Colin got banned. Wut? Think about how much fewer lulz will be had now!
>:( :'(
-
wow, i havent heard of the ban hammer since...brian cooper. i wonder why he got banned?
-
I banned Colin. I don't want it assumed that someone else banned him. The reason I banned him was due to many complaints by many people over a long time. We tried warnings and short term breaks. These failed. It's my fault for allowing it to go on as long as it did. The sad thing is that a few bad apples on the boards have chased away good people who have become too frustrated.

Wow.. he finally got banned... i was wondering when it happened. sure he did say some funny things, but he was also an arguement machine.

i never thought this day would come

I can't say that I am happy or sad really. I guess it'll be a relief not to have him arguing and insulting people all the time.

Why ban Colin when New Jerusalem and Haman's Plot cause far more trouble.

These cards create interesting game play and discussions. Colin created long posts full of "look how educated I am".
Plus, I can't tear him in half. Just sayin'.
-
I respect Rob's decision and believe that it was the best one for the forum as a whole.
On a personal note, I'll miss Colin and some of our discussions. I just wish that we could have had them in person, and not in front of all the impressionable minds here. I hope that Colin will learn from this experience and that someday we will spend eternity in Heaven together.

Actually, Rob banned Colin, not Schaef.

Rob already stated that Colin was given plenty of opportunities to make the changes necessary to remain "on board," but he chose not to do what was required.
You reap what you sow.

I think we should ban all the administrators and moderators for one week just to see what it would be like.
-

From what I remember, at least one moderator approved of such behavior.
-
Hm... I'll miss his interesting posts... but like Rob said, he had his chance. But if he got banned ONLY for debating... I'm done for guys. ;D

Having strong opinions and debating them vigorously? We're all in trouble!
Actually, I find myself in a situation where I can't even talk about my two favorite thing, politics and religion, without making my life at work exceedingly unpleasent. I appreciate having a place to do that freely. God bless America (and Rob) !

I'll miss him. he added a bit of spice to the same old debates.

I don't think any moderator in his/her right mind would approve of using Magikarp.
-
i approve of using magikarp. splash ftw.

DUDE!!! You're a moderator!! I didn't know that. Congratulations! ;D

He is a mod in the Video Games area I believe.

I think that we all spend to much time on the boards. I think every buddy needs to be ban for a week.

That's what I had just discovered. That was the first place I looked. ;D

At least someone goes to the Video Games forum. Poor Prof Underwood...

What about me? Most I've done with my powerzzzzzz of DOOM is sticky threads.
-
:(
-
You've got far more sticky threads in your forum than I've got in mine, one of them is "don't make these cards, people will make fun of you," and another I didn't sticky at all.

How is he banned?
-
ban =/= deleted account. I think is probably (A) that account is locked, and (B) that IP address is blocked.

Or both

I put an "and" between them for a reason. ;)
-
hes probably just blocked from posting.
-
His IP isn't blocked. He can read your letters of support, so keep posting! Viva la vida!

Yeah, trying to keep the flaming out of my two parts of the forum is an all encompassing task. You ought to see all the tense arguments that get started about whether to play type 12R or Juggernaut. Oops I forgot...
nobody looks at gameplay variations.
-
WHO LOOKS AT CARD PLAY VARIATIONS?!!?!?!!! :laugh: :rollin::rollin:
sorry rr i couldn't help myself ;)

we could start a petition for his unblockage.

or we could just stop complaining and respect the decision of Rob. If you want to keep arguing/debating with him, be friends with him on Facebook. I'm sure he would still chat there.

Tru dat.
Mr Rob isn't some power hungry maniac. If he banned some one, I'm sure he didn't want to, but felt he had to.

I'm not complaining. I just think it's sad that he's gone. I say give him another chance.
also, most of the time I'm not in the debate, I just enjoy reading them.

I would agree with this except that Colin's been given multiple chances multiple times, as has already been stated in this thread. Sometimes people don't want to (or care to) change.
