Bannings and Suspensions

[Ilkinio]

We have been discussing it and are going to take a very tough line. Just wait a little while for the announcement. I am sure most members will find the steps we are taking to be the right thing for the forum.

I don't want to lose any forum members, but some people have to be taught some manners.
Thanks.

You're joking right?! The ass licking troll is finally gone?!!!!!! Fantastic decisions but should have been made a long time ago. Does he ever get to come back though?

 

[Interista nr.1]

Finnaly azz is gone from here, i agree that he was cancer of this forum. He provoced many people here, and it was i belive his highest priority- to provoke other members, not discuss things with respect.
Any time someone wouldn't agree with him about player, he would say how crap and idiotic players we have and verbaly attacks other members who don't agree with him.
Also Ibra told him to shut up, when Ibra say it it must be like that

While I couldnt give a crap about some drama queens banning, i dont agree with the reasoning.
So just because there are 10 idiots on the forum, who cant ignore a drama queen and seem obsessed with him, rather than ignoring him, we ban the drama queen?
I know it was being a drag, and I was pretty pissed off reading the topic "top 10 worst SERIEA transfers", which became a topic about the aforementioned drama queen, rather than about the transfers, but I fail to see how that is drama queen's fault.

I know he annoys everybody, but I am pretty sure you guys could have found a better reason? Like his insulting attitude towards other members, rather than setting a precedent, that if you are negative and 20 different people talk about you, you'll be banned.

Also strong cut down on racism? He was just kidding around, I dont know why darky got so pissed off.
But does that mean I wont be able to make fun of Suneet or Han for having a very small penis?

 

[Ilkinio]

shahz, you know the difference. And you know that i'm not drama queen.

Well i think all in all it was a good move by the mods. Even if it somehow seems a bit harsh towards azz, but it seemed to be the only solution to bring back some quality to the forums.
It s kind of sad that it had to end like this, coz even if azz was very negative and attention seeking he sure knew he s football.

Anyway i think u guys did the right thing and i hope the forum will again be like it was a couple of years back.

Wtf happened with Azz? Now I'll have to see posts like

1. Milito will bring us CL.
2. Cassano can play AM
3. Ibra is the best in europe. :howler:

No mate. Its not just black or white, you used to contribute with some quality posts before, just be normal, you can criticize the club, but without being a cancer. I hope you understand what we are trying to do and contribute.

Very good decision.

 

[K.I.]

Wow,shit decision and a very bad reason as well. You might have wanted to text him first before doing this. I dont agree with this. And so what if he criticizes players? People give people way to much attention, and the fact that his posts let to a ban proves my point.

 

[VLE]

I'm having hard time understanding how racism isn't put above this.

the 1 thing that came to my mind when i knew he was banned.

i may not know em like most of you guys but, i like seeing many pages brought to threads because of his comments/opinion.makes discussion more useful to guys liek me without the knowledge of you guys

anyway he might have done something bad that upset the mods, so whatever

 

[Rimpel]

FINALLY, I don't care why he was banned. He was just a troll, not a fan at all.

 

[Forza ragazzi]

How long is he banned for?

That's just it, he's wasn't criticizing, it's pretty obvious he just wanted attention and get people angry. He was flamebaiting.

Khaled, we must make a clear distinction between flamebait and criticism. There are many people here who continue to criticize Inter and rightly so, but doing that with a tone and attitude only intended to draw an emotional response is one of the cancers of the Internet.

In this case I believe the mods made the right decision in what was a very special case, of a unique and intelligent person who at the end of the day was a troll.

However I suggest that we don't ban people without a forum rule to support it. In this case the rule can say "flamebaiting is not allowed and will lead to a ban".

I encourage you to read both these wikipedia articles, and you might agree with my point:

Bad decision IMO. Despite those repetive bashings of Zlatan and the team in general, he also posted some good stuff. Others might even like his style, some hate, it's perfectly understandable. Thats how it is in real life, some like pussy some prefer dick (avocado cesar). And that's why there is the IGNORE option. If you don't like him, simply ignore him. Banning is sort of unfair toward the ppl who actually like to read him. This forum ain't so popular that it could ban one of it's most interesting contributors (writingwise ofc).

So I repreat, unban him and people who can't stand him, use IGNORE.

He also made racist remarks.

I'm having hard time understanding how racism isn't put above this.

We have banned at least 2 people for racism in the last month. If there's anyone who we missed then please report their posts or inform a mod/admin and we will have a look at it.

How long is he banned for?

Its a permanent ban. Even if we had decided that this was just a normal ban Azz was on a final warning have been banned twice before, unless my memory is deceiving me.

I know some of you don't like the decision and even some of the mods/admins were unsure, when we had a vote it was 4-2 in favor of the ban.

We had tried advocating the ignore function in terms of dealing with AZZ but that simply had not worked. When posters are forced to use the ignore function it causes some conversations not to flow properly.

Bottom line is he was destroying the atmosphere at the forum. There's is always room for a good debate where some might get upset occasional but with Azz each and every debate would lead to a confrontation. We don't ban guys because they are negative, do you guys see us trying to ban VLE,Cafe Cordoba or any of the other guys who tend to side on the negative side of inter?? AZZ was a unique case.

Also for the record this isn't the first forum he is banned from. He got banned from xt forum . He has returned there since under numerous aliases and the last while the mods/admins has just given up banning him.
