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

[Scott Campbell]

RIP APB.

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 that are legit. You should see some of the perverted spam accounts that try to get on the site...ick!

Think B has anything to do with those?

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

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.

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.

Congrats on 10,000.

You are next Harv!!

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.... )

Spoiled brat zool!! I've never gotten a massage.

[Zool]

Sorry Mad, I thought you were giving them out to all of us. Im special I guess.

I didn't know that. There is a guy just looking for trouble and the eventual will happen. It is just a matter of time.

If he is truly Psycho he will use a different IP at the library, the YMCA, homeless shelter, daycare, etc.

Years ago there was a character on the Press Gazette Board like that and they only locked his identity and he had dozens and bragged about how often he got banned. Insulting moderators with obscene and profane posts rapidly increased the ban total.

Change my no vote to a yes with the information in A and B.
It's difficult enough dealing with the spectrum of people in the "normal" range of divergent personalities.

[dissident94]

Don't bann him. I hate banning people. Just don't listen to him

Oh this country is not a democracy. Democracies don't work. Majority rule doesn't work and nver will. That is why we elect people.
The founding father spoke out against democracy.
Its amazing how we throw that word around when we do not have a ture democracy
We have a republic which is a limited democracy

This isn't entirely true. I get a lot of grief for being a mod.

Every time someone disagrees with me, instead of stating WHY, they just bitch about what a crummy moderator that I am.

Oh yeah, and I get that damn moderator banner too. Whoo hoo!

Is this like Clinton's "don't ask, don't tell"? Is that why Zool is the only one who gets Shiatsu massages?
