And you don't know what I was banned for, but what the hell does that have to do with using it as an excuse to be an ass to others who weren't involved in it?

I see I am in a large contingent of people banned from the SF boards over practically nothing. The mods over there are on a power trip.
You don't understand, I fucking hate him. Like no other, ever. I hate that emoticon.
Good question. Bigger population base perhaps? Or maybe they just had a bigger head start here on SportsHoopla.
We don't want trolling of any sort. I know the hawks board on ESPn was trolled but some of you trolled the niners board on ESPN, and they want nothing to do with that here. They have zero tolerance. They had a board ruined before and they don't want to have it happen again. You might not like it, but you can't change it.
Then simply have a no outsider at all policy and be done with it. I was banned for saying maybe Bowman asked for the popcorn that was thrown down on him because he tore up a sign just a few feet away from that the prior visit to the stadium and those are all ticket holders that remember that shit. How is that trolling?
The problem isn't trying to keep your board from getting away, it's that they ban people who haven't done anything that resembles trolling. No warnings, no private messages nothing. In my case not only was I banned from the SF board, but the asshole banned me from the entire site and said in that thread I was lucky I didn't get a perm ban. A perm ban from the hoop for what? For saying maybe you shouldn't tear up fans posters if you don't want popcorn thrown at you? That's worthy of being kicked for good?
Those fuck wads shouldn't be allowed to ban anyone. Period. They have no clue how to moderate a forum. None.
Like I said, just make it a SF only board and be done with it then because it already sort of is.
Dude we just lost the NFCCG in the most painful fashion and emotions were running high not the time to come over and expect some "good natured ribbing" to be tolerated, was a perma ban from the forums a bit excessive ? I would say so, but in all fairness there were some other Hawk fans who were generally trolling and I think the Mods just had enough with anything resembling a Seahawk poster and a smart ass remark. Boogiewithstu has been posting on the 49er boards for a long ass time and never has any problem with the Mods because he is respectful and actually talks football.
And about the whole poster ripping thing, what was the dumbass thinking when he handed it over to him, he was gonna sign it and politely hand it back ? It was a Poster bashing his team he gave it to him to get a reaction like that out of him.
Bottom line is I wasn't doing anything that resembled trolling and was told I was. Not in any sort of private message or even a warning on that board, no I was banned from the hoop without any warning and read on that thread that it was for 3 days and I'm lucky it wasn't for good. Now you can debate what I was saying, but there is no debating that this was an egregious example of abuse of power.
Whether or not the fan was stupid for letting him take their sign, being upset if fans near that area later dump popcorn down seems dumb. I also said on that thread if caught the person who threw it should be removed from the season tickets and I hoped his injuries would not prevent his return next year. Hardly the words of a troll.
Anyone from the CBS boards remember Orton4prez? That guy was a complete douche but always good for a couple of laughs. Sometimes there are trolls that make me chuckle. He was one of those. I also got a kick out of MasterAgain. Shameless Broncos homer, but that dude could really rile up the masses.
SportsHoopla has it's own share of characters, but tame when I compare it to CBS (or from what it sounds like the ESPN boards were too).
This is how my banning went on the SF board.
Me: wassup?
Beaker: Ban him. Biggest troll on the net.
Patterson: Ban him.
Mod to me via email: Please don't troll other teams boards.
Beaker: Fuck you Uhsplit.
Me: You should take your own advice and Ef Off.
Perma ban in effect. Weakest sauce I ever saw.
I would like to see a smack thread on their page, but they can't seem to handle anything at all. Thin skinned sheep.
