    I noticed @shootER locked the help desk thread without it ever offering a satisfactory answer or even any anwser at all other than "because". It just goes to show how deep the rot is and why the current mods need a shake up. This is pathetic to the extreme.

    "Take it to the Red Room," sounds like a a valid reason to close that thread.

    What can possibly be said that hasn't been said (and usually goes ignored) a hundred times?

    I've been on record as being the one who told John to ban the fucker, but you and you bitch buddies prefer to autistic screech about John being evil incarnate.

    I've also said the lock out of the entire board was a mistake that we didn't know anything about until gtardo went around the staff to stir the pot and we started getting dual account warnings for long time posters. As @Tererun pointed out, everyone involved would have been banned on any other board.

    You have two new admins who were not involved with that decision and who rightfully pointed out that Gul, shootER and myself went about the situation in the wrong way that have decided not to let him back in and who haven't made much in the way of big decisions in the last year since it went down.

    John is not staff.

    Gul left the board entirely.

    Chup refuses to return because we won't get rid of you.

    What else do you want?

    Chup had declared he was going to leave the board a dozen times before that none of which had anything to do with me so forgive me if I don't buy his most recent drama excuse.

    As for what I want? Unban GTurner as he never broke any rule. I have mentioned that many times so it is surprising you still don't get it. Hell, he probably won't even come back and after how he was abused who can blame him? The gesture of finally, belatedly, doing the right thing should be made though.

    I am still not hearing an argument. I did hear a claim he contributed nothing but that is easily refuted by his non-Red Room threads as Captain X has pointed out. His red room threads often did get weird (like with the Ebola thread) but I am still not hearing a valid reason for why he was permabanned. There is a lot of deflection and "No, I don't want to" but no "this is the rule he broke which is why we needed to permaban him".

    See, if leaving over offense is your solution, you should have left instead of banning gturner.

    Your actions show that you don’t really consider that a legitimate course of action though.

    However, if you leaving means we can have gturner back, I’m game.

    You remind me of the people who say anyone who disagrees with Trump should leave the U.S.. Some people choose to simply advocate for better policies and that is a good thing both wrt Trump and wrt the unjustified banning of GTurner.

    That doesn't mean I hate this place or what to leave it but it does mean I think the mods can and should do better, to actually follow the rules they themselves wrote, and help agitate for better performance when folks fail to reach what should be the fair standard for all.

    See, here's the deal: you want a reason that you consider valid. You have no stake in the board, you don't work to improve it in any way, yet you want it to conform to your demands. Just like ol' apostle above you, nothing short of total compliance to your demands will be considered. The board owners owe you nothing. You've been given your answer time and time again. You don't like the answer. That's fine, but you've moved to harassing board members and just being an asshole in general. Nothing you say now will ever get you what you want. So either live with it, and carry on with your life such as it is, or go elsewhere, if you feel you cannot tolerate the fact that gturner was banned, and find this board unwilling to listen to your demands. Those are your options.

    Except for the fact I have, yanno, left message boards when it became obvious that I no longer enjoyed being there.

    And I've seen far too many boards get poisoned over one or two shitstirring posters who will skirt any and every line put up. The most notorious one is the reason Wordforge was created.

    As it's been pointed out, if we wanted to kick out people for being unpopular, your ass would've been tossed a long time ago. You haven't exactly been Homecoming Queen material on this board, even before being a Bill Maher """""Democrat""""". :marathon:

    Agreed. Look what Enterpriser managed to do to TBBS before they got rid of him. Sure, he was eventually tossed, but the damage had been done. As for bannings, yeah, several posters here would have been long gone if dissent was the only reason required to remove someone. Hell, I know the names of the posters who shared my Blue Room information during the whole bullshit involving the Violet Room. I haven't told the Admins (sorry guys), but I know who you are, and instead of giving them your names, I hard deleted the threads where my information was shared, and decided the posters involved were just making a stupid mistake in the heat of the moment. I hate banning people, I hate it when people are banned, but I had no problem and still have no problem, with gturner being banned. He was awful for this board, and he would have kept dragging it down. In the months that he has been gone, discussion has vastly improved.

    To put it another way, a little alcohol is fine to take the edge off, and to have a good time. Too much alcohol and you're just killing the body. Gturner was too much.

    I'm not staff anymore. I can place his ass on ignore now.

    But that still doesn't mean that having someone who spent the bulk of his time spinning his wheels in place should be tolerated. Wordforge has not ever been the free-for-all Troll Kingdom was....and I say "was" because Eggs Mayonnaise over there has put a stop to that.

    Fair enough, he won't get unbanned but it really is fair game to point out that he was unfairly banned without breaking any rule so at least be honest enough to admit the rules really don't mean anything and are just an excuse you use when it is convenient, John. That would be refreshing in its honesty.

    It is just going to be a forever bitch. Don't worry about it. Really you guys went above and beyond and it is clear if gturner was to be unbanned he would use the opportunity to do worse things and disrupt the board bore than he bad. I just cannot believe it is so clear that gtardo thought he was going to get a bunch of people in trouble for hacking his account and the admins saw through the stupid troll and banned his ass for doing some really stupid shit. Any time Turner was to have a problem in the future he could just say someone else has his info and hacked his account so you cannot punish him. This is why you don't allow users to share accounts and passwords. It never ends well and here everyone was logging onto gturners account (I am only referring to all the people who did) like a bunch of fucking morons.

    The mods here did everything the could to deal with the situation aside from let back in a crazy guy who is bragging about how much worse he would be if they let him back. Besides, it is not like no one knows where gtardo is. If you want to hear his blabbering tk is easy enough to go to. It is not like he is ever going to be banned from that place. Do you know why no one is really moving over there? Because you all want to bitch but you really don't give a damned about gtardo to begin with.

    Dinner sure doesn’t. He misses someone to bash Muslims with, and that’s about it.

    Poodle will take any excuse to put a dick in his mouth, so no surprise there, either.

    Nearly everyone involved in the initial decision is off the staff or left the board entirely, so I dunno why the screeching is still going on.
