Why was Kregg banned?!

[timeshifter]

Because of a funny picture that somebody *cough*k*cough* deemed ban-worthy. I'm with kregg on this one. It wasn't nearly as bad as some of the other stuff that's slipped through here.

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Ban for a whole freaking month!!!

That's outrageous!!

If anyone found that picture "funny" that you have something very wrong with you, and you lost ALL of my respect as a person.

[schoolbusdriver]

The pic on it's own could be considered funny or offensive. The pic together with the caption was unacceptable to anyone with common sense.

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Was it really worth 1 months ban though?!

Edit: I haven't seen the caption...

In theory, how would it affect those of us for whom you had little to no respect as a person to begin with?

When someone is banned or certain imagery is banned it piques everyone's interest.

WHAT WAS THE PICTURE!?

[Kasracer]

[crptcblade]

kasracer, we posted at the same time. We both need more work to do.

Wrong. I have plenty of work to do. This is called procrastination.

Good

[kleinma]

I'll tell you what he posted, because maybe it will prevent some of you other people from being banned in the future.

He posted a picture of a girl being punched in the stomach with the words "surprise abortion" under it. If any of you think that is "funny" then that is sad, but hey, thats your opinion. However for anyone to think it is acceptable to post it on this forum, well you are wrong, and you can't argue that case to me.

Just keep in mind all the other times some of you have already had to be disciplined for your conduct in here, and then think how that may reflect the moderator communities decision when it comes time to decide if someone should be banned or not.

Yes. You don't want to know the caption.

(Remember, I ban schoolkids from the buses I drive.)

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Your a bus driver! Well bugger me!

[timeshifter]

First, remember that it was a cartoon image, not to be looked at realistically in the first place. Second, the text on the image itself said "falcon punch", a blatant reference to Super Smash Bros. Melee. The image was a joke from the start.

[kleinma]

and if the image was there with no caption, this thread wouldn't exist.

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Well actually, I have been planning a 'Why has kregg been banned' thread for months, its just a conicidence it was posted now.

[Kasracer]

Sorry but that sounds hilarious to me. Oh well...

I guess this is why my suicide picture was removed? heh

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Did you get banned for a month?

[Kasracer]

Did you get banned for a month?

No but then again maybe that was because it was my first offense? Well I got banned like 4 years ago but that's different, heh.

[kleinma]

Well then I can only hope a potential future employer stumbles upon this webpage when they are considering hiring you

[I_Love_My_Vans]

If anything, they would not fire as his homepage has been down for months!

[visualAd]

I would have paid to have Kregg banned, but I knew he would have achieved it himself somewhere down the line. I say good riddance and I am writing a bribery cheque for Brad to keep him banned for an eternity.

Sounds like the picture he posted is a reflection of his blatant disregard for life and humanity. Nothing surprising there.

[I_Love_My_Vans]

This thread is closed

*maybe*

[Kasracer]

I would certainly hope that an employer would not use my feels or sense of humor as a requirement for hire. If they do then I probably wouldn't want to work there anyway...

[kleinma]

what it really comes down to is this guys.

It is just easier to ban you than babysit you like 2 year olds.

[mar_zim]

1 month is quite long enough for krogg to prepare some random images to post here.

[Kasracer]

Sounds good to me. It's not your job to baby sit us

[kleinma]

Actually it is

[timeshifter]

Then do your job instead of being ban-happy.

[kleinma]

excuse me?

[timeshifter]

You just said it was your job to babysit. Babysit != ban because you feel like it.

[Atheist]

You just said it was your job to babysit. Babysit != ban because you feel like it.

In all fairness, I dont think any moderators bann because they "feel like it", they bann because they believe a post violated the AUP.

In this case this point might've very well been the one kregg violated:

You will not use profanity in our forums, and will neither post with language or content that is obscene, sexually oriented, or sexually suggestive nor link to sites that contain such content.

Or, incase this has happened before and kregg has been warned, this one:

You will, if asked by a representative of the Forums, cease posting any content, and/or links to content, deemed offensive, objectionable, or in poor taste by the staff of the Forums.

[kleinma]

I have banned very few people from these forums in my time here as a moderator. I feel I am pretty lenient with some of the drivel that comes out of peoples mouths in chit-chat.

My job is 3 fold. To move/delete threads as needed, to babysit you guys that don't behave, and to ban members who are told over and over again that what they post is not acceptable, and do it anyway.

I just hope kregg knows, that regardless of how he feels about this ban, that I was very VERY close to making it permanent, which is a tad longer time than a month.

[I_Love_My_Vans]

You ever been banned before?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Hmmm. I don't like the sound of the image (is that even possible?), though it puts me in mind of a cartoon my old landlady sent me showing a bargain vasectomy. Clearly over the line in here, but for potentially pornographic potential, rather than the content itself being otherwise offensive. Yet if somebody described it, I might think it could be offensive. An artist can convey alot of context in a drawing.

In any event, my only concern is that I might go into lolcat withdrawals.....or not.

the cartoon and caption were not one and the same. It was your standard black border with lame caption under the picture job you see all over the internet. Someone took the art, and made the caption.

[I_Love_My_Vans]

Banez? Kregg has it///

I don't LOOK all over the internet.

I'd have to say that the one thing that truly impressed me about Klegg is his ability to come up with the enormous load of images that he does. I can occasionally find one thing once every other month or so, he can post a dozen to any given thread at any given instant and never repeat. I can honestly say that I can't conceive of a life such that a feat of that nature would be possible. I'm not saying I envy that life, I'm just saying that it is remarkable, kind of like a three legged frog: Not a good thing, but a remarkable thing.
