See ya. He was on thin ice before, so should have kept it chill. I find the guy obnoxious af so glad he's gone. He is always on about how much he hates the game which isnt cool. If he shot his alliance in the foot with this, then that's on him and you all should tell him to lose the shitty attitude.

Roses are red
Purple are the Damson
Cheers really needs to
come back including Ted Danson

fixed...

Often discussions like this are deleted from the main forum and relegated to the amnesiac nature of the SB, but I am going to be offline for a significant portion of today and will be unable to sustain a long-term debate in that venue until tomorrow. So I am making the argument here in hopes it can be read, clarification achieved, and decisions made. I am making it here as I respect the communities opinions on this. And I am making it here as I am hung over and in need a hair of the rabid vodka wolf which bit off my arm.


This could still be deleted and this discussion held in private if Chief wishes. If you reply to me in the SB I will most likely not see it today.

Yesterday I came in from mowing half the yard, a movie and a good smoke to find CH, one of my best players consiglieres has been banned in a potentially long term punishment. Finals for an event he rightly won are to be passed to the next player in line. The banning occurs at a critical juncture, 1 week prior to an event as we are in full swing in preparations.

In the SB I was told I should know why he was banned, and that he called some players names. CH told me all he did was shit talk The Captain, he would like to be unbanned and is prepared to help us with the event. He is currently banned from the forum but not in game, but coordinating camp participation for a banned player is a logistical nightmare and his main contributions typically occur in our alliance sub anyway.

My first thought on hearing about the banning was did CH come at Chief? That is not like him. Chief has said numerous times in the past that we can say whatever we would like to each other just don't come at him. Simple. So did he? If not why is he long term banned?

Why didn't people just call CH names back as they would before? Verbal Jiu Jitsu was a long tradition on this forum, does this mean CH is the undisputed champ of that? Is this a change that will occur going forward? Are we becomming Neo Pets? Is this happening because we let women into MMA?

If he did not come at chief, did the rules change? I guarantee you more heinous shit has been said between players here with only a 24 hour timeout. 24 hour banning has long been the traditional punishment for going to far at another player, and even then was rarely utilized. So I feel like my player was given a life sentence instead of a night in the drunk tank for a bar fight. Why were we not told about this forum rule change? Should we expect this rule going forward?



I motion to have CHs banning reduced to 24 hour as we were not informed of any changes to the banning rules. Imposing a harsher punishment without warning is a Cecil Peoples level disparity of justice, and by the power of Jon Jone's destroyed nasal cavities I believe that our community is better than that.

Please let me know your thoughts or respond privately if you wish and let us get this sorted out.

[-] What are the rules of conduct for the forum?
Welcome to the MMArmy forum! Please read all the forum rules before posting/using the speak box. Please Note: The ability to participate on the forum is a privilege and not a right. By using the forum you agree to the following rules. Disregard and breaking of the forum rules will lead to banning/forum access restriction. Moderators have the right to ban and restrict access. Being banned from the forum does not mean you are banned from the game. Do not create an alternate name to publicly post with if you are temporarily banned. That name will be banned as well and your ban may be extended. If you are banned, take the time to consider why you were banned. If you come back to the forum with the same attitude and actions that got you banned, additional bans incurred by you may be longer eventually leading to an ip address ban. Disputes between forum members: If a dispute arises between yourself and another forum member please attempt to resolve it in a civil manner, preferably by Private Message (PM). If a resolution cannot arise PM a moderator or admin to help arbitrate. 1a) Be civil and respectful to your fellow forum users. 1b) No Flaming: Does this really need to be explained? If you find a post you're writing is entirely about insulting someone else, cursing and generally not putting together a logical on-topic argument, pause, count to 10. Please note if members complain to us about constant PM harassment we will step in. 2) Attempt to stay on topic: Related to the above. Some topics naturally move off-topic and we will not be strict on enforcing these. On the whole however, rather than take the current thread off-topic either post a new thread or bump an existing one. 3) No Flame/OT-baiting: No posting of comments where the only purpose is an attempt to get someone else to drag it off topic or get him or her to flame you. Snide remarks, one line off-topic posts with no content etc. 4) Try to avoid double posting: If you need to change a post, edit it rather than post an immediate reply. This is more of a guideline than a rule: if it doesn't appear you're spamming it shouldn't be an issue. 5) This is an all-ages game and forum. Please keep this in mind when posting. A certain level of liberalism is allowed, however please note derogatory terms relating to race, sexuality, gender or religion will be treated harshly. 6) Signature image cannot be bigger than 500 pixels wide and 300px tall (12/1/08--MKick). This is done so that readers with smaller screen resolutions will not have the page stretched in an unreasonable manner. 7) One forum account per user. Do not make multiple accounts. If you want to change your display name pm one of the mods listed at the bottom of these rules. 8) Participation in forum tournaments and competitions is extended only to forum members in good standing (you cannot participate if you are banned). This includes alliance membership and alliance competitions.

Who is CH? What camp?
