Discussion about the Suspension List
Quote: RaleighCrapsA forum where everyone was the same as me would be a very boring place. Everyone, even people whose style I may not care for, have worthwhile things to say, and sometimes, egads, I might even learn something.
Placing someone on Ignore just robs me of an opportunity to learn. (If nothing else, at least one can learn what not to say). LOL
So who's up for inviting mkl back? I would be.
I can understand your point when we are both in the same yard, but if I am in Mississippi and you are in Oregon, I would pull that $5 out of the appropriate orfice ans shove it down your throat.
Quote: pacomartinSally,
In your enthusiasm I think you got a little carried away. The Wizard has always acknowledged other people's assistance by name. He is very scrupulous about that. In fact his website still states:
Acknowledgement: My thanks to BruceZ for this help with this problem.
I sincerely appreciate the times you have found errors in my work.
Monday morning quarterbacking is always easy but I wonder if Sally's concerns might have been better addressed in a private message to the Wizard.

I agree with Sally's method. This is a forum and Mike takes constructive criticism.
Quote: MustangsallyNo wonder guys like goatcabin, Math Extremist have all stopped commenting on Craps threads.
The math challenged members have all taken over the Wizard Of Vegas.
Hey. I'm math-challenged. Nobody told me I took over stuff here.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
From this day on, the official language of Wizard of Vegas will be Swedish!
SILENCE!
In addition to that, all forum members will be required to change their underwear every half-hour! Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check.
Furthermore, all forum members' children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!
He will rake in the $$$ from all the visits to this site that end up putting money into Bodog. "
I beg to differ. The Wiz will be a small fish in a very large ocean. Hope I am wrong !

Okej, jag talar inte svenska men jag antar att vi har maskiner för det nu. Jag är inte säker på hur man skall närma underkläder regeln dock, med tanke på min förkärlek för kjolar.

Hey Heather, that's all Greek to me . - Biet har gadd men också honung.

Google translation: Okay, I do not speak Swedish but I guess we have machines for that now. I'm not sure how to approach the underwear rule, however, given my penchant for skirts.
I wonder how the Wizard would handle an insult in a foreign language. That wasn't an insult, just wondering.
Quote: Mission146I wonder how the Wizard would handle an insult in a foreign language.
The rules apply in all languages.

Surely an exception can be made for EBONICS ?
Yo suspension and git Sheniquah's ass back ova' heeah.
Quote: 1BBSo who's up for inviting mkl back? I would be.
I would be too. The guy was opinionated, but that's what's makes him worth reading. Maybe I agreed with him mostly (which is why I also think EvenBob is one of our greatest contributors) so his posts kept me coming back. If you didn't like mkl, then block him, but don't keep reading and then whining about his posts. The whole JerryLogan/mkl feud was entertaining and kept me logging in. I kinda miss it. We don't have anything like that now.

I think that was a logic trap, if you wear underwear on the outside, it no longer is underwear.

What does eleven have to do with it?
Quote: buzzpaffI just put suspension into an online Ebonics translator and this is the result.
Not sure if you thought I was writing to you; it was just a general observation. You seem to take this stuff in the proper fun loving spirit, from where l stand anyhow. Folks tend to get all excited about their Internet, it's just ephemera.
By the way, those "indulgence" license plates sold for $4,538.88.
I assume you can easily tell the IP address from which a post is generated, and one would logically conclude that if two messages have come from the same IP address, under different names, then the same person is using Multiple Identies.
OK, but WHAT IF two posters share the same computer, e.g. husband and wife, or two brothers?
Kind of unfair to ban both when / if it was an unknowing action.
Not that I think this happens, but hey, it's a strange, strange world..
So, "What if>"
For example, I have my home IP, work IP, and wherever I may be on my iPhone (if so inclined). Also, I deal in a poker league several days per week. I ALWAYS bring my laptop with me and log on. Some of the bars we play in have multiple WiFi access points, and which gets used can change based on conditions.
Lastly, what IP shows up for users on SmartPhones that are using the cellular data network rather than WiFi? Is it one IP for all ATT cell data users? That could create multiples right there.
Surely Mike would not bust someone based solely on his belief that their writing styles are the same.
Quote: DJTeddyBearI'm pretty sure The Wiz, and other forum administrators, use the IP address sparingly. For one, the reason you suggest. For another, members can legitimately be using multiple IP addresses in a single day.

A user having multiple IPs is not an issue, multiple users having the same IP is.

I haven't checked it out personally, but I doubt that's how it works for reasons that would be boring (for most) to go into.
What I meant was, since users can have mutiple IPs - and some of them public/shared WiFi - it increases the chances of users hitting the same IP.Quote: MonkeyMonkeyA user having multiple IPs is not an issue, multiple users having the same IP is.
Quote: MrVOK, so what gives the Multiple Poster away then, if not use of the same IP address?

I tried to PM you, but you have them blocked.
But there are ways.
Quote: FarFromVegasI tried to PM you, but you have them blocked.
Whoa, I went to "preferences" and saw that the default was NOT to allow PMs.
Didn't know that.
PMs are now enabled ...
Quote: DJTeddyBearWhat I meant was, since users can have mutiple IPs - and some of them public/shared WiFi - it increases the chances of users hitting the same IP.
I wouldn't worry about it, this isn't google. This is a small-town-type board, privately owned and managed. The issue only comes up when there is abuse, and said users tend to be exposed as trolls in a short time since people who do multiple IDs kind of have, well, real personality issues. Advice to all is avoid analysis paralysis, go with the "Supreme Court definition of pornography."

They'd have went for 4.8K had they not been charging for shipping.
Did I miss something today?
Quote: ten2winWhy is Nareed on suspension?
Did I miss something today?
I just looked at Nareed's posts today, what was said
that got suspended again? For how long?
Quote: EvenBobI just looked at Nareed's posts today, what did he say
that got him suspended again? For how long?
The suspension list has details. And it's "she."
of nareed that way so I slip up sometimes.
Me too, but her suspension is voluntary. Hopefully someday she will change her mind ?
Edit: the other Suspension thread has the answer, indeed it was a PM:
"Rule violations by PM", gets Nareed 30 days
Quote: WizardI hate to step on somebody else's post, but the reason given for Nareed's suspension has been changed, including in the quote above.

Quote: DeMangoAnd this is all about an offer to dinner to HB that was rescinded?
It was dasterdly circumstances , somebody has to pay.
If you are on suspension, are you suspended from attending official WOV events? Inquiring minds want to know.
(Eventually the calendars will align and I will attend an event. Of course, eventually I will probably earn a suspension too)
Quote: FinsRuleImportant question!!!!

Just disguise yourself as EvenBob. LOL
Now you're just begging someone to go postal.Quote: FinsRuleIf you are on suspension, are you suspended from attending official WOV events? Inquiring minds want to know.

Ooh, another question! If someone insults someone at a WOV event, can that insult translate to a suspension? Wow, I'm full of good questions this morning!

If you just THINK a member is an idiot, can you be suspended??? :P

We would all be gone nuclear option.

Nareed can be reinstated today, just give Mike a
set of Vatican plates. He said its a get out of jail
free card.

Fin, judging by most members, and especially me, at that time a suspension would be the least of your worries !
