Discussion II about the Suspension List
Quote: WizardQuote: MDawgMichael99000 is this you and your posts?

If so, that might explain the negativity of your posts here.
This matter was taken under reconsideration by the moderators.
Posting personal information of the identities of other members is considered the most serious of rule violations.
Per the Martingale policy, Mdawg is suspended for two months.
Quote: DRichHow does a person that is suspended know they are suspended?
On the DT forum I no longer have the buttons to create a post or replay to a post. Does this mean I am suspended?
I posted the reason here at DT. Normally I probably wouldn't have suspended on that at DT, which has a looser standard for personal insults, but I got a complaint. If it makes you feel better, you were in DT jail with two others suspended at the same time. Hope there are not hard feelings; you are overall an outstanding and valuable member. When a complaint is filed, I have to either suspend or explain why I'm not, which I've learned with give the complainer the perceived right to misbehave to the same degree. We mods are put to tough calls all the time.
Currently DT does not have a suspension list, after seeing how it divides the forum here. However, one can also see the benefits of one as evidenced by this situation. Maybe I'll post a poll about it at DT.

I absolutely have no hard feelings. Maybe you could have something on the screen where the buttions were informing the person they were suspended. Like I said this is my first one and I wasn;t even sure if I was suspended.
Quote: EvenBobThere isn't. Make a rule that no discussion
of suspensions are allowed. That would
be great.
gets hijacked or sidetracked about what got said or why did that happen or whatever. So this thread (and the old one) are intended to collect that discussion instead of ruining numerous threads. However, that is the sole purpose of THIS thread, and it, in turn, should be kept at least mostly to that topic.

What an expert of the old thread! On his second post no less!

First week of March, I think. You can check the suspension list under Rules for the status of any suspended member.

I haven’t checked his thread for a while. What was he suspended for?
I know he was warned about divulging personal info of others...but that was a warning.
What caused his suspension?

I hope he comes back with more chip porn.

It was a rare reversal, where we decided to change it from a warning to a suspension. He has been riding the Martingale policy, thus the long term.

I don’t blame you. The intention of it was clearly done to embarrass the member. That’s a form of bullying in my book.

I concur. Your avatar is an illustration by Roger Genn of Hillary Clinton. It's not offensive, but I reckon it's outside of the no politics guideline. Please change it.

Agreed.
What a sad pathetic joke this place is turning into.

Quote: billryanSo I got three days suspension for stating the right to vote is priceless. Somehow, that was considered political.

You can make a convincing argument that is not political? I’d like to read that!

Clever. I'm starting to think that in the future emoji will become the official written language of the world. Humans will have gone from hieroglyphics to letters and back to hieroglyphics. Devo huh?

I think it’s a zero tolerance policy as far as political posts are concerned. It doesn’t have to be an argumentative topic.
Hard to spin a voting post in any other way than political

Not that I'm agreeing or disagreeing with your suspension, but this forum is definitely one of the most drama-filled forums I've ever been a part of.... lol

You stated that, “It means he can vote again. That's priceless.” This is not the same as stating that “the right to vote is priceless.” It could easily be interpreted that the fact that the prior convicted felon could now vote was a priceless turn of events.

If you allow a thread titled ‘betting on the election’ and don’t allow discussion about the candidates you are betting on that is plain stupid. No ifs ands or buts.
His house.....his rules.
Any time a site is moderated, there is always going to be judgement calls probably not applied consistently. Nature of moderated forums.

Thank you, I find that writing in emojis is amusing and keeps things a little lighter lol.

That’s not actually a denial.
I personally will take any heat for this one.
Glad I wasn't the only one that thought that. Florida resident or perhaps they live close to Mdawg?Quote: Wizardin suspiciously fake bad English.
I also share Mike's skepticism about Mendoza's "bad English."
Quote: JoemanYeah, I always thought it curious that Mendoza would show up whenever Mdawg got suspended. In fact, IIRC, he registered just 2 or 3 days into Mdawg's first suspension.

I knew it immediately. But never was interested in a series of never ending threads to discuss it. I love Mike's explanation.

My baseball analogy is that he crossed The Mendoza Line.

I understand they're from different stories, but my mind always wants that question to be answered by the title track.
Quote: billryanDoes anybody really know what time it is? Does anyone really care?
I always know the time because I am on the computer but what day it is is much tougher now that I am not working.
Darkoz got suspended at same time as mdawg in that mdawg thread but his name isnt on the suspension list for that date.

Ok. I'll double check. My clerical error if so, thanks.
Edit: weird. I'm sure I put them both on there at the same time. I'll fix it.
Doesn't matter what you call it, but calling it the Chinese Virus isn't making this happen.
China has been used to having these problems, it was them who let the genie out of the bottle. We should be angry at China, so to be reminded of their greed as the cause of a worldwide pandemic is fine. The world will reduce their dependence on China, less we forget.
The irony is economic dependence prevents wars, kind of difficult to be at war when one country has the bullets and the other has the guns.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Quote: rxwineWhy don't you go over to Diversity Tomorrow and make whatever statement you want. Political controversy is allowed over there. It's also been told over and over that that's the place to go to. I think the only controversy over here allowed is generally on gambling.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
You see evidence right before your eyes about you and others being played and you are offended. The fact is, the virus came from China, China has blamed us, and it's not political to mention the fact, it's political how people are using nazi tactics to silence and hide this.
Is it political to even use the word American now? So if this was the American virus, then there would be the entire world beating up anyone of a different race because somehow they are American? American power, American business, American whatever, that's racist.
Pazuzu!
Anyone saying Chinese Virus is political is racist. There is no such thing as a Chinese race at all.
Why is this even posted in this thread about Suspensions, unless you want to save the mods time in suspending you?Quote: onenickelmiracleNo such thing as Chinese, I think it's political to be offended and not to say Chinese Virus.

Five-day suspension for making a political statement and hijacking.
