I posted like a week ago that I desired to ban joehoe in the moderator forum, I got one reply saying go for it and 0 replies saying don't go for it, so i did it.
he didn't really do anything banworth per ce, other than cluttering the forum with useless posts. this has really never been allowed, however we often let it slide for too long. I'm pretty certain there wouldn't have been a thread about joehoe if this ban happened when he had 50 posts like it could or should have.
Oh btw drone, I tried to send you a pm politely asking why j0ehoe was banned, but somehow ended up sending it to TL.net Bot.
As for DarkNexus and CharlieMurphy - I'm personally not a fan of either one, but I will be fair. When I look through their posting history, I do see a healthy mix of on-topic, worthwhile contributions, and the usual off-topic garbage and one-liners.
I think you guys should add a 2 day ban option and hand them out like candy. Kind've like a bitch slap to put people in their place emphasize quality posting.

normally im like a fan of temp banning people to teach them a lesson or whatever but joeh0e's problem was, as interpreted by me, being stupid. he can't help it, it's just that I don't want him on the site.
for those who have been around for a long time, this ban was like that XX REd whatever the fuck his name was' ban.
"Liked" would be a little too much. But I got to know him a little better through meeting him on b.net and sending a few PM's and he was a decent guy. Just he maybe cared a little too less about what people think of him online. I'm not defending him or asking to unban him I just wanted to raise a little attention to a topic that has been discussed ever since TL.net exists.
Didn't mean to call people out for a ban, my bad.
Eri now got back at Beyonder for banning Chibi a bit too fast and that's fine with me. I just feel j0ehoe didn't really deserve a ban.
i didnt get back at him it's not like joehoe was a favourite poster of beyonder. if it had been maybe you had a point, but I have no reason to believe that beyonder does not agree that joehoe sucked ass.
Darknexus has been fine lately. He usually only goes off when you instigators egg him on.
As for Charlie Murphy, I like his posts. He's opinionated and somewhat abrasive, which are things I value over "niceness", which I find 99% of the time to go hand in hand with "boring". ;(

The only real irony here is that he is the first person after Chibi who actually gets some attention after being banned :D
lol cpt obvious, the only irony here is that you say you wouldn't miss many people here. no one cares. and moderation inconsistency, randomness, and other crap???? why do you act like you know so much? you've been on TL for 6 months.
EPT
)) who was that dude?
