If you read and understand the guidelines posted, you shouldn't have any trouble with points or being banned. There are only two forbidden topics on this board that I know of, Yssup talked about one of them and accused another member of partaking in said topic without any substantiation.

I see some people seek unprovoked verbal attacks on providers here, as I pointed out, seemingly without any moderation that is obvious on the board. It appears that some people can accuse past moderators of succumbing to sexual favors from a provider, which could cast doubts on the ethics of other moderators, particularly if one person, who constantly touts he provides "side benefits", acts as if he is "bullet-proof" in regards to his actions on this board.

No sense in beating around the bush, Whispers does bring up a lot of topics that get under people's skin. He also brings up topics that are usually talked about in back channels, those things that members who are part of cliques get to know and take advantage of. He tends to make a lot of that information public knowledge. Is that good or bad? Depends on who you ask. Some of it hurts providers or other members, but is the truth and those who were not part of the right cliques benefit. Then, as I said, it might hurt providers' business or members' reputation.

As for being bullet-proof, Whispers has been banned. Once recently that I'm aware of. Compare that to me. I get into my share of "discussions" and even a few flames but have not accrued a point. I do understand the guidelines and even break them on occasion, but I also understand that most moderators will give leeway when an argument goes past a certain point, once the other side decides to cross certain lines, or between certain individuals who have had history. While you see Whispers having touted fringe benefits to others, including mods, I have no benefits to offer them aside from buying a round on the chance that I run into them. So the perception that you have of him being immune to punitive actions on the board are not true. It is more that he and a few others understand the guidelines here and can toe the line quite well.

I have been reading, and often enjoying, the postings on these boards for about a year, and IMHO Yssup is one of the funniest and fairest posters you have.I really think you have done a great job, overall. But please don't let one "Man Who Would Be King" and his henchmen turn it into a memory, like ASPD. I'm sure I have broken some rule, and await your response.

While I obviously disagree with your opinion of Yassup, I can see your concern for the entertainment value of the board going down when a prolific poster you like to read gets banned. If you think Yssup is even marginally intelligent, you should believe that he understands the rules here and knew when he broke them. As my guess is that he was banned for accumulated points, it was not one thing he did that caused this ban, but a series of things that added up to it. None of it came suddenly, and he knew where he stood each day as he saw his points total increase and took his chances. Whispers and his "henchmen" have no power to make anyone here type anything they don't want to type.

I really wish you'd stop talking at some point and bring the cock. I'm outta state for the next week but I WILL be back in Austin on 7/10ish soooo prepare my little yellow bitch. Start doing cock push ups or something.

XOXOX Love Always,

If he is banned, how will we know if he dumps every day?

By reading the Statesman, of course. Duh!

Whispers · 06-30-2011, 11:14 AM

At the moment I would bet he is filling up the owners email boxes with tearful notes......

When that does not work he will take the humpty route.... he lacks all integrity and is just that kind of wuss

Spacemtn · 06-30-2011, 12:03 PM

It ain't nice to pick on folks when their back is turned and they can't fight back.

Let's get back on topic (which is not RAT's gramps BM's)!

Priceless!

I think after a month I'll need to start a thread and ask for some leniency from the court to lift part of his ban and reinstate just his Spider Hole access so you and he can really talk about what you think of each other.

dearhunter · 07-04-2011, 09:40 AM

sniff sniff.......I miss me some yupps in the Spider Hole.....I'm just saying.

sixxbach · 07-04-2011, 09:48 AM

nope, that's crap. He needs to stay banned for however long he is scheduled to be. If his ban is lifted, then anyone else banned should be let back on too......

Sixx

Whispers · 07-04-2011, 12:54 PM

Come on now Sixx..... In all honesty... after a month..... letting him back in the Spider Hole and nowhere else........... That's a pretty suitable punishment.... He got so flustered there from hearing the never ending truth and losing point after point in debating that it carried over out here and led to his melt down....

He demonizes us..... But he is so much fun to play with......

Vyt · 07-04-2011, 01:46 PM

If we can't stop talking about people who can't respond, as Spacemtn pointed out earlier and was completely ignored, the thread will be closed, by one of the four moderators listed in the topic.

We talk about a lot of people on this board that can't respond. We talk about people that have left us.... We talk about people that have never found us......

In the Locker Room we talk about Providers that can never respond to us because they supposedly are not allowed to read the posts....

Just curious.... Where is the rule that says we cannot talk about Banned Members?

Vyt · 07-04-2011, 02:06 PM

To nitpick it would be that the thread is offtopic.

Ganging up on people who can't respond isn't specifically against the rules, no. It is pretty low, though.

That's OK.... I can do low.....

But I'll start a separate thread about him... Come on now... You KNOW he's out there reading this......EVENTUALLY.. we will hear from him... He's probably writing his responses offline in a text editor......

Don't you feel the slightest bit obligated to help entertain him?
