How would we go about proving that? And what could we do that would rectify the situation? Based on what boo boo said during a conversation, he was not planning on changing his ways anyway, so it was inevitable.
And although I did not want people provoking him intentionally, it's a little unfair to ask an entire forum community to walk on eggshells out of fear of one person breaking another rule and getting banned for it.

That's epic, you should write a poem about it.

What's 'middle school' is you caring so much about gossip on an internet forum. Who cares why booboo was banned? In the 2+ years I've been here, the mods have never banned someone for an unfair reason, so does it really matter specifically why?

The message the mods are sending with this UNBELIEVABLE decision, and subsequent lack of accountability within the MB mod community, is that the rules are out the window. Rules don't matter, is that how were playing it now? Show me in the MB rules where boo boo's ban is justified, and don't make it some vague blanket statement either.

Bottom line is that boo boo served his ban, and was never given a fair chance to prove himself upon coming back. He was unbanned for approximately 6-8 hours, and broke no rules during that time. This **** is unjust and you know it. Admit it, and for ****s sake, do something about it.

boo boo isn't a bad bloke compared to some.
I feel sorry for him.
One day back and what chance did he stand?
Now I don't know the exact reasons for his ban, but a year seems a bit harsh when there are some here still allowed to stay.

What exactly is this "evidence" you speak of, because I read through the entire transcript and actually found myself saying, "man, boo boo is being really cool and is dealing with being provoked really well, I think he's learned his lesson to a point."

So you're admitting that boo boo's ban was preliminary, and actually based on no direct offense, but instead a "feeling" that he might not follow the rules in the future. Unless you guys are Tom Cruise, and this in The Minority Report, I'm calling bull**** on this whole issue. It sure ****ing smells like it to me.

Uh, no. Boo boos ban was based on this:

Quote:

GB: Labyrinth - Best film ever? I think so.

Boo: i would back that 100% but i hate you so im changing my mind its no longer one of my favorite movies and david bowie sucks

Boo: ok nah i still love that movie

Boo: but i still hate you

GB: boobs - how cute. You just got unbanned and you're already starting ****. Smooth moves to be sure.

Boo: im betting the next time it'll be a year

GB: Personally I'd rather the mods just permabanned you and had done with it.

Boo: Well, its not at all an effective method in changing my attitude

Boo: if i think someone is a spaz i will call them one thats what i do bros

Boo: if you want to punish me, ban all the members i like

GB: boobs - I'm not interested in changing your attitude, I just think you're a total idiot. When (not if, WHEN) you get permabanned, I will be glad.

Boo: i dunno how the mods plan on handling me

Boo: im guessing they're just gonna make my bans last longer and longer until i get a perm one

Boo: if this forum wasnt going to crap i would be nicer

GB: The way I took it was that you've pretty much had your last warning. The words used were "We don't want to ban contributing members, but at the same time we're not going to let people get away with things forever"

Boo: Well, lets see. you attacked me unprovoked and i retaliated.

Boo: and somehow thats my fault

Boo: you are a terrible poster too and contribute nothing but snide condescension

GB: boobs - I mentioned labyrinth, without even mentioning or adressing you, and you then told me you hated me. Twice. I'm hardly the instigator of bad will here.

Boo: As for snide condescension, I don't think you know what those words mean.

Boo: i told you i hated you because i do

Boo: i hate you for a reason

Not to mention a very long history of the same thing, if that wasn't obvious enough already.
It makes me laugh that people are all screaming Rodney King about this. We should have permabanned boobs a long time ago. People should have been screaming favoritism because we let him come back as many times as we did.

We don't know that for sure, it all depends on what was said.
If a mod reveals what was said, then we can know for sure.
If they decide not to, then we won't. No complaints.
But I doubt they'd ban him if it wasn't justified.
Though it does seem a little quick to ban him.
