ktm Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 It does not matter what rules were broken, it is that they were broken. Look up (deleted) and (deleted) and you'll see their bans are lifted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_hunt Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 What ever happened with that? I remember joining the month or two before the Pinks episode. Just saw the pinks section. Don't go there, Pinks is history, a horrible trajedy in the hybridz history, hopefully to never be repeated again. Send me a PM if you really have a ? Im just surprised an admin hasnt chimmed in an enlighten us as to what rules were broken What happens to other members really isn't for the general masses to be in on and I feel that appropriate action was taken IMO. There is alot that you all don't see or hear about that goes on behind the scenes. If person gets banned it can be a day, week, 30 days, whatever length or permanent depending on the situation. That being said, what we do really isn't up for discussion and the bottom line is that we felt it was warranted for whatever reason. Typically a week ban or 30 days is just a slap on the wrist to let you know that it is serious. Consquently things like direct attack, PM or email telling admin staff to shove it and how someone is going to make our life here at hybridz a living hell is a one way ticket out of here permanently. There are other ways of getting voted off the island as well, like starting threads like this. jk Keep in mind that hybridz is a privaledge not a right, kind of like your drivers licence. Break the law and you don't drive your car or surf here, whichever you prefer. Someone else put it like "It's their house, live by their rules". I think you all unerstand anyway, it's not a democracy and neither are most other net places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 There is a lot of discussion behind the scenes regarding banning people. Its not really done on a whim unless something needs to be done immediately to protect the members and the site (porn, spam, racism, personal attacks, etc.) Some argue that there's too much discussion, some argue there's not enough - but that's all part of the discussion.

woldson Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The way the admins handle this is honorable. There is no point in discussing the matter because it will not change the action. Also they are being respectfull to the individual in not putting it into a public arena to for a public crap fest that would still be pointless. I would have to guess there have been times they might have wanted too, but they are also subject to their own rules and dignity;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I think there should be a 3 strike rule/meter, you could put it under the post-o-meter so everyone would know where they are at. There are those who drive rental cars locked in low gear right at redline, simply because they can...er not mentioning/implying/admitting/instigating/pointing at/nudging/ or otherwise saying anybody in particular... But I know having a cool 'Redline Indicator' on your posts might incline some to see just how far they can go... It would be cool, to be sure...but I can see someone making a bad decision on the premise that they aren't even 'in the yellow yet'... Then a time out would be the equivalent of starting your Impala with 41K miles on the odo after school and dropping #6 exhaust valve through the piston. All those other times you got away with bouncing the speedo needle off the right hand turnsignal indicator, and then THIS happens...you wonder 'where's the justice' and 'dad will NEVER believe I just STARTED the damn thing!' Again, not mentioning/implying/admitting/instigating/pointing at/nudging/ or otherwise saying anybody in particular... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
