Moderation Rules and Decisions

[Kevin Bonham]

I have moved another Kerry Corker thread that did not refer to a real event to the proper section and renamed it to note it does not refer to a real event.

Note that in future:

1. Any thread referring to a fictitious event that is not clearly tagged as being so in the title is very likely to be deleted.
2. Any thread that does not have as its obvious and primary intention the discussion of an actual event or club, and that is posted in the tournaments sections, is very likely to be deleted.

ALiteralHog banned from the shoutbox indefinitely for obvious trolling. If he learns how to spell my name he might be readmitted.

[Kevin Bonham]

ALiteralDog banned (hydra of ALiteralHog).

ALiteralHog would be banned for using a hydra to escape a ban, except that the ban was actually a mistake on my part; it was meant to be a shoutbox ban.

There is however the matter of ALH using the ALD account to again misrepresent his own nature, this time by falsely claiming to be on several boards and executive positions.

ALH can stay shoutbox-banned while I consider the matter further.

Deleted some shouts. When two posters have been in conflict with each other on here, it's probably not ideal for one to offer opinions about the other's medical circumstances (however reasonable those opinions might otherwise be). Might delete more.

I've removed 12 posts from the Ukraine war thread that started with the following antichrist post:

It would terrible for USA to limit non essential vehicle travel until this is over.

UK got bombed during WW2 and didn't complain

I'll put them back as a split thread if anyone cares enough to suggest a coherent non-insulting title for them and post the suggestion to this thread:

Sir Cromulent Sparkles banned for 3 months for making a completely false claim in the shout box and not issuing a retraction when requested.

Edit: SCS was advised when banned that:
“When the ban expires unequivocally retract your false claim or the ban will be extended.”
