Feel free to name one..in all seriousness if there was a mistake it would be undone.

DAD was a funny guy, but he was banned correctly.


Then why did they just add a rule to the manifesto that was obviously "unclear" before.

from CT's thread posted in the box

"We apologize for the lack of clarity in policy and enforcement and have added this new rule into the Manifesto to sort out that problem."

Couldn't you make an argument that dad was banned for breaking a rule that was obviously not clear before?  I'm not sure what he said was different from anything found in the politics forum at times.

If dad was banned for what he did, then how come this guy (who is probably a thasarg alias) isn't?

Gator,

Just because it wasnt in black and white doesnt mean the theory wasnt in place before being in writing.

The problem with dad is he was given MULTIPLE chances back for breaking the rules..we have to draw a line at some point.

He blew it by drinking, losing and posting..he knows it too.

Panthers..come on already. You blew it by entering a discussion you shouldnt have..

jerrryaldini - WahooS got banned before CFB season, and was reinstated when a stink was raised.

Good point...

Dad said he didnt want to be a 40 year old covers poster anyway...not sure how much he wants to come back b/c i havent talked to him or anything but Dad should have never been released to the main forums

chris,

The GH issue isnt going to be thrown in here, but there are reasons we do things and it has been done correctly in his case.

br, yep..it has happened in the past. So who was banned incorrectly?

wall - if this is a community forum, and EVERYONE wants him back, what's the problem?  I DO NOT disagree with you that dad crossed the line many times.  I do believe however, that he should not have been quickly banned like he was.  What's the problem with him just being boxed for "forever?"  You have had maximatory in here for over a year apparently. . .

Gator,

We have never breached the "by popular demand" unbannings and I dont see it happening in the future.

Panther, keep tipping your hand..I knew you were an alias before, but I tried to let you hang, now you say stupid things like this..blame me for an April member entering a discussion that dates back over a year.

Yeah I am the reason you got caught..haha

I do open my trap too much, you are right on that front.

I am watching "A Mighty Heart" and missing too much of it debating here.

Some of you guys bitch that I micro-manage, then some bitch that it is a Soviet government that doesnt talk to members..

Impossible to please everyone unfortunately.

Well it seems like everyone else gets to hang around by just creating a thousand aliases, and dad gets pissed on when he's doing things "the right way." Sounds kind of fucked up if you ask me.  Do you not agree?

On the other note - you could have pissed on this thread a long time ago, and are answering a bunch of stuff that you probably don't need to, from all of us you don't owe anything to.  Thanks.

not sticking up for him anymore, the issue is dead and the defending crap is done. I was just making a point. And as far as other people saying in other threads that people sticking up for him is delaying his release might possibly be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

I just wish I had known that I could get out of the PBox by posting in here. I didn't even know it was possible. I just can't wait to get the hell out of hear and talk with Fullbrights and the rest of the boxing forum guys. I've missed having a chance to add some insight on several fights that people looked at in the wrong way. I know my place now, I just want to go back to having fun. Covers used to make some shitty days a little better overall. Nothing was better than having to listen to a lecture all day while thinking about how the lines would moving during class. I hope to return to those days soon.

Alex,

I saw ONE post from you today..thats it.

You do this enough and things click, and in this case it was correct.

Also, why would you make a STUPID post like this? I didnt see it until just now-

GL Aj, I know you were havin trouble in my contest but looks good for the season

I thought you cussed me up and down and said you were finished after the two aliases the other night? Scram already..
