Sweet Andy / an>roid.v2


This morning (CET), Andy went on a spree of a special sort. It is so fascinating, that I must make detailed report of it.

Look at his posts:


In Insane Ramblings

Hah, the surest sign of insanity is when one starts talking to oneself.

::cringe:
Herd them up, tie them up, shut them up and throw every last one of them into the Grand Canyon.

RosaMagika and all the women behind her.

In I Hate Mothers

EDIT: Yep, the prima donna's deleted every damn post ze made. Sort of... sad, really.

::cringe:
Herd them up, tie them up, shut them up and throw every last one of them into the Grand Canyon.

BigBlueHead and all the women behind her.

Heh... Snorts with laughter...

::cringe:
Herd them up, tie them up, shut them up and throw every last one of them into the Grand Canyon.

Bells and all the women behind her.

In Wanderer's advice to "artists"

Such pretty words, Wanderer.
Why not just be clearer though?

::cringe:
Herd them up, tie them up, shut them up and throw every last one of them into the Grand Canyon.

Fenris Wolf and all the women behind her.

In On Itchyology: Sharks from Goldfish

I told this boy exactly what a sycophant he was and why

::cringe:
Herd them up, tie them up, shut them up and throw every last one of them into the Grand Canyon.

Gendanken and all the women behind her.

In Gendanken's Banning

Gendy generally takes discussion very seriously and only rips through a thread when the flatulence is ripe for the matchstick test.

Lucysnow and all the women behind her.

In The price of respect

bloody

In Schopenhauer: On reading and books

Almost as important to thinking clearly is writing clearly, and almost as important to writing clearly is reading rightly.

Xev and all the women behind her.

In What is Art?

Here the art is successful only within experiential limits, where the specific type of language used, the imagery projected and the ideas expressed can only be comprehended if there is a commonality of experience between the artist and the audience.

Wanderer and all the women behind her.

(There could be more.)



Andy, what's the matter?

 

[Arditezza]

The Grand Canyon is a bad idea. There is a chance that the last hundred thousand you threw in would survive.

Maybe he wasn't breastfed as a child or loved by his mum, thus his hatred of women.

Nice one.




But, don't worry. I'm sure he'll delete them all eventually. That's his modus operandi.
Good idea to capture them this way. I captured a couple in the relevant threads. But this is better. I didn't realize he posted quite so many. He was a busy little bee.

I wonder... Throw them in to the Grand Canyon brings to mind "Into the marshes with 'em." I wonder if this is a backlash against Xev's thread on forum dynamics perhaps? Maybe not.

an>roid.v2 has been banned for 7 days for this. Ordinarily, he would have received a warning before this happens, but he has elected not to receive PMs or emails.

Please report any further instances of spam from this poster. Next time, the ban will be permanent.

I have to say that I didn't feel offended by what Andy said.

And now it all looks as if he got banned because of me, because I started this thread (he has deleted some of the posts in the meantime).


I just wanted to make room for him to speak his mind, for he obviously is not happy here -- hence this thread.

I am willing to talk to him.

 

[invert_nexus]

I agree. It wasn't a banning offense. Especially not a seven-day ban. But, I suppose it was because he didn't allow communications towards himself. Pm's or emails. Surely there could be some other way of contacting him? Forcing him into contact? I would think a mod would be able to pm regardless of the user options. At least Porfiry should be able to I would think.

 

[James R]

It's not a matter of somebody being offended. All members who have been here long enough should know not to cross-post. And he did it about 9 times.

And now it all looks as if he got banned because of me, because I started this thread (he has deleted some of the posts in the meantime).

The deletions were mine, not his. And the same action would have been taken regardless of this thread, provided the moderators had noticed the multiple posts.

I just wanted to make room for him to speak his mind, for he obviously is not happy here -- hence this thread.

If he isn't happy here, now he has a chance to go away and re-evaluate whether he really wants to post here or not.

I am re-thinking the seven days, which may be a little too long. How long a ban do you think would be appropriate?

 

[invert_nexus]

I'd say three days would be more than enough. Maybe even just a one day ban seeing as how he would have been warned if you had been able to contact him.

 

[Athelwulf]

I agree with invert with the one-day banning. Just tell him that's a warning. Then next time, you can maybe go for 7 days.

 

[Kunax]

7 day ban was ok I think, he fucked up the forum and for that he was "punished", and a 24 hour ban is pointless

 

[James R]

Ok, the ban has been reduced to three days. (2 days to go.)

Alright.

If he isn't happy here, now he has a chance to go away and re-evaluate whether he really wants to post here or not.

Still, I think he should be given a chance. But I understand your position.

I am re-thinking the seven days, which may be a little too long. How long a ban do you think would be appropriate?

Hm. Three days?

The problem is that he had disabled the option to be contacted via PM or email. As this is optional, we cannot hold him to it.


But I suggest to make it obligatory: As default, all members here should have PM and email enabled (email to be reached by moderators).

Posting here is a privilege, not a right. And in order to hold on to the site rules (regarding warnings, in this particular case), a member has to be reachable, at least for the moderators.
Or those who wish to be unreachable should not be here in the first place.

 

[Kunax]

PM's and emails only work if they are read, I douth android does thats or laugth at them at most, I also think he is perfectly aware of what he is doing and there for the 7 day ban was in order, next is byebye.
