Banning registry

[Kareem]

Almost everyone missed it. It wasn't exciting either.

The one notable thing was that he misspelled "Dungsroman," which I felt was also a bannable offense.

I caught it before I went to bed. I was not able to absorb it or discern meaning from it; it had something about Cleve, and the comparative quality of Cleve's and the poster's own specific strain of racism, but it didn't actually seem to say anything. In fact, it was very successful, in that the slow-burning banality of it made it quite impossible to reply to, as if it existed solely to make people want to go to sleep and dream not of a better world, but a more excellent one.

[quatoria]

Remember HermyHermit? I apparently caught the post before Tom's Ban Hammer found it.

I sure do, and I'm not the slightest bit sad to see the banhammer hit 'em fast. Even though Tom gets grief sometimes for the bannings, he's done a fantastic job of pruning and shaping QT3, which is exactly what you have to do if you want to keep an internet forum vital and healthy. QT3 still has one of the best signal/noise ratios around, and banning people who've gotten out of hand and refused to back down is absolutely a part of that.

It was meandering, retarded bullshit. I think he was drunk, and not the funny ScurvyPig "Oh fire/My love for thee is a funeral pyre/ Burning like my vodka-soaked desire," more like the Mel Gibson unfunny racist drunk. Why the Hell he used his one last shot for a pro-Cleve shout-out only adds to the mystiq^H^H^H^Hdrunken idiocy.

[Ed Solomon]

Tranquility was talking about a borderline racist post immediately preceding his comment. It was made from a never-before used account that had been registered in 2005. The post, and the account, are gone now.

-Tom
Not only was he banned.

It's like he never even existed.

Ah, but he is so very swervy.

I knew the banned thread causing a ban would cause the universe to implode.

[Guido Jones]

PM me a copy of the post wouldja? I missed all the excitement obviously....

It's gone now, sorry. He basically said that Cleve was a big phony because cleve was a racist without actually interacting with other, uh, races, while he was a true racist becuase he was a cop in the DC area, and had seen all kinds of things (which apparently made it okay to be a racist).

I just want you guys to start using the word "banhammer" as enthusiastically as everyone took up the cause of propagating "amokrun".

It depends on the person. Power changes some people. I had a guy I worked with in tech support that was decent enough until he became the lead tech. He was a right asshole after that.

Some people just can't handle the power of other people.

[JoshV]

Its not neccesarily the power (though that does come into it) I think it has more to having to deal with the absolute dregs of society day in and day out. Probably not all that different from working in the movie business, i imagine.

[Charles]

You know, technically I should have a banned-unbanned graphic on there. Even though it only lasted about a day.

[Old Man Gravy]

I know I've asked this before, but I forgot the answer: what did you get banned for?

Please say it was for having been on the team responsible for Pariah.

[Charles]

If that had been the reason I wouldn't have been able to talk my way out of it!

Mostly it was from being a bit too much of an ass.

[Alan Au]

Banned, gently touched, tasered, side-suto'd... you make the call!

Also, is Mark un-entity'd?

[Charles]

Gently touched seems accurate.

[Nick Walter]

Also, is Mark un-entity'd?


Yes, has been for some time.

He retired to pursue other interests outside of entityhood and spend quality time with his remaining appendages.

[Ed Solomon]

Gently touched seems accurate.
Come on, we have to have side-suto'd in there somewhere.

We just have to.

[Charles]

If I knew what the shit that was, I might be receptive to it.

[Kunikos]

If God is immortally invincible and can stop anything, then if Jesus side-suto'd him, would the universe collapse in on itself and cease to exist?

I thought Godwin's Law is about Hitler! Speaking of which, if Indiana Jones did a side-suto on Hitler would he fly so far and so fast he'd bend time and space and smack George Lucas upside the head so he wouldn't make any changes or new Star Wars movies after Return of the Jedi? No? Damn.

If Met_K gets to come back again, I will no longer be the most unbanned person on this forum, by far. That would make me a sad panda.

BTW I like the Dante Rising entry, Albert.

[Cosmic Hippo]

[Aszurom]

What is the difference between gently touched and banned?

[Nick Walter]

What is the difference between gently touched and banned?

There isn't a difference, one is just a cute name for the other.

It dates back to some fun the QT3-admins had the first time there was a big fru-fru over a ban so somebody ran through the database of posts and searched/replaced the phrases "ban" or "banned" with "gently touched." Made a whole lot of posts pretty funny to read in ways the original authors had not intended :)

[OrfBC]

Dante Rising is Tim Elhajj et al? I had no idea.

[Bill Dungsroman]

Dante Rising is Tim Elhajj et al? I had no idea.
The gray line is for aesthetics, Orpheo. It does not imply The Four Faces of Elhajj have a fifth in Dante.

So.... What's the story with Dante Rising + (X) then?

Jesus X Christ I hope you just missed the point of the conversation and are not actually implying that the entire population of DC are "the absolute dregs of society."

Otherwise this would be a very funny and Ironic statement.
(and I would hope you get banned)

[Albert Woo]

So.... What's the story with Dante Rising + (X) then? We're still not sure why it happened (forum glitch?), but apparently a few months ago Dante Rising logged in and found himself on a new account and renamed as Dante Rising (X). According to the Member's List the old account still exists, but no new posts have been made from it since the creation of the "(X)" account.

Either that or some kind of identity theft has occurred. : )

Just a thought.

That graph is getting a little too complicated.

Bullhajj should be banned from having anymore alts.

[Kunikos]

I totally don't understand this thread or that graphic. :-/

What's so hard? The arrows are renames, the two-headed person means they have more than one account, and "gently touched" means they were banned from the forums. UN-gently touched means unbanned (duh).

[Demon G Sides]

I barely understand, but I"m guessing its just people who have been banned, and their current status.

[Kunikos]

Yes this thread is a way to keep track of all the forum bans and name switches (for those who care to know what happened and who they're talking to).

[Rimbo]

That graph is damned complicated.

I love the poll icon and "Stop it, Tim. Just stop it."

[Glenn]

We really need a list of the bannination threads.

Although maybe compiling all that banworthy material together is in and of itself a bannable offense, so, fair warning.

[Demon G Sides]

Not at all! Its historical reference! Its like, keeping Mein Kampf around your house. It doesn't mean you believe or support anything Hitler said, its just that you know its a reference.

Better yet, start with this thread (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=17475) where the graphic made its first appearance (on page 3) more than two years ago. Back then I don't think anyone would have guessed at the flurry of name changes or the ferocity with which the Entity would wield the fearsome banhammer.

Sigh.

Blue Hammer = ban-hammer = banned
Green Hammer = unbanning
Two-headed thingy = one person has more than one account
Arrow with eye = account was renamed by Tom at user's request

There's also a version number on the graphic now, I noticed. v25 is the latest.

[Albert Woo]

I sympathize with anyone who finds navigating the chart daunting. Its puzzle-like nature, oblique layout, and lack of icon labels were quite deliberate as befitting what began as a forum in-joke. People found it useful though, so I kept updating and expanding upon it.

I'll also agree with those who find it too complicated, and although I enjoy the challenge of trying to cram all that info into the graphic in a visually interesting way, functionality will eventually need to trump form. As more and more entries are added, it'll soon be necessary to split the graphic into separate ones (with labelled icons!) for bannings, name changes and multiple accounts.

By the way, thanks to everyone who pointed out an alias or uncovered an alternate account, and also to all those who contributed suggestions and corrections. Thanks also to Squirrel Killer for his text-only version (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=427173&postcount=31), which I've found useful for name changes/aliases.

JOHN MANY JARS IS JOSE LIZ I HAVE PROO-oh, shit :(

[madkevin]

Well, it finally happened. Jose made so much money cut 'n' pasting preview text into reviews that he bought Chet.

[Equis]

So wait....

MynameisWill isn't Jose Liz?

[Marcus]

So wait....

If he's on the boards and everyone knows it's him, he might as well be doing it under his own name. There's going to be a neat diagram on the next Bananas and Nuts!

Hoho. Now where's that thread where someone posted an Achievement Unlocked with 'used the achievement generator' as the achievement? 'Cos that really needs to be posted every time someone uses the achievement generator.

Did Larry just vanish in a puff of logic?

[bigdruid]

Yeah, if we're already tired of the "Achievement Unlocked" graphic, then that has to be the shortest Qt3 meme ever.

Another special guest star as we bid adieu to the lovely PVG...for now. Along with some prominent posters, a couple of spam-bots got the boot too. Additions and corrections are welcome as always.

When did Ben get banned? I was just reading something he wrote in the movies forum, about a recent movie (Bourne: Ultamatum).

[Albert Woo]

He just got banned tonight. It seems like this (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=1060225&postcount=104) had something to do with it.

[TimElhajj]

He just got banned tonight. It seems like a thread in P&R about Japanese wartime atrocities led up to it.

And then someone lit the Bannanas and Nuts search light to call for our hero, the super Albert Woo. :)

Thanks Albert!

[Tom Chick]

Just a quick aside: no one gets banned for a single post, particularly if they've been around for a while. There is almost always a warning, and usually some sort of back-and-forth about this issue. If a problem persists, a person gets banned. Linking to a single post and saying 'So-and-so was banned for this' is rarely the whole picture.

P.S. Ya bunch of yentas!

[Flowers]

And yet again, I flit my eyes anxiously towards the upper right hand corner of the screen to check the unread private messages,

the way I always do.

[Unicorn McGriddle]

Is Ben really banned? His profile still comes up. If he leaves, I feel like I'll have lost an ally in P&R -- we never agreed, but he could always make his case look worse than mine.

It was especially cute when he discovered the race card in the wake of his Hurricane Katrina gaffe. Since then, he's accused more people of bigotry than Jesse Jackson.

Edit: You too, Flowers? On the one hand, we all want to avoid bad news, but on the other, that cad never calls! I'm waitin' by the phone heah!

Yeah, yeah. Yer still a Yenta, just like the rest of us!

[Albert Woo]

Is Ben really banned? His profile still comes up. Yeah, that's changed from before, when you couldn't access the profile of someone who had been banned. He's no longer in the Members List though. Speaking of which, there have been some stealth unbannings, but those affected probably haven't realized it yet.

My mom felt the same way when Arrested Development's second album tanked and the group broke up.

I believe Sebmolo changed his nick to the much more conspicuous Sebmojo.

[quatoria]

And NoWayJose appears to be unbanned, yet again.

[Raife]

I believe Sebmolo changed his nick to the much more conspicuous Sebmojo.

Different guy, he's got like three posts. What kind of a Jr. Woo investigator are you?

[Sebmojo]

Nah, Sebmolo's me - you can change your nick? It totally didn't occur to me.

[Raife]

You have to ask Tom, but yes. Have you even ever looked at one of Albert's charts?

Posted a minor update to v.28 above.

[Tyjenks]

There are two "10" references. Jose Liz and Harry Tuttle. Fix that STAT!!!

[Albert Woo]

Man, guys here named Jose are so much trouble! : ) I'm just going to start pre-emptively making little "banned" entries for all the other members with Jose in their handles.

[Kareem]

Didn't Demon G. Sides post again after he was told to come back after hitting 18? I thought he was "on leave" rather than banned.

Also Raife, my detective skillz pwn j00!

His posting privileges have been rescinded for the time being, and he's no longer in the Members List, so it's pretty much the same thing as a temporary ban.

[Squirrel Killer]

I'll have your penis for that.
Easy there Sen. Craig.

[Albert Woo]

Sooooo...it looks like DaveC got smacked with the banhammer about a month ago.

[Tyjenks]

Weird, I can't find anything offensive from him. What'd he do?

[Kareem]

True, I can't find him in the members list. I'm guessing it's another flamewar he had with Dave Long or something.

If anything, this is a clear indication that we are slacking at detecting these bans!

[MyNameIsWill]

Oh, you guys.

[Kareem]

Was Backov banned or something? He's still in the members list but his last activity is back in January. Wasn't that around the time Kitsune left?

[krokodile]

DUM DUM DUM!!!!

The drama continues to unfold...

[Wholly Schmidt]

BACKOV IS BILL D.

[Albert Woo]

From what I can tell, Backov isn't currently banned. In terms of the Bananas and Nuts chart he would be considered MIA.

John Many Jars left?
Yes, he and the other Red Lectroids were returned to the 8th dimension.

[Albert Woo]

Yes, he did. (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=978679&postcount=354)

BTW NoWayJose is no longer banned, for some reason.

No, his other nick got banned years ago.

I watched that show. Was Gob the magician? This bench shot doesn't seem like a memorable pose. I'd rather have the pole vaulter back.

[Shmtur]

Yes, he was the magician.

[UncleSmoothie]

Wait, *brief* experiment with un-vetted registration? Was that a one-time floodgate opening, or did Tom removing the vetting process entirely?

[EvilIdler]

Tom got lazy and just clicked "APPROVE!" on a whole bunch of registrants :P

[UncleSmoothie]

Tom got lazy and just clicked "APPROVE!" on a whole bunch of registrants :P

Yeah, I remember that, but did he just do it that one time, or was it the unveiling of a new, vet-less reg policy?

[wisefool]

Wait, it ended? I thought people could still get automatic approval.

[Raife]

How much spam have you seen since then?

[Albert Woo]

I'd rather have the pole vaulter back. Poor Tim, he missed seeing both the Monica Bellucci and Jessica Alba versions of the chart.

I just waited for a while after signing up. I guess I signed up just too late to get in on the insta-in policy, but I never got an email or anything from Tom asking if I was a bot.

Which I'm not, obviously.

Buy Halo 3.

BTW, I'm not.

How can you be sure, Dean? You should put up a pic on Hot or Not, just to be safe.

Deepruntramp got banned?
What for?

[Tyjenks]

Uh oh, no breakee the NDA's is today's lesson. Is that what the latest is about?

[Chris Nahr]

That, or having really terrible opinions about RPGs.

[Tyjenks]

Deepruntramp got banned?
What for?

Breaking the Hellgate NDA and then being a douche about it, I believe. Pretty sure it was that latter part that sealed the deal.

[Indierthanthou]

That, or being really a terrible asshole about EVERYTHING.

Fixed that for you.

[Nick Walter]

Deepruntramp got banned?
What for?

I thought he was being needlessly abusive in several threads and almost PM'd Tom about it myself. In the end I think the blatant flaunting of the Hellgate NDA was what got him done in. Suffice to say I won't miss him.

[Tyjenks]

He was pushing the limits of my stance that I see no reason to ever use the forum's "ignore" feature.
