Signing off......

I think TB should have a sticky somewhere that regularly names and shames the bad boys, detailing the nature of their crime and the penalty incurred. Kind of like a league table.

Yep....I was always kind of curious why Bluewine got booted.

I have tried to figure out why someone got banned before and it's hard to do. It's almost as though Harvey Keitel gets called and removes any evidence (offensive posts, etc) as soon as the hammer comes down.

I think it would act as educational to leave evidence behind so I know what not to do. Like a chalk outline of a body just outside of the crosswalk.

I'm not sure TB is able to leave offensive posts up. They have an obligation to maintain a pg web site.

It might be suitable for the lobby.

I understand that, but I can't imagine too many folks getting the ax based on swearing or innuendo; most people here are familiar enough with those rules. I have a hunch that most bannees toe the line too often or are offensive in some way towards another.

I guess I just find it weird if I log on and see "banned" under someone's username and no recent posts left behind as to why. Maybe it's just a way to keep us in line. I don't need it. Whenever I come close to posting something questionable, I picture John Turner's avatar and instinctively hit the back button. Something about that guy's arm vein snapping back in Cat People pops in my head also.
 
Hey don't blame me, I actually think we Norwegians have almost as many guns per capita as you guys, and we're godless stinking socialists. Or something.

Oh, and BOOTSTRAPS!

Shhhhh. be careful using the S word around these parts... Oh wait, twofingers left.

Since we are talking about lists, we should have a list of those who have publicly quit (and of course ragequits) because that we can know who came back. There is an old Joe Nerve thread somebody linked once where he goes on about leaving talkbass, he is most definitely back.

The banned list would be nice, it would clear up some confusion (at least for me) I thought it had been a while since I saw a bluewine post.

I remember hermasario (sp?) quit inside a thread she started about some band management issue and she has since come back.. That's two.

I'm still waiting for lowner to come back :D
