BF is like a soup kitchen that you walk into and complain that your appetizer is cold. We've never banned someone for voicing their opinion at BF, but Pizza's taken to constantly trolling this board complaining about everything. Look, if you have something benefitial to add, step right up, but this isn't the "bitch and moan forum". It's the Help Desk, so we can help.
Not only had the issue been addressed, but people were even attempting to help fill him in on what had occurred only to hear more complaints. We don't pay the staff enoughanything to put up with that kind of nonsense. Quote: |

That's where my experience comes in. We use bans/warnings to indicate to our members what behavior is inappropriate, and to indicate the seriousness of the issue. We don't ever ban someone for an offense like this. We ban them for a chain of events that is capped with something like this. We're planning to implement a more automated system (thanks vb) rather than the mostly subjective one we have now, so you guys will have even less to complain about. In the mean time, compile a list of every person you think was banned from here improperly, and I'll tell you that's less than .01% of the people who have ever registered here. And that you're wrong, we banned them for the right reasons Quote: |

The temp ban is issued to suggest that Pizza modify his behavior. Habits can be broken, and maybe a ban is the best way to do it. We don't apply a "disadvantaged childhood" or "habit" modifier to our actions here. | ...* |

| How does that make us blessed? We have a weak staff that knows if they banned and kept banned the members that were banned
(Jason, DM, Me, Jenny, Austin, Gimmi, so on and so forth) that there would be NOTHING left.
You're saying we're blessed? You guys (the admins) are blessed that we constantly put up with your bullshit and how you guys have NO idea how to run a board. And I'm using 'you guys' as the admin team. You (x42) seem like the only one that knows what the **** their doing.
Which is sad since Roach has been an admin for over a year. | |

| It's actually a blessing not having to read Austin's posts, quite frankly.

Methinks not. :P
Actually, our total posts is quite close to BlizzForums now. We have always had more members and threads than BlizzForums.* | |

| Trust me LB. I've been around here almost 2 years longer than you. We've almost ALL been banned at one time or another. If they were all for good, there wouldn't be any members left. We're struggling enough as it is. | |

That doesn't mean the quality of posting has gone up at all. People would come and take other's places, you act as if the internet is make up of 100-200 people. | |
