Banned usernames

[SDS]

Since this became an issue here, I’m letting you know that I have permanently banned:

buffalobillsfootball

GoBuffalo716

BillZtime

along with two others accounts and BillStime for 30 days.

A couple notes:

 

For the love of God please stop with the bot conspiracy nonsense. Look up Occam‘s razor. 
 

Secondly, if you feel a situation is so egregious that it needs to be reported, take the time and explain it to me like I’m five. Put a bow on it. Providing minimal information and expecting me to play Sherlock Holmes to try and piece together a vague situation together on my own almost never happens. 
 

Thanks. 

[Taro T]

Cool.  Had exactly 3 currently active posters on Ignore & 2 were on your list.  Great minds ..., or something to that effect.

 

Thanks.

Thank you @SDS

 

The bot comment is not literal but users like Billstime constantly posting memes without engaging in discussions in my opinion ressemble bots.  I'm pretty sure that these users aren't intelligent enough to actually code their own bots.

Oh no, not my man Billstime!

No they don't fall into the category.  Also, Tiberius has been with us for a long time.

 

@SDS Can one of us vouch for DR?  If he steps out of line again, you can perm ban me.

I understand you have a lot going on and I don't want to contribute to making PPP a source of annoyance for you. For years I dealt with the same neck issue you described and I know how difficult that can make navigating your regular life already even without a bunch of overgrown children asking you to come play nanny in the sandbox. (If you're not already doing so I recommend getting on a consistent exercise regimen. It helped me tremendously).

 

I appreciate you allowing this forum to exist as it has. It's one of the few remaining places on the internet where frank and open discourse is still allowed and has a good core of knowledgeable posters who, in my estimation, have made it something special.

 

I would ask that you consider making DR's ban temporary (and not banning TYTT who is a very talented writer/thinker, and a legit Bills fan who I hope will choose to return if allowed). Sometimes emotions run hot. I know you're not that familiar with DR, but he's a writer. These guys are very emotional. Occasionally he gets riled up, and perhaps he showed his ass in his interactions with you, but he's a good guy who really does bring a lot to the board. The groundswell of support for him speaks to that. (I know I never got this kind of support 😥 and I'm a model citizen ).

 

Again, I know you're busy and I don't want to be a burden, but if you could consider it I know I and many others would really appreciate it.

 

Thanks.

He got himself banned after getting a warning suspension. Read all the crap he put SDS through. Life goes on. 

 

And good job banning some other names. That BillsTime guy was a trainwreck.

Sounds like DR had his second chance and not only abused it, but abused it with malice. He's over on Parlor from the sounds of things so you can hang there with the others who left in solidarity with a guy who tortured SDS for no good reason.

It's my choice.

Sounds like DR had his second chance and not only abused it, but abused it aggressively. 

 

Why do you want him gone? Like him or not (and I do), he makes the place a lot more interesting. He contributes more than you and I combined. He's also a legit bills fan who is part of the community. He's not some rando trolling others. He's passionate about learning and sharing his ideas, and sometimes passionate people let their emotions get the better of them. That doesn't necessarily mean you wash your hands of them.

 

As to the call out thread, I don't expect SDS to know the back story, but to my understanding it was a call out of Gary Busey (who I believe is now posting under some Zebra monicker) who is not a legit poster. He's not here to engage, but simply to troll. Perhaps more specific instructions were given to DR, but my understanding was that the message was that call out threads were forbidden. I know I did not understand the message to mean that we couldn't talk ***** to other posters.

 

One of the things that makes this site great is that we can get a little rough and tumble with each other. We're big boys playing in our big boy stance.* In my younger days I had interactions that got a lot more heated and insulting than anything I've seen DR engaged in (some I probably took too far), and it was all good. I don't harbor any hard feelings and I doubt any of them do either. Being insulted on the internet isn't that hard to deal with.

 

The big problem isn't insults or misinformation - Misinformation can be countered with correct information, and insults can be defended by thick skin. The problem is people that feel the need to burden the proprietor of a website we all enjoy with petty complaints instead of sacking up and handling it themselves like men.*

 

 

* This is not meant to be dismissive of the lovely ladies who grace us with their presence. They seem to be able to handle themselves just fine.

I suggested that TBD and OTW are amazing, and PPP is a cesspool with a stink radiating through the site and wasn't necessary. 

 

The bannings above and lately are a good start, perhaps. 

 

My vouching for SDS was a brown-nose joke.

Maybe you missed the post where SDS described all the crap he did outside the call outs.

It's not that hard. The majority of posters here do that. When you come across one who hurts your feelings, simply put him on ignore. Problem solved.
