Yeah. I don't think anyone's going to accuse you of being a grammar nazi anytime soon.

This was done because there was a lot of flaming going on. I think this will really cut down on that. It was a good decision. It will also make people think twice before they post, which is never bad.
2005-01-16, 2:00 PM #48
Well I only think 1 and a half times before I post?

What are you gonna do about that?

You wanna go?

Cause I'll go right now!

I'm ready to go!

I think it's not appropriate to associate people who are anal-retentive about grammar rules with people who did far worse things.

we've had good discussions here on all of thoes topics, where people havent ended up flaming each other, and information/ideas are exchanged... i really love thoes threads
Laughing at my spelling herts my feelings. Well laughing is fine actully, but posting about it is not.

Sometimes I think the way to make Massassi better is not removing bad members but bringing back some good members who never post any more because they're too busy with "life" or something awful.

He was reffering to it in plural, so it should have been: "Salads". I believe the previous sentence has been correctly written.

Edited Portion of Post: I changed a number of small grammatical errors I had previously not noticed.

I have edited the post I previously had submitted so that it meets your satisfaction. Please forgive me for my grammatical errors as I am still learning to deal with this language, despite the fact I have been brought up with it.

Yours Truly,

P.S. If you spot anymore grammatical errors in my posts, feel free to report them to me via the personal messaging system.

2) Like medevil times posting the heads of evil doers on poles invoked fear in those who were thinking about it. The same applies.


If someone gets THAT scared to post what you like on a message forum, or post your opinions for that matter...As well as if you get THAT upset about someone saying something on the internet, then that person is officially a geek/nerd and needs to get outside more. A hell of a lot more. There is a big difference between posting on a message forum and getting banned for a day, and what they did in the medieval times to scare people by posting peoples beheaded heads for display.

You know, people have been getting these little 1 and 2 day bans forever and no one really cared. Some of you are just reacting to the fact that it's now going to be public. That's the only reason some of you care.

As for a stricter interpretation of the rules, it's up to the admins. Catching people early and slapping them with a short ban acts as a prevenitive measure to keep things from really getting out of hand.

Furthermore, if this doesn't allow you to "be yourself" then "yourself" is a person who's rude and insulting on some level.

OK, so this new policy kind of bites. What bites a whole hell of a lot more is that our beloved Massassi has come to the point where such a policy is needed. The past few months around here have been absolutely horrible and I hope this fixes our forums.

I'm just curious - since when does 3 (not all of which are permenant) bans qualify as a "spree"?

My sentiments exactly. Things have been a lot better around here since Brian posted his announcement, I hope this trend continues.

Also a valid point. We havent really banned more people than usual... its just that its a lot more apparent because its listed publicly.

The way I see it is, this is Brian's site, he owns it, he pays for it, thus he makes the rules, and I have to obey them if I wish to stay.

Man, I've gone six years without being banned; and I've made some insulting and poorly thought out posts, too! I feel like I'm missing out on an essential life experience, here.

The two banees that the mods didn't censor sure as hell were not even close to deserving.

I'm suprised that it took this long to see Mikus on the list. Anyone want to put money down on who is next? I have a few predictions, but I guess it would be rude to announce it. :/

We should have a system like Survivor where someone wins immunity each day.
2005-01-16, 7:51 PM #77
I think the banlist is a good idea....but maybe we should have a deciated open site/forum admin discussion forum for it along with any other issues. That way it's still out in the open but not right at the top of the discussion forum.

ANY thread wherein DJ Yoshi and MechWarrior have both posted. I refuse to look up THAT MANY threads.

I asked Brian to ban me for a day cause I wanted to see what message you get when you are banned.
I can't think of anything to put here right now.
