The Back Alley Archives

I just sent them an email asking why I was banned and told them I wanted my money back. I bet the mod forum is blowing up right about now. Where is Todd when I need him?

I just had a great idea...I'm considering acting like a total flamer over there. It will make people extremely uncomfortable, and they won't be able to do anything about it. Thoughts?

Do you want me to be subtle, or would you rather have me just come out and say it? I'm voting against subtlety, but I'll leave it up to you.

Some friendly (or not so friendly advice)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not really aiming this at anyone in particular because this has been going on for a while, but I think its time has come to end this crap.

The pub is here for folks to take a break from the sports forums. It is supposed to be like your neighborhood bar where folks can chat, banter, and let their hair down. It can be a fun place to meet folks and have fun.

However, there are some that seem to just want to be a thorn in the sides of the moderators and other members who are not their cup of tea. That has gone on to an extent since I have been with GC, but it seems to be getting a lot worse. I thought my leaving would help because I had been sort of a thorn in the side of some (and they were a thorn in my side).

So here is the deal-

If you don't like the pub- then don't come here.

If you don't like the mods- then don't come here.

If your only reason for being here is to pick, bait and annoy, then don't come here.

If you think taking shots at mods, openly questioning what they do is within our rules, then you are wrong, so don't come here.

The mods are in charge here- they enforce the rules, set the tone and the direction- if you don't like that, then don't come here.

I am giving the mods the okay to block anyone from the pub that just want to come here and annoy folks. If you do not think you are annoying folks, but you are getting infractions and warnings then you are probably wrong.

I have not talked to any mods about this yet, although I have asked them to call me. I am doing this because some folks were banned and I read some threads.

We can block folks from the pub and they can access the rest of the site and we may do that to a greater degree than we have.

Do not harass, annoy, call out, insult any other members, especially the moderators.

I noticed that as well. The minute we were banned the flood gates of tough guys opened up. I love the comment from uflawyer about you being man enough to meet up with him and bari in person. Fucking pussy.

Where did that happen?
