    I have seen this happening and was wondering even in light hearted forums in rec is this permissible or it is abuse of mod powers ?

    I think they should be hung drawn and quartered and all of their assets be given to the victims of his little rampage as compensation

    Is the charter a book of laws? No.
    Mutiny and all thoughtcrimes must be stamped out. Anybody who even questions this must be stamped on.

    Orestes refused Nerin. Again.

    That Nerin has quite a temper on him when he's being refused what he wants.

    amp has had the famous infamous "stupidity" TCN ban thread for a long time, and many have been banned from the Nest. Can only recall one that was resurrected and allowed back by popular acclaim (The-Rigger).

    Guys I know in RL I think I've banned for about 5 mins at some stage or another but then I don't take many things seriously.

    Dont think they noticed.

    Its grand, the mod has to pick the right poster to do it to tbh. Terry banned me from AH before for a laugh ..... was funny and no harm was done. Be careful who you ban though, it might bite you on the ass!

    It's definitely an abuse of Mod Power.

    Like Lady Macbeth Thaedydldydl is being overcome by unwavering bouts of remorse and guilt over her actions to a certain devilishly handsome and fiendishly intelligent poster in BGRH two weeks ago. The blood on her hands just won't go away and this thread is her version of a steel wire brush.

    It happened to me last week. I don't plan on posting in the nocturnal forum again. If that's 'the lulz' in there they can keep it.

    Well said Sherifu. If they continue with this nonsense then very soon they'll be lolling all by themselves and that's never any fun.

    It's no coincidence that LULZ is also an acronym for "Laughing Umpires Leading Zealously"

    LadyMcDeath... there might be something in it.

    I was on a forum once that had a feature called ghosting - a ghosted user's posts were invisible to everyone but him/herself so he/she would be posting away billy-o, getting a fierce thick head on him/her because everyone was, as far as he/she could tell, ignring him/her.

    Go h-an a lulz, for about eight minutes.
