I have a hard time understanding people that saying our moderation is too strict, if we go one step looser this would be 4chan. Defending someone's actions who posts gross pictures comparable to goatse on the forums is beyond me. The only reason this wasn't a perm is because he contributed a lot lately.
AndrewSong - I did most of the "die howard" bans. I personally don't care about how much someone hates howard and wants to kill him, man you don't want to know how much I hate him myself. Spamming LP in every thread is not going to help and is only ruining the forums. It simply has to stop. Just put it in your quote or something, I don't care. The one days are the lightest punishment that can be given so that's why they were given. I guess this could have been communicated better, though I figured it was self explanatory. The 7 days was given cause the instant you got your posting rights back you posted the same thing again. What else did you expect that could happen?
I see a lot of posts here saying that LP is dying and I hate to see the declining traffic myself, but allowing excessive trolls and spamming of "die howard" is only hurting LP in the long run.
As an American, I quite like the freedom of speech. And I'm fairly certain the founding fathers know a little more then the LP mods, a community has a way of filtering out the idiots on their own.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean anything goes, racism and encouragement for hatred or violence don't go well in most countries. As such not everything goes on LP either. If you want to compare LP to the USA, I have to think of the 3 strikes you are out law. Tutz has had quite a few more strikes than 3.

Perhaps with the zero accountability of the internet there should be some bans, but It should be for VERY extreme cases when involving a long time user.
Did you just compare LP to the US and the founding fathers? I hope you're trolling.
He also compared ban with death penalty.
must be trolling.
sorry for shitty english.

k heres my 2 cents,
I got banned after hevad khan insulted me and i retaliated (he made a couple of paragraphs saying why jermey lin was lucky etc. and i basically demolished his reasoning in 2 sentences stating facts)... after that i stopped posting on here. I'm not about to argue my point of view ever again, to be insulted by someone with an ego so small they have to say "stfu you dont bet on sports your opinion doesnt matter". Then i give em a little taste of their medicine and I get banned but they dont.
Tutz - seen him troll but ignored most of it and havent seen anything offensive, but i didnt check his last 100 posts like daut did so idk
Bilat or whoever posted those pics (im glad i havent seen it) should not only get perma banned but should die in a fire for being sick
As far as the die howard stuff, yeah you should get banned for that, how old are you guys?
I just wish the mods would be more consistent with their banning, i see this Zep kid or whoever keep trolling my posts and atacking me for no reason on the few times i post. Lastly, who cares if community is dying, i'd rather have quality > quantity so we don't have to read useless bs.
Bilat seem to be contributing a lot more than not (I don't really read his posts, since they're all serious and about propper topics, not my cup a tea xD but not hating lol), so a little torn, but I do agree with the mods that a picture like that deserves some whipping. I still can't stomach picture like that myself, so that generally takes away 10 minute of my smile.
Tutz I feel is a reliable and awesome friend to have irl, I like the chap, but he doesn't seem internet savy, but he's trying real hard at it, and he's kinda miss-trolling, not doing it right. And I can see how that can rub people the wrong way, especially by provoking mods lol, but that comes back to him not having much online intelligence xD
Still a bit torn, but I'm all for giving him more chances lol
And about the people who have contributed a lot, like if Tom gets a 7 day ban, you're doing something wrong, not telling you how to do your job, or run your site. But the way I look at it, if someone really contributes, their stock in the site, for the community, the emotional pleasure he gives to people is increased, so his bank account with the site gets a deposit.
If he keeps deposting for days, weeks, years, he should be up several millions by now, so by being really dumb. Let's say he puts up a picture of his weiner close to a guy's mouth, as a dare being drunk while some farm animals are being raped in the background. That's okay, but only since it's him, he might lose 100k on his account, get a warning, but banning is to rough.
But if Tutz does that, instaban lol
Oh, and another idea, it seems fair and awesome to ban people left n right when it's appropraite, but what about some reward system if you're awesome xD
Like, if I don't troll for like 3 months, make lots of sick blogs, posts on hands etc, then I might get a pm, like, next time I'm in Sweden or London, I get to hang with longple or ket for a day, they maybe take me around town, share some poker tipz, crack out some stories, and we just ball, have phun n stuff. How cool would that be xD (Just throwing out some ideas here).
(oh, if I go to Mexico or something I could get to go rallying with Baal, vrroom vrooom).

lol. khan owned you, but I agree your temp ban for that was bullshit.
I have no idea why I've never been banned. Only received a couple warnings and I am an absolute dick on this site.

I try to be as consistent as possible, however it's impossible to browse throu every post on the site ( especially when we are talking about posted hands in hand box and comments there ). If any user have concerns regarding other people they should just contact one of the mods.

Tutz wasn't banned for that post, Tom. Tutz makes a lot of really awful posts, which he has been asked to stop many times now. It appears useless though as he just keeps going, he acts like a child and gets worse and worse. Of course he can be unbanned if he cares enough to stop doing this.
BILAT is pretty obvious that shit is just fucked up.
1. Bilat's long temp ban is totally justified. I browse LP in public places and on public computers at times, and that was not a NSFW thread. That was seriously out of line.
2. Banning engage is too much IMO. He is weak-trolling in a blog, blogs are places the community largely recognizes as free-for-alls (outside of NSFW stuff).
3. I think repeatedly temp-banning is more appropriate and will stop tutz' or others minor-but-unwanted/negative behaviors eventually, assuming that temp-banning is as easy as 3 or 4 clicks. For the specific issue of repeatedly harassing new posters, repeated 2 week bans seem alright. You can just blank-edit+2week ban posts like the one that tutz' got permabanned for IMO.
4. Honestly if you look at my, or a lot of other peoples' last 100 posts/comments at any given time, there will be a ton of 'junk posts'. I and these other people contribute to (and receive from) the community nonetheless. How else do you think myself and others end up with thousands and thousands of posts. This type of small-commenting is a natural part of communication in group settings as far as I can tell.

telling someone who averages a bet > your average roll at any time during the span of your pokercareer/blog dynasty that 'he just lost all credibility' makes you look like an incessant troll bud. it's always easy to read what people write and chime in with rotten stew thinking you will come off looking clever, but it is almost always coming from people who are just complete broke jackasses. please go away and never come back mr.
