Noooo! It's gone!?

BigRedFist,

Rest assured I'm not about to hack you, nor will I be bothered to find you. When push comes to shove, hacking is a crime and you'll stand to face the legal consequences of this action.

I can't speak for the mods on the russbo forum, but I have full confidence of the mods here, and they will take hacking as a serious offence. And rest assured, they have been given the heads up.

[Toby]

Once again, you're an idiot Eyebrows. No-one's "hacked" anything here. BRF certainly hasn't, so why would the mods care who he/she is? The only one who appears to have cracked anything is you cracking Ego's account. I say this because when he's on, or when you're pretending to be him, you both deny that it's actually you posting. Therefore, assuming that Kelvin were actually telling the truth, if a mod were to track the IP of any one of the posts you've made it would seem that you'd cracked his account.

Anyway, most authorities probably couldn't care less that someone had cracked someone else's online forum account.

[Ego_Extrodinaire]

you can go on and do your best to convince yourself that this was harmless, and continue to call me BL, but he / she f8cked her sincerely today. You are an idiot to think your immune if the perp thinks he / she has cause.

How's anyone damaged by not being able to post on a Kungfu forum?

Apparently BL will die in Chinese Jail if she isn't able to use the Russbo forum or something. I don't know, this whole conversation doesn't make any sense.

werd. maybe someone should delete this thread?

[GeneChing]

I will be leaving to China tomorrow. While I'm gone, other powers that be will be taking over as the primary administrators of the forum. They may be more rigorous about banning than me. And they will probably be watching this thread.

[Buddy]

Great, Once they recognize Blewme's style as coming from Kelvis' screen name he's gone too.

[GeneChing]

Rather than sort it all out, for which they do not have the time, they may decide to just ban everyone involved. From an unattached point of view, detractors might sound even more threatening than the trolls.

Think of it like a new sheriff in town, setting up a speed trap at a popular intersection where everyone speeds.

[GeneChing]

First of all, we have a much larger forum here than russbo. I heard that when BL went on, Doc had only banned one person prior to her. We've banned dozens. While the BL controversy raged over the last week, we did some other banning that were not so blatent. Our general policy on banning is to encourage freedom of speech, which is to say that I might not agree with what you say, but I'll defend your right to say it. Of course, blatent porn and attacks are bannable offenses. But BL's case was borderline, as are some of the other members that are being accused of being trolls as well as the accusers. Just as in our society, borderlines tend to fall in the cracks and stay there. They know how to push buttons to get attention, but they often don't commit crimes that are overt.

Now, I'm not saying that Doc's forum is any less than ours - it's a great forum, just different. I think it's kinda funny that she went there after here, actually. From now on, I can say my 'little disciple bro' had to take my sloppy seconds. Nevertheless, we didn't dump BL there - it's a free internet, she went on her own accord. Ironically, I saw Doc in SF just before he left for Shaolin this summer and the subject of BL came up. The next time we get together, I'm sure we'll have a good joke over it, assuming we remember...

If you have some moral indignation over the forum, well, that's just silly. It's a web forum. I'm sure that there's some other situation that deserves the attention of your indignation much more than we do.

*Shrug* I like Gene's moderation style. His detachment is especially admirable. I OTOH, with a natural aggressive streak, am too volatile to remain detached. I like arguing for argument's sake. Unfortunately I waste a lot of time doing so sometimes.

[SimonM]

Toby, my tendency to argue when confronted with people who disagree with me (especially on forums) is part of the reason I never moderate anywhere.

[Ego_Extrodinaire]

at as* licking ........... you know the score Gene, lay it down how you wish........
