You are begging to get banned........

Just so you know once you post a thread, you are asking for opinion, no one has to agree with you. You have no right to tell people they call others out for speaking thier opinion. susan

And your language is reprehensible, asterisks or not. I haven't seen, or don't recall, the original message you referred to, but can admit that many people here are quick to be too judgemental and far too "assertive" in their replies, but your response was uncalled for. I know I'm a newbie here, but I would like to suggest to everyone that they attempt to dial back the aggression a bit.

It's obvious that many here are very knowledgeable about reptile care and are very willing to share their information. But at the same time, some are quick to condem people for 'doing it a little differently' than the methods most people here adhere to. A little tolerance would go a long way.

That's far too PC sounding of me. I have to go make fun of some stupid people or something. (obvious joke).

You're out of here for a month. If you intend to return, here are some things you should do during your 1-month suspension:

1. Familiarize yourself with the rules of this site.

2. Familiarize yourself with the site's layout.

3. Start developing the maturity necessary to engage in productive conversations with members of a community.

If you ever post anything like this again, you'll be banned permanently.

Hm wow, I wonder if your parents would find it okay that you're telling the forum moderators to 'f off'.

I wish I was doing cool stuff like that when I was 12....

Unfortunately I must say, I was probably much like this when I was 12. Good thing we didn't have the internet back then, so the only people who got to enjoy me back then were local! :eek1:

lol I always catch these too late to see why they were banned. lol

 

[Tinycritters]

altho i am a bit curious as to what happened in the other thread, I'm more glad that we have moderators that actually go thru the trouble of deleting inappropriate threads and banning disruptive people. I enjoy being able to tell people about this site when they start asking questions about my snakes (most are young kids too).

So Thanks!!!

so how does being banned work? you say good bye to your old user name and create a new one?

I didn't delete or edit any threads or posts that had anything to do with this incident. The "I smoke for fun" (or whatever it was called) thread is still there, and there's nothing too crazy in that thread, so only look if you're REALLY bored. The first post in this thread is enough to warrant a long suspension without warnings.

Yes, when you're permanently banned you say goodbye to your old user name. And if you're so inclined, you can create a new one. And if a banned user comes back with a new name, and they disguise themselves as a polite, rule-abiding member, then it's likely that they'll get away with it undetected. But the real trolls always give themselves away, and it usually doesn't take them long. And the mod team members can check and compare IPs (which is not a fool-proof method of validating user identity).

But with the exception of spam-bots, I don't think a single member has been permanently banned since the mod team was created. So this has really been a non-issue so far.

12 year olds swearing at adults over the internet... *sigh* :nope:

I wonder if mum and dad saw THIS thread? :grin01:

Just click his name..your find them.

Just when through his post. Two didn't get any reply and two did.
But only if he did a search. Some people just need a fast answer with out any research. I would think it would be from not knowing how to research and /or where to! :shrugs:
