[buzzbass]

I pulled user name change that got me banned for a week

 

[Mark Wilson]

Wow. 10 pages on how to get banned? Neat-o!

But actually, I'm happy to answer any questions as best I can.

You know this is all my fault - what I originally meant was How Does Somebody Get A Band from Talkbass! Gotta love auto -correct

Haha! I finally found out! The 'ol "trick the moderator" thing!

Well, that was not my best idea. However, the thread was deleted because of nasty responses (and possibly the moderator faux pas)....not because of things I said.

Nope, it was closed because of your very first post. Nice try, though.

I would prefer free speech, but the rules of site are pretty clear on cussin', cousin.

Free speech protects you from retribution from the government. It does not, however, cover privately owned websites.

I'm just curious what someone has to do to actually get 86'd from Talkbass! I saw a post where someone said Jeff Berlin was banned. I know he's an opinionated guy but banned?

I don't know how to get banned. I do know that if you stick to the posted rules and respect others you have nothing to worry about. Sometimes we even bend the rules a little as long as we keep it respectful and PG or maybe PG13 we are good. Did I mention respectful?

So, the mod that dinged me didn't think there was a profanity filter but it's pretty obvious there is?

It sure would be cool of all y'all if you could add new ones there to help us all stay safe. Maybe start with ******** and it's plural, and add the plurals of others like guitard?

Oh, and it okay to use alternate expressions like "testosterone head" (AKA ******** ) if not directed at a user?

How about things like saying you got forked at GC or ? If not good luck getting the profanity filter to work on that LOL. Kinda funny, I remember a canine related forum where they had to unblock the proper term for a female (a dog is the male BTW).

Sure would be helpful to have a complete list of banned words available but I suppose if you posted it you'd have to ban yourself LOL - and a functioning up-to-date profanity filter would work as well or better anyways .

Actually, it's OK to use EITHER word AND direct it at a user.....
....as long as you are a Moderator.

Is that a recipe for banishment?

Only if you assemble it.

Sadly, fire only makes it stronger.

Or 700 ?

Nobody got banned from Talkbass. True story.

Posting about your luxurious airship while publicly endorsing an "outsider" candidate for the oct-annual Moderator election will gain you extra scrutiny.

Fortunately, I resold said airship to another forum member, that same "outsider" candidate, before the ban-hammer came all the way down. Unfortunately, that forum member disappeared without a trace not long after.

Some believe that one of the other moderator candidates may have developed a jealousy of their rival's air-superiority and may have been responsible for the mysterious disappearance. Others contend that the disappearance can simply be attributed to him being a toilette paper dispenser that was never originally designed to post on bass forums.
