TEXAS COLONY SIDE 5 This is the official moderation announcements and public suggestions thread. Any significant Moderation actions while be posted and updated here in. Also any specific public requests can be filed here. This is not a discussion thread and any feedback from my self will come in either pm form or via official announcement here, secondary discussions will be deleted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-02-16 As per request the material moders toolbox thread has been moved to material suggestions as it was more relevant there than in the general. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-03-02 Looked into the Vigilinks operations on the forum, Proboards is officially partnered with Vigilinks as an advertising revenue and info farming, seeing as the board and accounts are free the is pretty much the "Cost" of existing on Proboards as a forum. Hosting information is cheap, but not free and so this is basically what is supporting the general Proboards system in conjunction with traditional advertisements. If any one dislikes this it is up to them individually to disable it. The discussion area will also be reset. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-03-05 As a result of a numerous incidents, and multiple separate complaints, User DeltaV has been banned for one week ending effectively 2017-03-12, next Sunday. If anyone needs a further list of details feel free to pm me, this is by no means a sudden or sporadic judgement, and is the end result of numerous warnings and polite deterrence not being acknowledged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-04-29 Newageofpower has been banned for one day ending on the 30th for the addition in a long line of language penalties. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2018-02-06 Because of the bot situation i will now be vetting any new accounts on here, should help us greatly in the future! Thanks to Q-Switched for the prompt response! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2019-07-04 BigBombR, Rocket Witch and cipherpunks have been made mods. This should go a long way to address the spambot issue. Link to a list of the staff members: childrenofadeadearth.boards.net/members?view=staff

This is supposed to be a free and open forum of discussion about COADE, not a gulag where one must be afraid of those in charge. This banning is unjust, and there was no warning that banning was imminent. If debating with the Moderator is a ban worthy offense, please put that in the Code of Conduct. That would be far more effective than what has happened here.

That would be far more effective than what has happened here. That was ironically enough a coincidence, in less than a month and half of activity you have been reported the most, even more than Newageofpower was reported for bad behaviour. Further where as a majority of NAOP's reported posts where from a single individual, all of the reports relating to your activities came from separate accounts with no correlation what so ever of newness to the forum or seniority etc. Since the first incident where i warned you, you have repeatedly insulted others while simultaneously deleting your posts retro actively, posted long and redundant posts on posts on posts. Further as cited from the code of conduct you insisted be created namely "don't be a dick" was cited in all of the reported posts. Further if i had been stricter and merely implemented a simpler three strikes policy you would have been banned half a month ago, instead i gave you the benefit of the doubt and allowed for twice that number of incidents to occur. Bans do not get a warning actions that have been reported get warnings, i have warned you multiple times and you have ignored my warnings multiple times. Eventually the scale tipped.

Did he delete those posts or was that Argonbalt? Either way it doesn't look good for him that he made a second account to ban evade and went along to post normally, should've signed on as a guest and posted a ban appeal.

He deleted his posts, and I agree he should've argued against his ban rather than making things worse.

My only other option is to ban all guest ip's, but that is a very scatter shot method to dealing with this and harms random others. As the ban was an ip ban he clearly went out of his way to switch ip's for his second account as well, which i also banned, and now he is on his third ip to post as a guest.

If things get bad, we could ban the most commonly used proxies/VPNs as a compromise. I know 4chan has an extremely comprehensive ban list of them, probably a publicly available one out there.

My appeal/comment was deleted. Not by me I assure you. Look, I started 3 pretty busy threads all centered around debate about some subject of COADE. In those discussions, people often have very strong opinions and emotions can become flared. One person became very upset because I did not believe lasers were the most dominant weapon. Another because I thought automation was very common in COADE ship. And a third because of laser mirrors. But we are all big boys here. We should be able to choose to debate or to not engage in debate as adults. Debating is not a crime. Look I'm not doing anything wrong and I'm not going to stop.

Everyone became heated because you discredited our points, refused to argue against us, continued to repeat points that were proven wrong, and claimed we were using ad hominem where we weren't. 3. Everyone is acting like adults about this other than yourself. 4. You have done a lot that is wrong, and we highly suggest you please stop. You have made repeat offenses of the rules that you yourself have urged, and have been rightly punished for doing so. Your mute is temporary and you are welcome to rejoin us in discussion afterwards. In the meantime please stop making things worse for yourself by getting around your mute and making more false accusations and lies that only hurt your case.
