It's creeping into the questionable area.
You kinda gotta work at getting banned. I said a naughty at a guy and only got two points. Seems that you get adequate warning.
Watching the ban hammer fall can be entertaining, but for my money, there's nothing like a good rage quit!
This is why we should be informed what caused someone to become banned. Examples are better teachers than rules.
See above.
Shouldn't this be in banned management?
hear no fender ,see no fender ,speak no fender ,post no fender ...lol
Yes, but if the evidence is cleaned up then there's little opportunity for others to learn from it if they haven't been checking TB all day due to work or having an offline life
John Lennon argued that Elvis for all intents and purposes died when he entered the army.
Akin to that, I felt Nobody died when he exchanged his po-faced, all-glories-to-Fender Cat Persona for that of crotchety, angry old white guy (talk about a difficult persona with which to distinguish oneself, particularly round these parts). Sometimes it is preferable not to know the performer behind the mask.
As For SF, I mourn his absence. I found his louche persona and Seinfeldian, "nothing happens" posts to be sufficiently amusing that I had come to anticipate them. His low-rent, besotted, 'let it all hang out' style made him a sort of inhouse barroom philospher. Unfortunately, he was better and tweaking noses than taking tweaks, and spent a lof of time whining at the moderators, who for the most part went out of their way to offer SF well-meant advice on improving hia game both on tb and in life in general. These good deeds went unrewarded, of course, and the car careened on toward the cliff.
One commonality between Nobody and SF was the tendency to give repeated voice to a persecution complex. In that regard one might argue both were 'asking for it.'
Is there any way to tell if someone is perma-banned as opposed to simply on a 'time out'?

They're always back within 24 hours. Or you can at least see them viewing the thread where they rage quit in their profile status.
The purpose of banning someone, is they posted something that should not be posted, therefore keeping it posted, defeats the entire purpose, doesn't it?Yes, but if the evidence is cleaned up then there's little opportunity for others to learn from it if they haven't been checking TB all day due to work or having an offline life
Perhaps a rogue's gallery, with rules violated, rather than the actual content.
But then, that is targeting and impugning the reputation of those banned.
Posting the content would lead to debate, and further bans for questioning the validity of the decision.
It is often far more than just one misstep across the line (not always)

This is the only forum I have never been banned from.
I fear I am losing my edge.

In all fairness the Mandolin forum is REALLY soft....call one guy a douche and BANG.
Would it be fair to ban someone, even if they were first time a Fenders?
