WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET BANNED FROM THIS BOARD?

Exactly how rude, obnoxious, nasty, hurtful, hateful, and vile does an individual's posts need to be before they are banned from this board? IMO, this board is being poorly managed!

re: EXACTLY HOW RUDE, NASTY, OBNOXIOUS, VILE, HATEFUL, AND ABUSIVE DOES SOMEONE SAYS OR DOES HAVE TO BE TO GET THE BANNED FROM BBW BOARD?

So - what constitutes behavior that results in being banned?

Certainly you're not implying that it is the posting of opinions that do not meet the status quo???

I, for one, would not be part of an organization so narrow-minded...

Yes... I'm speaking of the one (and thank God only) RodneyK. His posts tonight have been off the hook. He insulted a woman who had lost her husband on 9-11 by bascially telling her to not play the 9-11 card. And that he was tired of all New Yorkers milking the whole 9-11 thing. Just check out his lastest signature. He continues to personally attack whoever doesn't share his juvenile views. I've reported him four times this evening alone to Rob. I received an e-mail from Rob stating that he would be looking into it. That was hours ago. And he continues to post. He also likes to post really vile messages, and then deletes them a few minutes later so as not to get caught by the Admins. I've taken to copying and pasting his posts into mine so as to preserve his "pearls of wisdom" for future review. It's getting really tired though. Enough is Enough! I enjoy this board, but people like him are eventually going to drive me, and others like me, away. And when someone like Margo starts thinking about leaving... well that's just tragic! Something really needs to be done! What with these Admins?

My guess is that they are trying to be fair, to not submit to mob mentality without an "investigation", and quite probably are having private conversations with the offenders to try to work out rules of conduct to allow them to stay. Heavy handed moderation also drives people away, and I am sure they do not want a reputation for that either. Just guessing.

Curtainup, I happen to agree with you about Rodney (although even he has good points, he liked American Dreams!!), he had erased all the messages from this latest thread, but from the replies I saw it must have been pretty vile. Give 'em a little time...

if this IS about RodneyK - I just took matters into my own hands and blocked the SOB. His posts are moronic, hurtful, insipid, and downright homophobic and I am sick of him.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

I have never put a block on anyone on this board before, this person could be the first. Sadly just not a nice person.

You should try it. It works like a charm, and it's DELIGHTFUL! re: EXACTLY HOW RUDE, NASTY, OBNOXIOUS, VILE, HATEFUL, AND ABUSIVE DOES SOM

I've had plenty of discussions and debates with the denizens of BWW but have never encountered anything like Rodney. I think he needs some serious counseling.

He's the first person I've ever blocked. His posts are not meant to further a conversation -- they're mean and unnecessarily provocative and nasty.
Stop worrying about what I'm doing -- focus instead on what you're eating.

CurtainUp, quit your noise and block people you don't like. Board rules are up for interpretation. Just because it bothers you doesn't make it a violation of TOS. Stop insulting the administrators and creators of this site. Perhaps your lashing out and insulting of them will get YOU banned. That is a clear cut violation of the guidelines. (Which are "GUIDELINES"!)

Apparently, I missed a lot last night. This morning, I noticed all these blank posts by RodneyK that he obviously edited out later. It makes for a very bizarre thread. Maybe I didn't miss that much.

....and as to "guidelines"
1 post with courtesy
2 no personal attacks
Mr RodneyK has violated these several times.

I personally am trying to get banned by encouraging RodneyK to shoot himself. It's fun. I encourage you to join in.

Oh...and if you don't recognize RodneyK as a twisted little bit of online performance art, then ya need to take a cleansing breath!

hey ckeaton... You bore me. And being one of only two others on this board who shares RodneyK's ignorant, hateful and insulting positions speaks volumes of you. Don't bother responding. Consider yourself blocked.

actually, regardless of how he says it, ck does make a valid point... we choose to be here... the moderators have given us a very valuable tool with the blocking function, so that we can make our own personal experiences here more fun...
