I would like to propose that the account thomasgrayson be banned. You can read all of his posts here.

Every single one of his posts other than his introduction read something like this and don't actually apply to the thread:
Quote:

Reading this one seems to be a real good thing would work out well in the long run. I just hope that things would work out well for the long run as I read a lot of good tips here. Thanks!



Usually they include a spam link, but not always. I'm guessing the account is a poorly-programmed spambot. Sometimes the posts contain words from the original thread, so it's probably programmed to try to look contextually relevant, but it barely works.

Thomas, if you are not a spambot, please defend yourself here.

For the record, I've seen some other bogus and spam threads pop up in the last few days - and then disappear rather quickly.

The "secret administrator" thing seems to be working.

---

I looked at some of ThomasGrayson's posts that AcesAndEights is talking about. I KNOW I've flagged the ones with links. I guess the posts, being so short and not in multiple places, fell under the radar of other users. Also, those were probably before the secret administrator thing got started. His post today didn't have a link....

I saw it. I think 'screw off' can be taken as 'to heck
with you guys' and isn't necessarily a bad expression.
Boymimbo has been here a long time and makes good
posts, I don't think he would say something he meant
as a real insult. Its like if you're out drinking with your
friends and they're making fun of you about something
and you say "Hey, screw you guys". Nobody is insulted,
its meant in a non insulting way. I'm just sayin...

I didn't interpret it that way. I thought he BM was quite mad and meant what he wrote. However, I don't deny he is a good member. It is just that being a good member doesn't necessarily buy a longer leash. If anything, more should be expected of the more active members, to set a good example.

I thought the same thing. One of the most dreaded false cognates in Spanish is that in Spanish sensible means sensitive. We know from the SWD thread that aluisio is no stranger to the language.

Even though I completely missed it the first time around, I understand what the Wiz is doing here.


The full sentence in question was "So screw off everyone." This could easily have been "Screw you." It's an outward expression of anger.

On the flip side, "Screw me," could have had the same effect within the context of the post, but it is an inward expression of anger and therefore, probably would not have earned him the suspension.


Bear in mind that the Wiz is pretty easy going regarding some of the language that gets thrown about from time to time. Boymimbo's suspension is a reminder to all of us that we should think twice before posting something potentially offending.

Just as a public service announcement, I would like to draw attention to this part of the official Forum Rules (2.0):
Quote:

Keep it PG. No pornographic or violent images or text. Profanity is not specifically prohibited, but should be used sparingly to emphasize a point only, or in quoting another.


As one who is known to drop an F-Bomb from time to time (as most of my other Internet hangouts couldn't give a...darn), I try to use profanity sparingly when I'm really upset or trying to emphatically make a point. Like about the season finale of Lost :).

Although I would like to make a suggestion to the Wiz and JB: perhaps change the rule above to PG-13? I believe many words are off-limits in PG movies. PG-13 movies, as I recall, are allowed to drop one singular F-Bomb. This seems in line with the spirit of the profanity rules here.

Isn't boymimbo from Canada? Slang is different there. "Screw off" is an equivalent to "bugger off" (i.e. "go away, leave me alone, take a hike") not "screw you" or "go f*** yourself".

Of course, in the grand scheme of things the punishment isn't really that bad... Not posting for 3 days isn't really harmful. I do it all the time...

I would say please do not do this. Last thing the internet needs, or the world for that matter, is more profanity dropped in more places. Yes, I know the excuse is, "one f-bmb won't destroy the world." But one becomes many. Then the place becomes aother huffingtonpost where people seem to think they get paid a bonus for each expletive. And expletives tend to produce more and more rage, which feeds on itself.

Another point here is that teaching yourself to make your point strongly without profanity is good mind exercise. Any mamaluke can drop a bunch of "bleep this and bleep you"-s into a post and sound tough. The smart person is able to describe their point with good thought. And the really smart person knows he or she has "won" the argument when they do this and make their point and the other party resorts to a bunch of profanity, which usually contains some name calling.

So to sum up, keep the 1960s-level TV Censorship/PG-13 ruleset, please. If someone wants to drop F-bombs there is Usenet and Youtube, among other places.



SIDE NOTE: On the subject of words in movies, I think that has changed over the years. Here is the latest from MPAA on it:

A motion picture’s single use of one of the harsher sexually-derived words, though only as an expletive, initially requires at least a PG-13 rating. More than one such expletive requires an R rating, as must even one of those words used in a sexual context

I'm back.

I'm not going to apologize for my comments on Friday. Earlier in the thread, someone asked which casinos had PGP and PGTiles. I responded by spending a hour creating a table in Excel of all authorized table games in Atlantic City, as I was expected someone to ask, "what about Bacarrat tables? What about Blackjack?". Frankly, there are only a handful members that take time out to do research. Paco, MathExtremist, Crystal, the Wizard himself, Miplet, are the first few to come to mind. These people only enrich the site and make it a valuable resource for gambling (and other things) on the internets.

So, I publish the table, and what do I get? Criticism. One from Paco, who himself plenty of meaningless tables that I generally don't criticize. Fine.

Another set from WongBo, who stated (in my words) that the grid was wrong and stated how they were different from his own experience. WongBo, feel free to walk through each casino in AC and publish your table game count by casino. Until then, the best I have to go on, and the best that this site has to go on is the monthly revenue reports from the gaming commission in New Jersey itself. Midi-bac is not listed on the revenue report as it is lumped in with either Baccarat or mini-bacarrat.

So, yeah, I was miffed that my research was criticized. Perhaps I was already in a bad mood.

I spend alot of time on this forum. Much of this time is spent researching and trying to enrich the site overall. I've done (and been paid for) hotel reviews. I've been respectful to our delusional roulette/craps advantage players (mrjjj), our resident right wingers (AZ, JerryLogan), and our crumudgeony old guy (Bob -- thanks for your support, btw). I've been with the forum from the start and have tried to keep an open mind and be respectful to most.

That said, is "screw off everyone" a reason to ban a long time member with no warnings in the past? I don't think so. The Wizard and I of course disagree. The only thing I can think of is that he was quite offended and surprised by the comment which usually doesn't come from me and that he wanted to set an example. Fine. My feeling is that a warning was probably justified, but it's his site.

I'll just remember the ban the next time the Wizard is looking for information on license plates or someone else is looking for data.

hey boymimbo, i am glad you are back, i was not offended by your comment and was not in favor of your restriction.
i am sorry you took my observation as criticism, it was not my intention to criticize your effort.
i was merely pointing out that there seemed to be a discrepancy in the totals for baccarat.
when data is inaccurate it unfortunately has the effect of undermining confidence.
your report was not sourced and i think that also undermines people's confidence in accuracy.
i do appreciate your effort and your other posts, i would hope that you not take things so personally;
it is just a fact of life that people are skeptical of unsourced material that is contrary to their own observations.
it is not a judgment on you or your efforts

Welcome back. I don't expect an apology, and I'm not issuing one either. However, I hope that you're not too mad, and we can get past this in time. Yes, I was quite surprised and shocked at the comment. I'm also not big on warnings, and seldom issue them. My philosophy of policing the site is more like a cop who picks a random place and time to do a stake-out for speeders. I know others have done much worse and never been suspended, but I don't have the time and energy to read every post. In fact, I read about 5% of them only.

I also am not big giving otherwise good members a longer leash. If anything, more is expected of them, and thus they have a shorter one. I'll also say that I concede yours was a borderline case, and maybe I was in a bad mood that day too. I understand I won't be getting a Nunavut license plate from you for my birthday next month, but hopefully we can laugh about this sometime. If it is of any consolation, I banned JimMorrison, and he is a personal friend of mine.

I had to give BuzzPaff three days for personal insults, profanity, and general ungentlemanly behavior in the Career Advice thread. After I felt I handled the BoyMimbo suspension badly I sent Buzz a warning by PM. He asked to be banned for three days, which I thought was big of him, so I am doing so.

Let this be a reminder that gentlemanly behavior is expected of all here, especially of the long-timers, who should be setting a good example. Also, using punctuation marks to thinly veil profanity, especially if done as an insult, does not cut it with me.

I didn't know that. I was going to suspend him anyway. Buzz is has a long track record as a good member, but he seems to be a different person last week. Hopefully he will behave better upon returning.

In other news I gave i0r0retardod 30 days for this post.

i0r0retardod was just upgraded from 30 days to the nuclear option, and he knows why.

Let me just say that if any member doesn't like how I police this site, tough! Nobody is forcing you to stay. There are plenty of other forums out there.

I can't say I'm surprised. I can say I've a pretty good guess as to why.

I didn't know that. I was going to suspend him anyway. Buzz is has a long track record as a good member, but he seems to be a different person last week. Hopefully he will behave better upon returning.

In other news I gave i0r0retardod 30 days for this post.



Of course I do get a kick out of a certain definition.......a person here is a 'good member' just as long they go along (agree) with the masses. Individual thought/ideas will be dealt with swiftly.

I'm naive when it comes to forum technology, but can't someone just sign up with a different user name and use some sort of IP trick if they were so inclined?

I think he's over-stressed about his presentation in the SHFL Focus Group. Or about how the game will perform against the competition.

We all love a good argument, and there's nothing wrong with that.

It's when the argument itself turns ugly that the problems occur.

Yeah, but generally, only spammers will go thru the hoops of getting around that. Normal members will take their lumps and wait out the suspension.

Not true! If everyone here says that 2+2=4 and I said that 2+2=fish, I'm quite sure that I'd be mocked:-)
