Why do I always have to do this? Options

[JRockTTU]

What's the point of having 12 mods if all of them are going to let a member have an avatar of boobs flopping around?

[GOB]

[JRockTTU]

2. For other forums, link NSFW pics rather than using the IMG tags and mark them with (NSFW) or something similar. If an entire thread is generally NSFW, say so in the title. These guidelines are recommended for LRAR as well, but not required.

I would assume this goes for avatars also?

[Spectatrix]

Lance is the only person who can edit member profiles, including avatars and sigs. I contacted Brandon on AIM and told him to change his damn avatar. He didn't change it LAST time it was NSFW, so Lance will probably revoke Brandon's avatar privileges this time.

By the way, JRock, your avatar may not be NSFW, but it's damn annoying. Mind changing it? Thank god for Adblock...

BAN HIM FOR A WEEK, JUST LIKE YOU DID TO TTULOW

he's been told numerous times not to have offensive avatar pictures, not to mention to post all his stupid videos in one thread.

teach him some personal accountability. it shouldnt be spectatrixs job to follow around and clean up all his garbage because hes too much of a dipshit to do it himself

can't do anything about it. Admin only thing.

You do not love Stamos?

[Spectatrix]

I wish Lance could change his avatar to Rainbow Brite again and then lock him out of changing it.

But I don't think that's possible... he can, however, put him in his own member group w/o avatars at all. I'd probably suggest doing it without sigs too, just to be mean. See, Will, sometimes being a bitch is a GOOD thing!

[Throwdown]

i wish we had an ignore feature. we have one on another board i frequent, and its beautiful

[JRockTTU]

Seizure inducing Stamos has been changed.

[Spectatrix]

I think the ignore feature is implemented in IPB 2.0 (or higher). It would be nice, but the newer versions of IPB cost. Pirating has never seemed to stop Lance before, so there's probably other concerns too.

If you use Firefox, Will, try downloading the AdBlock or AdBlock Plus extensions. They can be used to block annoying images like Brandon's avatar.

[Jim]

You can put Brandon in his own user group so that he can have a profile but he doesn't have access to it.

Really? SWEET!

[JRockTTU]

I think that since TTULow's threads are deleted for not having sources, all of Forsaken's posts should be deleted if since he is refusing to change his avatar. He's probably been warned just as many times as Low has in the past.

[Jim]

He also doesn't know the concept of put all of his videos in one thread.

I say don't ban them. Just put them in their own user group where they get zero privileges other than posting (and have it so that all posts have to be ok'd by a moderator).

That's how I take care of my trouble people at the forums I admin at. If they're extremely bad, I just suspend their account.

[Billy]

Yes, ban brandon. Maybe he'll learn his lesson.

[Rocky]

If any of this stuff is done you know he'd just use a proxy and come back with another name and just be 100x as annoying.


So just shoot him.

[FORSAKENR320]

this whole thing has made it clear to me.

the collaboration of new mods trying to flex their E-nuts at everyone is way worse than lance ever was when he handled it all. amazing how bad of a power trip some people get.



and no, i don't know how to do the proxy thing, but there is google, and i have several friends who i know for a fact do know it.

everyone eh? more like you and low

if you would just be a little more respectful it wouldnt be a damn issue

and low is just odd

[Epic]

and here's the dilema

so the mods are being accused of power tripping and trying to make the boards less annoying. That kinda goes both ways.

So Brandon is saying he would retaliate by making it even more annoying, thus negating the original plan and implying they'd be best off just putting up with the current amount of Brandon on the boards.

It all makes sense really.




there's just one thing that i find interesting. Is that someone would be the kind of person that would spend more time and energy being annoying just to prove a point that he...can be annoying? That's not a title I'm sure anyone wants to fight for.


So personally I'm siding with the mods because I do feel that some of your stuff gets annoying. Your boobie avatar really didn't bother me because the chicks face made her look like she had down syndrome. However if you're gonna get so buttsore about having rules enforced upon you that you'd actually try to make this place worse, I'd suggest you to just not visit this site for awhile anyway. Techsans.net shouldn't have that large of a role in anyone's life.

[Rocky]

Its amazing that people can't understand the incredibly simple concept :

This is Lance's site. He allows us to use it. On his private site, he has ever right to enforce any rules he sees fit.

Lance delegates the ability to enforce rules, to his mods.

So you can either comply, leave, or just make more of a fool of yourself.

no, i got buttsore because instead of asking me politely to please change my avatar, spectatrix gets on AIM while i'm at work, and says "goddammit brandon, you need to change your fucking avatar" i don't respond well to bully treatment, it usually has the opposite affect. when johnathan83 asked me a long time ago nicely to change it, i did so immediately with no issues. bad avatars are on here all the time. i feel i've been pretty good about not posting NSFW stuff in offtopic lately

[Mommy]

posting NSFW things isnt all THAT bad because the mods can change it. changing the avatar to NSFW material is kinda bad because the mods cant do anything about it. Brandon knows this and is taking advantage of it. I suppose he is trying to make a statement. If the mods would just leave most things alone except NSFW tags, would that appease Brandon? Its hard to say, but I guess in the end it doesnt matter because Rocky is right.

[Jyan]

Well, ya see Brandon, it's like talking to a child. First, you talk to it kindly. Usually, the child stops for a while, and then goes back to doing what he did in the first place. In such case you must use stricter discipline to get your point across. If you had learned your lesson in the first place then maybe you wouldn't have to have been "bullied".

I didn't know about jonathan83 asking you to change an avatar. I DID know about Woody asking you to change you clitoral stimulation avatar... which you didn't. Lance had to get on your account and edit your avatar. You had your "homo" avatar and I thought that was fine. Yeah, it was kinda NSFW, but someone would have to be staring over your shoulder for a while to be able to *realize* that it's NSFW. Then you post this boobie crap and should should KNOW by now that NSFW avatars/sigs are NOT ok. So of course I wasn't polite. I'm polite if I think you don't know the rules, rude if I know damn well you do.

And the only bad avatars I've seen on here since the board reset have been yours. Except perhaps JRock's last one... UGH. That was pretty bad too.

Yep. He refused in PM convos to follow the news post rules, reposted one news thread 8 times, and ignored Lance when he told Low that he'd ban him if he broke the rules again. Low of course proceeded to post two or three more news threads and got banned as a result. Not sure the duration of the ban... I think a week would be appropriate, but Lance probably did an indefinite ban.

[James]

Hmmm...ok. Then why isn't this other dude banned?

[Junsui]

So, I guess one could do whatever they wanted on here as long as they remember to post a source for a news story. Neat!

Because Brandon had not seen the PMs that mods had sent him in the past and thus was unaware that there was a problem. Low, on the other hand, acknowledged the existence of the rules and outright said that he wasn't going to follow them.

At least that's how I see it... Lance (who does all bannings) may have his own reasoning.

Cool, so I'm going to just post whatever horrid shit I want everywhere I want on this site and I won't get in trouble because I'm just not gonna read my PM's.

Forsaken has had NSFW shit in his avatars and signatures since he's been here, and to my knowledge has had to change them in the past. He's a big boy and knows what he's doing, so stop giving him the benefit of ignorance. He even posted that he wouldn't change it just to defy you because you were rude when you IM'ed him. I don't see how you can just claim ignorance, that's stupid.

I brought it up in the mod forum as soon as I saw it. Consensus was that it was too small and indistinct to *really* be NSFW. If consensus among non-mod board members is otherwise, I'm sure that Lance would be more than happy to change Dogmeat's avatar to a Rainbow Brite + unicorn pic.

i liked that pic





it's probably partially because dogmeat has firmly established himself as the sleazy creepy sex craved internet guy. its almost expected of him to have that kind of stuff.
i mean, i knew what it was, and it wasn't a big deal to me. but then again i firmly promote the ability to force other people to step out of their bubble and realise the world won't conform to their little preferences. if i could get away with posting a massive cock fucking an asshole that is shitting at the same time it was being fucked, i'd do it just because it would offend all of you sheltered people and there wouldn't be anything ya'll could do about it.


reality being:: suck it up and deal with it, the world isn't PG-13

meh. not a big deal either way. i'm not gonna bitch about it being unfair or anything. this forum isn't important enough to me to get all bent out of shape over "well, you let him do this" kinda stuff
