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.Karvaek said:Essentially, Pizza is a customer, and for all intents and purposes, we're a company. We don't have to cater to Pizza's needs, and as such, we're allowed to refuse services to whichever customer we choose. We're simply exercising the "STFU Clause" that may or may not have been written into your contract.
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.
Here's why not. I've been doing this for half your life. 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 reasonsKarvaek said:But wasn't that a bit too extreme? A little too trigger-happy for banning members?
He was talking about complaining to things we cannot control as a site. However, Pizza can control his behavior. It's whether he wants to or not that is at issue. 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.Karvaek said:Hey, I wouldn't know if it could be controllable or not. Hell I didn't even know if it can be controlled in the first place. But I guess it might be his habit.
