some piece of shit moved in on another band board i post on and made the mood acutely uncomfortable. unfortunately the board is unmoderated (but i have the passwords). so after how many physical threats do i have grounds for a ban?

eh, FT?

What kind of threats?

"if i see ever you make fun of ppl more unfortunate than you again i will fuck your shit up bitch."

or something like that.

in a harmless thread about eccentric ppl in everyone's neighborhood.

I thought I was banned once, but it turns out people were just ignoring me.

I once thought I had mono for an entire summer...it turned out I was just really bored.

You're turning into The Obner, but six, eight years older, and wiser...

if he were an ice cream flavor, he'd be praline and dick.

You know, if you stab a man in the dead of winter, steam will rise up from the wounds.

That sounds almost as bad as Neopolitan.

Smash your computer, problem solved

I did not know that.

Oh, bite your tongue... Neapolitan is great. The "related" spumoni is even better.

and handsomer.

but then i wouldn't get to visit obner

Made the mood uncomfortably where? Here? Or at your unmoderated board? Are you the board administrator/owner? Have you tried communicating with the person in question outside of the board (eg, PM, email)? How about ignoring the person? Does this person personally know you? Know where you live? If he's making serious threats on your person, you do realize that you can report him to the government authorities.

We've never banned anyone on Obner. However, it doesn't mean that we wouldn't. And I think that I can speak for the other moderators when I say that people are entitled to opinions whether you agree with them or not. How you wish to convey your message determines whether you'll be a welcomed member or not. Most website communities tend to steer to the non-assholes.

This has been a public service from your friendly neighbourhood moderator.


PS -- I take it that "Fuck off, you scabies-infested spawn of a whore" hasn't worked.

What happens if you stab a woman?

she'll beat your ass.

So, -

KonstantinL ("Darrin") is our trusty mod;

Aural Fixation ("Tania") is our friendly mod;

these mean that FT ("Bob") must be our (?) mod....

I will solve one problem per day. Report back tomorrow

We have, in fact, banned someone from Obner: "Nocturne," who got Squirrgle fired.

Fucker.

Nocturne, that is.

... And I bet that he still sucks at Photoshop.

oh yeah, thats right! did anyone ever ddos his ass? that would be the least he deserved. what an ass.

no, not here. at the other board. basically goes like this:

1. quiet and sleepy indie rock band board gets mystery posts from boarder who smugly implies he knows members personally, accuses them of selling out, blabiddy blah

2. flaming ensues by regulars

3. new boarder gets fired up, misspells every word in the wiki-verse, name drops like it's going out of style

4. more flaming ensues

5. new boarder threatens to "fuck your shit up" (see above post), and tells band to watch their back on tour. totally earth crisis '94

6. boarder makes it known his identity shall, until further notice, remain a secret

7. board has no ignore option

8. band doesn't moderate and probably wouldn't know how anyway

so basically the dude isn't connecting with the vibe of the board (sarcasm, irony, et al), which isn't a big deal, and the fact that he obviously dislikes the band isn't a big deal, but it's kind of like having a booger on the collective board finger that we can't flick off.

a booger that threatens to kick everyone's ass.

he seriously won't go away and i like m' board.
