Three months.aps said:Is that how long he's been banned for?
Well I hope the abrasiveness and language and insults he uses here is different from what he shows his kids.aps said:*sigh* Oh well. At least he wasn't permanently banned. I know he can be abrasive; however, anyone who says that part of his interests are his "kids" can't be all bad.

The profanity, personal attacks and name calling champs used in his posts is what got him a ticket out of here. I choose not to behave in that way, and that's why I am here. You have always objected to wit and sarcasm, aps, but those are not against the forum rules.aps said:Me too! Does that apply to your abrasiveness as well, my conservative friend?xo

Then I'll be sure to pour it on.aps said:I don't object to either at all. But when every single post is full of sarcasm, it gets old.

Moderator's Warning: |
![]() Champs has been suspended not banned. Next on to other issues. I've not looked at the actual instances you describe, but allow me to clarify a little based on very vague and general precepts. Calling your comments bullshit, (or horseshit, or dogshit, or plain old **** or pretty much any sort of scatological reference) is not optimal, but is generally allowed as it is about the comments ratherthan the person. We all have to accept that from time to time we all say and/or do some stupid things in our lives. Doesn't mean we're stupid, just that we made a mistake. Comparing someone to something in an insulting /derogatory manner is definitely frowned upon. Also, please allow me to restate that not all moderator action is public. Per Forum Rules: Not all disciplinary actions will be public. Furthermore, moderators are not obligated to notify general membership of whether a particular member has received a warning. Nor are moderators obligated to discuss any disciplinary actions taken against a member with any other member. The guidelines and rules we use are intentionally vague. A lot does come down to moderators' best judgment. Due to the nature of the beast, this is the best way we know to strike the right balance between being just and merciful. I've no doubt that as humans we we screw things up sometimes. We encourage folks to let us know about these things via PM and email. Per Forum Rules: 6a. If there are any concerns over a moderators actions, please address a private message (PM) to vauge or the moderator in question. Your feedback and concerns are very valuable to the success of this board. Each and every PM will be read and investigated.
LOL. Yeah. Yeehaw, such power!! Who is like unto me? Actually, I pulled the trigger. MM just did the dirty work of writing the letters and making the posts etc. In part, this is related to the distinction between banning and suspension, and in part, it's accurate. In theory, any one of us can hit the ban button or the suspend button. In practice, most folks don't get banned or suspended w/o multiple consultations. Of all the moderators, I'm the only one I'm sure has summarily banned anyone. They've been spammers you've prob'ly never heard of because I caught them at the start of their stay here. Even then, the action was noted in the appropriate mod forum. But as per real members, NONE that I know of has ever been suspended or banned w/o consultations. Bearing in mind that it's not uncommon to have some relatively heated discussion in the mod forum re various events, and ideas. Champs was the subject of multiple consultations throughout his stay here. This most recent action was also the result of deliberations. There was no moderator dissent voiced against the decision to institute a temporary suspension of Champs posting privileges. |

Moderator's Warning: |
![]() This is just the latest in a string of recent personal attacks against other members of this forum. After REPEATED warnings and attempts to allow you time to modify your debating style, you persist in taking the low road, disrupting debate and making inflammatory personal remarks about the intelligence and character of other members of DP. :smash: You have earned yourself a three month suspension of your account. If and when you decide to return, the entire mod team hopes you can adapt your mode of debate to coincide with forum policy. |

Navy Pride said:How do you know he has been banned?
aps said:If you look at one of Champs' posts, it has "Banned" underneath his name. I am guessing that KC may have complained about him to the moderators, which is why he noticed it sooner than others.
Navy Pride said:Thanks aps, I really think Champs is a pretty intelligent guy but he definitely has and anger management problem that gets him into trouble.............
His suspension was noted in athread where KC participated. I asked the same question and was directed to this post:aps said:I am guessing that KC may have complained about him to the moderators, which is why he noticed it sooner than others.
aps said:Did you see Champs trying to give me a guilt trip because I want the mortgage interest deduction? Me! A liberal! :shock:
I think a passionate debater can be a positive thing, but it also can be a negative thing.
Peace bro![]()
Wrong. I noticed it because I was in the same thread when he was banned. Nice try, aps.aps said:If you look at one of Champs' posts, it has "Banned" underneath his name. I am guessing that KC may have complained about him to the moderators, which is why he noticed it sooner than others.
