Discussion III about the Suspension List
I take it you're not a fan of public caning either.Quote: MichaelBluejayMy feeling is that all discipline should be handled privately, not publicly.

Exactly.Quote: Marcusclark66Who is Nathan?

This is an honest post and not an attempt to slide the daily suspensions past any and all moderators.
Quote: AxelWolfAre you serious? How is this trolling?
It's not just that post. He has been a chronic complainer and critic for months, perhaps years.
As I have said before, you're allowed to disagree with management decisions, but if you do it over and over and over, for months or years, it becomes trolling.
I predict he will do it again within days of his return and I will be ready to respond.
That's a fair and acceptable explanation.Quote: WizardIt's not just that post. He has been a chronic complainer and critic for months, perhaps years.

Thank you.
I prefer that grievances be taken to me or another moderator privately. I also think this is the gentlemanly thing to do.

He then said he would be discussing certain changes that the Biden plan will cause with and I quote “ The Wizard of Odds “. After a few commercials and Chris going over the infrastructure bill, Chris then said he to discuss public support for these bills is the Wizard of Odds Harry Enters .not sure of last name but that is what it sounded like

I've looked over several of your posts and don't believe you're a real person. Nuke.
ETA: never mind, cross post with Wizard.

Would an AI bot be so specific with posts? Below is one post that is highly suspect that a bot isn't being used imo. This is a response to the OP looking for surveillance video to help him find who stole his car.
Seems too spot on and direct to be an AI bot. He mentioned the voucher being found and the fact the thief was given up by a cohort already in jail. If that's an AI bot then my knowledge of the technology is way behind.
Unfortunately, I can't give you that information as it would break privacy rules. You could simply reverse the nuke and send him a private message and see how they respond.Quote: WizardQuote: AxelWolf]I can tell you for 100% certain it's not a bot.

I'll just say that... in my opinion, this person is actually an asset to the forum and the gaming community.

I've read all of FastEddie's posts. At times I suspected that he was a sock of an ex-member, but his posts were generally on topic or on par with posts from other members. Yes, he was somewhat sarcastic and borderline critical of some topics.
No way in Hades was the account an AI Bot. The sophistication of his posts was just far too great.
I also accept that if AxelWolf testifies that he has strong evidence that FastEddie is not a bot, but that confidentiality stops him presenting it, then I'm inclined to believe him. Though I suggest that AW could present such evidence to you or me in ABSOLUTE confidence that it would go no further.

I am going to take you at your word and un-nuke him. I hope to see some more substantive and on-topic posts from him.
The one day served I'll file under hijacking.

He's playing in the WoV Picks Game?
Just don't ban me, because I have to run the Picks Game. I think I'll just play it safe and not post for the next fifteen weeks other than linking to my articles. Oh, and the necessary posts in the Picks Game threads, of course.
Quote: Mission146What's going on these last few days, anyway? The way this seems to be going, people are going to start getting banned on the grounds of not being banned yet.

This site will be lesser for it, without your posts.
That was super strange to me. AS I can see what Wiz was thinking, his posts are weird, but it's even weirder a bot would sign up and participate in the picks game. LoL

Especially with how nitty I am about the way in which the Picks are formatted. It would take a highly sophisticated bot to get that right!

I appreciate you saying so, but I have very little in the way of highly improbable stories. And, some of the ones that I do have, I wouldn't post unless I had someone to corroborate them, anyway. Either way, these would all be for low stakes and would be uninteresting, to most.
So, if he is an AI bot, then its pretty impressive.
Don't sell yourself short, Mission. You make some of the most thoughtful and well-reasoned posts here. You are Must See TV, so to speak!Quote: Mission146Quote: unJonQuote: Mission146What's going on these last few days, anyway?

Thank you for saying so! Just so you know, I get an E-Mail anytime there is an article comment and try to respond to all of them. I really need to get back to 2-3 articles per week, here, but I have a really big project that I've been working on for one of our other sites.

I'm willing to make an exception for you that if you do get banned, either I'll make an exception and let you post only on the contest or I'll administer it myself while you're away.

I actually appreciate that quite much, thank you! I must admit that I have a bit of a quick trigger sometimes when Administration duties don't require me to keep myself under tight control.

I think I’ve been suspended 3 times, but maybe it’s 4.

Wiz said he was going to suspend me once, but he forgot to turn me red. I decided I would voluntarily not post for three days. So was I ever really suspended?

Please, just one allowable sentence.
If you just provide the words we can say, then I will use them, and maybe others will too. And we will have your blessing that this language is okay and pre-approved.
There are liars, scammers, frauds and delusional braggers posting on this site today. I look forward to knowing how to respond to them.
Quote: teliot
Please, just one allowable sentence.link to original post
My current favorite is technically two sentences, "Fantastic! That's incredible!"
At least one moderator has suggested that habitually "following" another member and replying to every dubious claim with that will get me in some trouble under bullying/thumbtacking/duplicate post rules, but occasional use should be appropriate.
Perhaps you can adapt the sentiment?
Quote: teliotMods, rather than negotiate what the meaning of an insult is and worry that I might cross a line, can you give me a sentence I can write and not get suspended, word for word please, when I believe someone is a liar, scammer, fraud or delusional bragger?

You may say, "I don't believe you."
Using this site to sell betting systems or commit other such fraud is one of the most serious offenses. We welcome reports of such behavior by PM and encourage spying to help uncover it, in cases where the scamming is not overt.
Quote: WizardYou may say, "I don't believe you."
Dear Pondering In Vegas:
How about using the phrase "I can't believe that happened"? That phrase can be viewed as astonishment rather than challenging someone's credibility.
Best wishes,

I read this post and had to check and see if this was a sock of mine. Crazy morning.
