season is no big deal as there is nothing going on and he won't be tempted.

He will be distracted once training camp is started. Hopefully.

[Merlin]

Meh, I voted no...for now. I do think he needs to tone it down and use at least some resemblance of etiquette. Everyone in here has blown their wad a time or two before. Anyone who voted "yes" only because they disagree with his opinions doesn't get it and shouldn't be allowed to vote for anything, ever.

I guess I find it rather shocking that we are talking about banning someone because they use strong language yet those who use hate speech because they feel threatened by or disagree with someone on a message board get a free pass. I would rather put up with a few f-bombs here and there then I would anyone who speaks out of pure hatred, yet that is allowed.

Now, if the guy is being a total tool and creating bullshit accounts, newk em, fry em, hang em out to dry. Nothing is harder on a database then having it full of shitty, useless data.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I resemble that remark

Congrats on 10,000.

[GrnBay007]

Yep, congrats B. ...and so much quality info.

You are next Harv!!

[MadtownPacker]

This has nothing to do with Tank's language. He is already banned. He got banned because he was making multiple accounts and given repeated warnings about it. This is his last shot at staying because

A: He aint suppose to be here in the first place. Already banned.

B: When given the chance to hang around, AGAIN, he intentionally violates rules that everyone agreed upon. The mods here do what they do because they want whats best for the forum. I can tell you right now they dont get and dont ask for anything in return.

[Zool]

Well thats not 100% true. Mad gives us all shiatsu massages. Sometimes with a happy ending.

[Tarlam!]

I haven't had a Tank sighting in quite a while. Maybe this was simply too much attention. He finally got the fact, that at least 75% of "his" audience hates his posts so much, that they can do without.

Boy, I hope you never run a poll over me!

(P.S. For you newbs, I ran a poll once.... )
