Hugh

[Jeff]

I've officially warned Hugh about disruption in the Pilger thread. Another instance of it and he's suspended.

[sunny]

You should have gone ahead and suspended him. He knows better by now.

[barracuda]

I guess I shouldn't have engaged with him, but it's hard to hold back when he's so demonstrably wrong.

[Jeff]

On the contrary. It's tempting to goad him, and I've indulged in that plenty, but you made a positive intervention there.

He's posting sometimes now as though he's looking to commit board suicide by cop.

[barracuda]

I've given Hugh a seven day suspension based upon his activities here:

If you think this is too harsh, feel free to adjust it accordingly.

[Peregrine]

Eh, Jeff has a whole little section he can post in about KWH. It won't hurt him... I'm not liking the nazi ref to Jeff, so poo-poo for Hugh for a week...

[Peregrine]

Oh and...

It's the rules, biyatch.

Please refrain from name calling & personal attacks. I, uh, was itchin' to exercise my authori-tae...

Alright, back to my regular schedule of hanging out in the sun with my kid...

[Jeff]

If it was anyone else I'd consider it harsh. But nobody's been given more lifelines than Hugh, and he should know when to grasp one. A week it is.

[barracuda]

I think I've released the ban on Hugh, but if someone could, you might check it to be sure.

[Jeff]

I think I did, too. So between us, we probably did.

[Jeff]

Please note:

If you catch him on the thread, suspend him.

(BTW, use the "suspend" feature instead of ban in all cases except spambots. It makes tracking and reactivating easier.)

[Peregrine]

Yeah, I saw that gem last night about 1am when I couldn't sleep & burst out laughing at his own personal black hole theory. Is that the KWH thing he does in threads he's not supposed to? Heh, sorry I laughed instead of chastized, it was just so bloody preposterous... but it was funny to read...

[barracuda]

I've again given Hugh a seven day suspension based upon his activities here:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=29057

as well as for this post:

viewtopic.php?p=351312#p351312

Once again, if you think this is too harsh, feel free to adjust it accordingly.

Obviously, I'm sort of on a hair trigger with his bullshit. But he wants to disrupt threads and challenge the board rules, and I don't really care about his motives. I don't find that his behaviour adds that much to the setting when he's on his little jags, so - no patience with it. Sorry. But not very. He's probably just angry about the Prouty thread.

[barracuda]

Fuck, I used the banning mode again. Can someone direct me to the particular area of the Mod Control Panel doohickey that is just for suspensions? You mentioned that earlier, Jeff, but I wasn't paying attention. I think I was doodling on my notebook, or something.

[Jeff]

I think "deactivate account" should show up on your list of options between "ban by IP" and "delete signature."
