Where's the ban?!

[Ming]

My reason for asking is, I'm also wondering why he was banned and by whom. As you may not know, Choke brought this up at Apolyton... (he was banned by myself for bringing another forums problem to Poly) So I'm interested to know if indeed he was correct in his guess on who banned him and for why (not that it would change his restricted status at poly)

Poor Choke.

My guess is one of the Civ2 moderators banned Choke, since Choke mainly posted in Civ2 PBEM forum.

But aren't your mods supposed to manually log any restriction?
I have to at poly, and I thought that was the policy here as well?

It's a good way to make sure that every restriction is done for real reasons

AAAHHHHH!! STOP WINKING!!!

We are supposed to log every ban but this one was not logged. I talked to the party suspected of the ban and they denied said ban

Can't you just look at the automatic admin log and see who changed the status of his account, or doesn't your software have that feature

No site bashing Ming.

...(not that it would change his restricted status at poly)

Good. We need to keep 'em over here.

Yes, we do.

We are also supposed to link the offending post, post the offending PM, ect.

Here's a thread in which SunTzu and I exchanged insults, after our "discussion" took place I was no longer able to post here.

Me... site bash. I would never do that... (now how many winks am I supposed to add... oh, three should work)

I'm just trying to put myself in Choke's shoes, and see it from his perspective.

He has an argument with a mod from one site on another site.
All of a sudden he can't post at the site and has been given no reason why not. (he knew why he couldn't post at poly... I posted it in the thread and sent him a "few" PM's)

All of a sudden he is being told it's an accident ... and that it was a mod who did it, but no mod claims responsibility. He received no PM, and it isn't even logged like it should have been.

What would you think if you were in his shoe?

Whether it was an accident or not, maybe we will never know... heck, I've banned somebody by accident before, and never knew I did it... (I also made somebody a mod once instead of unbanning them... thank god I noticed it before they did)
Accidents do happen.

But if I was in his shoes... I would also be asking some real tough questions.

I thought it was pretty funny too... but not until AFTER I was able to see that the poster never knew about it. That could have been a real bad thing...

You little kingmaker you.

 

[floppa21]

Some guys have all the luck. AOA, how about givin me mod powers? I'll send you a nasty PM, and then you go ahead and hook me up, okay?

 

[Ming]

So is the final answer here "Gee, we don't know" and the mod that did it (whether by accident or on purpose) isn't saying a word... Or did somebody show the proper sense of resposibility and stand up and admit what they did?

If it's the former, it's a sad day...

 

[SunTzu]

Who cares, i know i didn't ban him, i have better things to do. You wanna blame me lol, well then fine, blame me. Its not going to chap my ass Choke.

 

[SunTzu]

Oh and Ming, i'm sorry i didnt reply to this quicker, it ain't my problem so i'm not gonna waste my fingers typing in response

 

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

We have determinded it was Ming that did it...

Nobody seems to know, Mingy.

Floppa, I'll PM you my password, you can take over, I'm outta here!
