I was among the banned, but I never participated in that thread, I think he was just deleting people at random.

Ah the infamous Beth Ditto thread

boo boo's thoughts in that thread actually started out somewhat logical, but as usual he got rustled by people disagreeing with him, and it all escalated from there.

I think it was a combination of that and other things.
I remember about 2 or 3 weeks before that several of us mods were getting concerned about the way he was acting and at least 4 or 5 of us asked him to stand down.
He refused begging for another chance, Yac wouldn't de-mod him unless it was his own choice so we were stuck with him.

Then he gets involved in that thread whilst being a prick in the shoutbox and that's when he had his meltdown. Yac had no choice but to de-mod him after than and he was given a months ban.

I think that's pretty much the full story now.

No that came later, the mod stuff happened about 4 years ago.
He was permabanned around this time 2 years ago.

How's a mob get perma banned? I know Urban just said, but still, how do you get from, "Hey, you who would be a good mod? Boo Boo. He's just got a great head on his shoulders and is very fair minded." to, "Dude, this whack job's gotta go."

He was never supposed to be a full mod, that's why.

He was originally only made of the new prog sub-forum right (or classic rock subforum? I forget which)? And that was only to recognize his dedication to the site?

Mod cave is full of arguements and people wanting to give others another chance. Bill being the biggest violator.

Boo Boo was given half-mod status because he was posting good stuff in the prog forums or something like that. They decided to bump him up after a vacancy. He was promoted based on advancement of the forums.

His judgement was never that great.

Oh hey, where is that fruitloop Mod you guys had here for 3 weeks who told me my name was too ****ing long?

I loved that one. My time here probably eclipsed her time on earth and I'm the problem.
