Are you Un-Bannable?

    It's a simple question with a simple poll, in light of the recent banning's i want to know who thinks they're safe.

    There is no middle option because you are or you are not.

    * public poll, but if you're un-bannable, that should not be a worry


    PEACE, YO :)
     
  2. Xac, I think you just cross the line into bannable territory

    i disagree,i think its a perfectly legitamate attempt to hmm hafta think for a momment bout what hes tryin to accomplish..lol but i do see some hiden value init..

    wellthe are u bannable unbannable questoins faulty since everyones really bannable if they screw up enough
    shoulda been do you hope tobe banned

    it needed interpretation so i interperated it as.. are you here to add to & learn fromthe community..or.. here to say just the most stupidly rediculose shit ya can all day hoping to piss people off enough to get banned

    s for banning cause of the new rule.. the new rule is common sence..& in no way infringes on free speech & if allthe dumbases who just decided to fight it because someone called skip a free speech nazi & everyonre jumped on the bandwagon & decided to fight every lil change like children would stoptothinkabout it a momment theyde realize its a perfectly resonable request & actualy helps them not hurts them

    ithink skip went out of his way to be more then fair &reasonable
    but honnestly if it was my site & isaid hey, ya know its a good idea to make thread titles descriptive & everyone sudenly started making thousands of the least descriptive titles they could..i wouldnt have banned anyone iwoulda said fuckit & closed the site
    its so childish
    icant say iagree with every decision skips made.. but really he has tried tobe pretty damn fair in the face of a hell of alotta petty bickering
    honestly if skip had a fault its in that hes too fair & hasnt banned a few people who shoulda been
    (bythat i only mean a couple who have displayed tendencies that may make them possibly dangerouse especialy tothe younger folks here)
    man iwatch some of the behavior here & ican just picture skip about to pull his hair out just from havin to dealwith so much childishness

    have any of uever stopped to say..thanks skip for making ussuch a wonderful comunity toshare our ideas or are ya just too damn busy try into screw things up to care

    damn ididnt intend to say allthat but oh well..its out there now
     
  8. Actually, the rule that you can't talk about the banned is an old, and very convenient one.

    Hipforums is a great site. Skip has great ideas.

    But people make friends on here, close friends. People also expect to escape the same sort of treatment they get in their jobs, their schools, their governments. The very fact that this is a free speech site should enable them the right to complain if they feel let down.

    I feel let down. Most of the time, when people talk about the banned, it is in good humour, or it is out of respect for the person. What is wrong with saying you miss somebody?

    The only reason I can see for taking action against such threads is just to hide the fact that this is a ban-friendly site. Sounds awfully paranoid and high handed to me.

    But that is my opinion. I do not demand that any changes be made, for this isn't my site. However free speech is a shared idea, and I personally think it should be removed from the hipforums title. It would save skip a lot of work.

    Honestly, I don't think I'm bannable.. I behave myself. :p

    Not to mention, a lot of people here know my sense of humor is sometimes warped but it's all in good fun.

    I haven't sent him a PM because i wouldnt want to bother him personally, but i did make a thread called "Props to Skip" or something along the lines of that, which did just that, thanked skip for his awesome site.

    This thread isnt about rebelling against the rules, this thread is about if you believe yourself to be in a favourable perception.

    No I'm not, but I do try to follow the rules. But if a new rule pops up about being banned for being bitchy - then I think I will be the first to go.

    the talking bout the banned although itotaly understand where your comming from & agree idoalso understand why skip made the rule
    theres been a situation iknow of (purposely trying to be vague) where mentioning the name of someone whowas banned..& absolutle should have been..but just mentioning his name attracted him back over & over under many many names just tocause more problems & have to be banned over & over making it a constant headache to have to just try tokeep this 1 trouble maker away

    ya might not like all the rules..& some may suck especialy if they interfere with u directly..but there really is logic behind each one
    & its not an attempt to control free speech its just an attempt to make the job of keeping the site safe & useable by everyone inder control and not a totaly overwhelming job
    not many other forums are as good at controlling spam or flamers & trolls & hf is really a pretty huge forum, thats very very active..
    add ontop of that having tobann the same one person 10 times a day &urealize its a lotta work just so ya can come here Y say any ol damn thing ya want
    would u preffer a less ban freindly site thats constantly flooded with spam?
    think about how many times ya get dozens of identicle spamthreads all over the place..like last night..if they wernt banned in minutes they could become thousands really quickly

    never beenbanned myself but im pretty sure skips pretty faitr bout given ya a chance..he doesnt just perma bann ya if u screw up once ithink tobe permenantly banned ugotta screw up pretty bad..or..over & over & over

    IMO no one is un-bannable in the sense that being here is an entitlement. Pushing the limits of free speech can only limit that freedom.

    I'm thinking that discussions that touch upon how the site is administered come dangerously close to touching a nerve. With all the activity that transpires in a given day it has to be damned near impossible to catch everything with so many users hell-bent on finding the limits of the freedom of speech then whining when they have crossed a line and earned a mod's response. If one intends to find the limits of the freedoms here then one needs to be prepared to deal with the consequences once a limit has been successfully discovered.

    blah blah blah
