Bannage standards? Ze?

[Coffee]

So I have to ask...

Is it just me or does it seem extreme that rather than my post (or even just the ghastly image) being deleted, I got banned from the board without even a PM or a warning of any kind from Ze? All I found after I discovered I still had private message capability, and my first clue that something was wrong, was a PM from Frieda saying get rid of the image...given that I'm an over 2 year member with fairly good standing and overall mostly respectful behavior on the board (recent embarassing rant excepted)?

Whats up with that Ze?!

And whats up with this Ze?:

AntiMatter Posted offensive, irritating, argumentative shite and spammed for weeks b4 banning.

Malarky/Blue Spammed board, disrupted community, and Enraged many members for months...Not banned.

MoN...In midst of serious and personal argument threatened to hire hit man to drive Coffee off of board... blurb about not threatening violence unnless in jest added to FAQs...Not banned

Coffee...1 offensive image...Immediate bannage, no warning.


Got standards?

edit to add...
I don't want to sound like over reacting, I wasn't upset once I found out what happend...I realize I wasn't "deleted' from the board, only that my posting priviliges were temporarilly suspended...but my point is, where was the "whats up coffee?" from Ze?

don't you ever, ever presume to compare yourself to my friend mark grey!!


in my opinion ze was perfectly correct in withdrawing posting rights instantly and without question from any user, you included, who caused us to set eyes on the utterly despicable image in your post.

It could have happened to any one of us just as easily, what with the image-linking that occurs on this board. Any uncouth website hoster could switch images resulting in an inadvertent, inappropriate image link.

But for the grace of God, there goes I. Or you. Or any one of us.

not quite

i think that to some extent the likelihood of it happening to someone will vary according to the grubbiness of whatever image they initially post

Heh. I was reminded of the time when I tried to start a "rebus story" thread, and had serious concerns that zero had Tourette's because every second post said, "**** YOU!" from some angry image hoster.

The likelihood that you'll get swapped for a vile image probably has most to do with how much bandwidth theft pisses off its victim. However, one can't help but think that images taken from Good Housekeeping pages, even in retaliation, are less likely to be as "grubby" as the one we (most unfortunately) were subjected to. So yes, it might not hurt to look at where you're getting your images from, or just host them yourself if you are at all in doubt (it's so easy to do now, and free).

The other instances with the users mentioned and this one are apples/oranges: Ze has a specific guideline about offensive images, though without a specific consequence outlined -- caveat emptor. He has no specific guidelines about posting excessively, having an overly intrusive manner, or wishing death on other users.

This is not true. I have seen that swapped out image before and the original was not grubby.

I'm really surprised you haven't had an image swapped out on with all the bandwidth you steal.

got standards? you posted (be it unintentionally) one of the most disgusting disturbing images I have ever seen. you got banned or had your posting privileges revoked until you were able to explain yourself. now you're back and everything is ok and yet you're trying to invoke some sort of "pity party parade" in your defense? get over it -- why is it so important to keep rehashing this??
