Jeff Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 2 hours ago, Trifletraxor said: My mistake, forgot that person, so my statement was incorrect. Concerning the "secrecy", I'm not sure whether it is useful or unuseful, but my thinking is that publicly stating that a member has gotten a warning (or in the case we're talking about a temp ban) does not neccesarily reduce tempers. I agree fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedopon Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I was the person who got a temp ban. It had nothing to do with the thing that is mentioned in this thread. I countered something Jeff said in the BRP general area and was given a temp ban for trolling. There were no death threats, just an analogy using feces (related to https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-7459963/Scientists-try-fail-make-KNIFE-frozen-faeces.html). I was not given the opportunity to explain my post, just given a temp ban. I do not condone threats in any form. We are a community of people talking about pretend things. I am only posting here because I feel it is better to move on and not carry baggage in a place where people gather to talk about pretend things. Cheers.

Following one or two warning points one is restricted from posting, but not from logging in (for a day or a week). Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest.

Thalaba Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 That guy that hounded @soltakss years ago and even impersonated him? Can't remember his name. Somehow I don't think that's what was meant by 'the gold old days' though.

RosenMcStern Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 But I do remember it because he impersonated me, too. I think he is still around and behaves as a gentleman now. These are instead classic examples of how an episode trespassed the limits of acceptability but was handled in a swift and universally accepted way. Everyone agreed with Sverre's actions at the time, and everything was done openly. Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triff found it funny when I mentioned it to him at a convention just afterwards. It was mildly irritating and I probably deserved it. He's been a good boy for absolutely ages, as far as I can remember. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

Bill the barbarian Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Is it just me or are people getting more and more testy here a-bouts. I used to truly enjoy coming to BRP central for an enjoyable conversation or even a debate. People were polite and mostly respectful to others rights< I ask for a spoiler tag and people go nuts, Folks are calling each other out over small details. There is only give and take from the best of folk. I mean either the moon has gone full permanently bringing out all the looniness or there is an American Election coming (only way to explain the nastiness and polarization) 1 1 Quote ... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast!

Some people are always testy, though, but manageable. The ones who are unpleasantly testy tend to disappear after a bit, which is good. 3 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.
