[13:27] Shaun (ebe9): ???
[13:27] z00p: [13:16] Shaun (ebe9): Check you inbox
[13:16] Shaun (ebe9): your
[13:28] Shaun (ebe9): message has been sent
[13:28] Shaun (ebe9): to this address
[13:28] z00p: Where did you get this address from it is old
[13:29] Shaun (ebe9): listed on your profile
[13:29] z00p: Which one? S:
[13:29] Shaun (ebe9): MX
[13:30] Shaun (ebe9): Klown
[13:30] z00p: Klown is senior_salsa@hotmail.com unless you mean the music site one
[13:31] Shaun (ebe9): Other recorded
[13:31] z00p: iz
[13:32] z00p: Anyway I think a two month ban for negging you is too harsh hmhm but I'm sure you're aware of that
[13:32] Shaun (ebe9): 1 month, and you have been warned by me in the past
[13:32] Shaun (ebe9): It was not for being negged by you
[13:33] Shaun (ebe9): A decent standard of interaction with others on the MX Forums is prefereable
[13:33] Shaun (ebe9): if that is not followed there are repocussions
[13:35] z00p: I have a very fine standard of interaction with other forum members! (:
[13:36] z00p: Where am I going wrong?
[13:36] Shaun (ebe9): I want to pose a very simple question to you
[13:36] Shaun (ebe9): Would you interact the exact same way with people in day to day life as you do with those on the forum?
[13:37] z00p: Well that depends on the people of course!
[13:38] z00p: I am a nice helpful person to many people on MX
[13:38] Shaun (ebe9): I have seen posts that suggest otherwise
[13:38] z00p: I didn't say that I am always nice and helpful
[13:38] Shaun (ebe9): I will remove the ban on your Klown account early on one condition
[13:39] z00p: How early and what is this condition (:
[13:39] Shaun (ebe9): With effect of immediately
[13:39] Shaun (ebe9): The condition is that you calm down.
[13:40] z00p: I am always calm!
[13:40] Shaun (ebe9): I am not unsympatetic in terms of the forum not only being a place for music and musical instrument discussion
[13:40] Shaun (ebe9): But also a forum for social interaction
[13:40] Shaun (ebe9): that is the main draw card besides its intended purpose
[13:42] Shaun (ebe9): I will let most things slide, but any, and I do mean any verbal abuse of others that remotely comes near an attack on their race, religion or sexual preference, be it insinuated or otherwise will result in a ban
[13:42] Shaun (ebe9): Have fun, but don't hurt others in doing it
[13:42] Shaun (ebe9): I know its cliched, but treat others as you want them to treat you
[13:42] z00p: Were you hurt?
[13:43] Shaun (ebe9): No, but the point is not that
[13:43] Shaun (ebe9): It is the manner in which you deal with others on the forum
[13:44] Shaun (ebe9): All you do when you make comments is annoy the other person and incite them to find ways and means or exacting some form of revenge
[13:44] Shaun (ebe9): I am here to enforce rules on the forum, those were broken and as such the penalty for breaking those rules was enforced
[13:45] z00p: I see!
[13:46] Shaun (ebe9): There are two options open from my point of view.
[13:46] Shaun (ebe9): 1. Everyone tries to get along and the mods are there for the extreme cases
[13:46] Shaun (ebe9): or
[13:47] Shaun (ebe9): 2. People turn it into a highschool mentality with the trendy little clicks and bully others.
[13:48] Shaun (ebe9): In the case of number 2, I step in and ban the offender, they feel abused and get their mates to jump on the bandwagon. Masses of banning ensues and people trying to destroy the system
[13:48] Shaun (ebe9): Quick question? Are you still in school?
[13:49] z00p: People are never bullied unless they do/say something stupid :X
[13:49] z00p: And no,I am not.
[13:49] Shaun (ebe9): That is no justification for it
[13:49] z00p: Most people only start arguments due to boredom anyway
[13:49] z00p: There is no real malice behind it
[13:50] Shaun (ebe9): So rather than start an argument online, find something else to do
[13:50] Shaun (ebe9): Best case scenario if you want to stay on the forum, pick a topic and start a discussion, not an argument
[13:51] Shaun (ebe9): or explore the forum a bit more, there are multiple sections where you can interact if one part does not currently have anything happening
[13:51] z00p: What other forums?
[13:52] Shaun (ebe9): politics, music genres
[13:52] Shaun (ebe9): etc
[13:52] z00p: wait
[13:52] z00p: there are other forums?
[13:52] Shaun (ebe9): http://www.sputnikmusic.com/forums/index.php
[13:53] z00p: Wow there are lots
[13:54] z00p: Old Archives looks interesting
[13:54] Shaun (ebe9): Okay, I will lift the ban on the "Klown" account now
[13:54] Shaun (ebe9): Just try utilising the forum a bit more and think a little before posting
[13:55] z00p: whythankyou
[13:55] Shaun (ebe9): ban lifted
[13:55] z00p: You wouldnt by chance know who removed Light Fantastics avatar, would you?
[13:55] Shaun (ebe9): I did
[13:56] Shaun (ebe9): I do not feel a poster like that deserves a large avatar
[13:56] Shaun (ebe9): in the rest of the forums you earn them
[13:56] z00p: I'm sure Light Fantastic would disagree!
[13:56] Shaun (ebe9): Chad has always been a bit of a problem poster
[13:56] z00p: He has?
[13:57] Shaun (ebe9): If he has a issue he may take it up with me, my email is on my profile
[13:57] Shaun (ebe9): ebe9@hotmail.com
[13:57] z00p: Ok I will pass this informations on to him
[13:57] Shaun (ebe9): cheers
