And so he reacts like a child who just watched the top scoop of his ice cream cone plop to the pavement.


Nobody really knows what you've been striving to express all these years, Dumbslinger, but it's been fun.

Buh bye!!! :lol:

So just remove Avatar and .sig privileges for however long and remove the offending pictures (or picture posting privileges). An outright ban is wrong, though. It's not like he put kiddie porn up or anything. You know? :?

Kind of like your dick.

Anyway, Ken: what's your beef with me? Is it the black thing? the female thing? the human thing? We can talk for a little bit. There's time before I go out there and find out if I have to go to work today or not.
If anyone (Schmeck) has any digital photos of the fog rolling in on the snow and the mountains and the valley, can you put them up? It's beautiful out here. I just wish people'd stop driving if they're not going to learn how to drive in this. And to the turquoise luxury car that tried to make like the Rapid Rides without the hind end, and ghost-jackknifed down an entire city block: fuck you.

What exactly is it that you do?
Relay operator. The parking lot is still snowed in... and so is my apartment complex. On the bright side, the roads are clear. Which means there'll probably be even more accidents as people mistake 'it's black' for 'it's clear'. On New Year's Eve, no less. Lord help.

Cross your fingers for me, and the rest of us who go in today.

Enjoy your own day off, Todd.


Jsc, he posted porn photos in his avatar and as a thread accent. Do you want to see them?

Thread accent? What is that?
This is a thread accent:

http://www.darksecretvideo.com/big-black-cock.jpg

but with the image tags in place. I just mean, he accented every thread -- regardless of subject -- with the above photo. And what i mean about Reverend Freshmaker is that in about 1998? 1999? (i was still at 'the other company', then) Reverend Freshmaker melted down and went on a hardcore porn posting binge. I think he did it on purpose, though, intentionally seeking a ban. Maybe that's what Gunslinger did, too. The intentional seeking of a ban, I mean.

Even Floyd got posting privileges back, though. And those weren't even real underaged photos he was posting when bt laid the rod down on him.

Some interracial vanilla sex photos are nothing. Certainly not worth a permanent ban.

Actually he spammed the hell out of the board with cock and jizz pics.

6 or 8 threads done up that way in the middle of the night.


I'm generally opposed to bannings, Annie, but maybe you'd like to tell us why he ought not be banned for so blatantly shitting on the board like that.

And a day without coffee? You might as well start responding in Goober McTubber fashion that I should dress myself this morning with a noose for a necktie.

Not what we want, I agree; although there are times that a well placed jizz pic is ok in certain threads, imho.

But in any event, is that worth a lifetime ban?

Cumslinger spamming pron, posting idiotic takes.......

-or-

a repentant Shrubber....

Who do you think is more bannable....lifetime?

Let me ask you a serious question Chip. Does Gunslinger bring ANYTHING to the table? TWIS once said we all drop a turd of a thread here and there (and we do), but that tard has never posted ONE coherent thought that could be taken as being reasonable. I would rather have Shrubber back than Cumguzzler.

Also, I ask EVERYONE to not feed the fat darkie from New Mexico.

TIA

Jsc, in the board world Mgo and I have had an adversarial relationship due to this being a smack board. However, it says something when we both agree on things like this. That shit can get you fired if you post from work.

My attitude toward bannings are consistent with my views on the death penalty: I'm against both. However, putting people's jobs at risk, combined with the fact that 'slinger brings absolutely nothing of value to the board beyond that provided by a speedbag or tackling dummy, is enough to warrant the rare exception. Speaking of rare exceptions:
AP wrote:I ask EVERYONE to not feed the fat darkie from New Mexico.
That is actually pretty funny.

And even rarer than the humorous AP post are those with which I even partially agree w/ Coods. But he does speak the truth, at least as far as meltdowns are concerned, when he says:
Shrubber is every bit the idiot Gunslinger is, but his meltdowns are WAY funnier
For this reason, and because the punishment (length of Shrubber's current banishment) has fit the crime (posting of personal info, I believe), I wouldn't be opposed to his being granted access, even if on a probationary basis, to our little slice of cyberspace.

"Truly deserved" is often "truly subjective." That's why I'm a far more ardent fan of life imprisonment than life denial.
If Smackie, for example, did exactly what Gunslinger did, would he be banned?
Oh, I dunno. I'm not sure if forgetting the cheesy bread is really grounds for banishment.
What if in a JTR movie thread, someone posts nude pics of the leading actress?
In most cases, that poster would get racked. Unless the leading actress was, like, Bea Arthur. Or IB.

You also have to look at one's intent.

Couldn't see it happening, but if Smackie woke up one day and logged onto the board wishing death upon all of us and spammed threads up and down with giant cocks (black, or otherwise), then yep, you betcha, he should get the axe.

Yeah, I see that it can be. The adjective I questioned wasn't the one pertaining to color, which based on being in the parentheses, is what your "or otherwise" related to. The one I questioned dealt with dimension, which you didn't qualify. So, yes, I would recommend a remedial reading and writing class for you.

Jesus, slinger sucked... he posted cock images... banned. What's there to fucking debate? Would you rather a public hearing of some sort first? Checks and balances?

If PSU likes, he could ban anyone he effing wants for whatever reason he effing wants, using whatever checks and balances of his own that he effing wants. 'Slinger slinked by long enough.

Which is why there are admin buttons to remove avatar privileges, and other admin buttons to remove picture posting privileges. That's also why there are handy dandy little tags like NSFW and (!) and (g) and whatever else that can be added by thread starters and mods themselves.

There is no reason whatsoever for a permanent ban because of some random porn photos. And no, if any one who was more liked by the mods than not liked pulled it, there would be no death penalty. That's just how things roll, like in the real world. There's no reason for some people to pretend that's not the case, either.

I'm sure that argument would work great with your boss.

Yes, there is. We already covered that. Opening up multiple threads with porn can get you fired. Just because you make $6 an hour at some shithole job where the closest thing to computer access you have is your digital timecard puncher doesn't mean it isn't a big deal to the rest of us.

Your boss only cares about your productivity. Your boss is only calling you in if they're looking for an excuse to fire your ass.. or to keep from NOT firing your ass. Which has it been, for you?
"I was talking with our IT manager, and he tells me you have pornographic images on your computer. Specifically, pictures of male genitalia. How do you explain yourself?"
If there are photos of female genitalia as well, but the boss only tags persons having male genitalia, how hard (or easy) would it be to claim sexual discrimination -- perceived orientation division -- against one's company if one's other ducks are all in an exemplary row? :?

As a hypothetical, I mean. I get your overriding point.
"Uhhh, they were from a poster on a message board. It's cool, though. We banned that guy's picture-posting abilities."

Do you ever get the big picture, you stupid fucking whore?
If his picture posting privileges are removed, there is no issue.


If one is reading and posting from work, is it possible to set up one's browser to not show pictures (and therefore, the pictures won't be downloaded into one's work cache, and thus no record that you ever 'browsed' the forbidden? or it doesn't work that way)?

And since this is a sports message board and not a work related board for just about ANYONE here........... why come here in the first place, if your job depends upon not wasting company time on the 'net? That's the bigger picture, mgo.
There is no reason whatsoever for a permanent ban because of some random porn photos.
Yes, there is. We already covered that. Opening up multiple threads with porn can get you fired.
may I ask, how many have been fired, or threatened with firing, for coming here? i have heard several posters during the years talk about how a jim rome site was suddenly put on the 'cannot access from work' list. that's a little different.
Just because you make $6 an hour at some shithold job where the closest thing to computer access you have is your digital timecard puncher doesn't mean it isn't a big deal to the rest of us.
We have no internet access whatsoever. We JUST got access to minesweeper and solitaire ;) No one plays them. Why, when you can bring your gameboy or psp or whateveer in during downtimes?

It'd be a very big deal to give us internet access. Productivity would crash through the floor.


And that's the real reason not to access this site, not because of the potential to see pictures of nanas and hoohahs.
Lastly, when did you ever get the idea that the owner/creator of this board can't run it however he fucking wishes?
He/She/They can do whatever they want. It's still too steep a punishment.

Americans.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gremlins

While some critics criticized the film's depictions of violence and greed – such as death scenes, Kate's speech, and the gremlins' gluttony – as lacking comic value, one scholar interpreted these instead as a satire of "some characteristics of Western civilization." The film may suggest that Westerners take too much satisfaction out of violence. Gremlins can also be interpreted as a statement against technology, in that some characters, like Billy's father, are over-dependent on it. In contrast, Mr. Wing is shown having a strong distaste for television.[10] One scholar suggested the film is meant to express a number of observations of society by having the gremlin characters shift in what they are meant to represent. At different times, they are depicted as African Americans, teenagers, the wealthy establishment, or fans of Disney films.[11] The film the gremlins had been watching in the theatre before Billy blew it up was Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
