Suspensions
 
I was suspended recently for 1 week. The suspension wasn't lifted for 9 days. Now, I wasn't crying and wrapped up in a fetal position for those two days, nor drinking myself into a stupor, but here's my issue:

It seems we're quick to hand out suspensions, but not as quick on reinstating people.

Is there not some automated mechanism to deal with this? You know, set the timer for 168 hours and run with it?

You should be suspended for even asking such a question! I was suspended for 30 days. And I'm still not sure why because I never got a straight answer. A week is nothing.

Toad 05-04-05 09:59 AM

;)

I at least did get an e-mail describing why I was suspended. However, it went straight to my junk mail somehow, so I didn't see it for a few days.

30 days is a LONG time ...

it's not automated..we suspend by hand..and remove by hand..whenever I suspend someone I always tell them to email me or [email protected] if they're not unsuspended by whatever date..

Okay. Here's why....

All right, all right, all right
She called up an old friend
Talkin' bout Black Lebanese
A dirty room and a silver Coke spoon
Give me my release... come on

Black Napolese
It got ya weak in your knees
They're gonna seize some dust
That you got bust on
You know it's hard to believe

30 days in the hole
30 days in the hole...ahwoo
30 days in the hole
(That's what they give me)
30 days in the hole


New Castle Brown
I'm tellin' ya can sure smack you down
Ya take a greasy whore in a rolling dance floor
Got your head spinnin' round

If ya live on the road
Well, there's a new highway code
Ya take the urban noise
And some terrible poison
Gonna lessen your load

too bad it wasn't a holiday week -wink-

I've never been suspended. The mods and admins are too 'fraid of me. :)

Amazingly enough, Mr. Big wrote that song to tell the story of Mopower's suspension.

I think I'm close to being suspened from every MOD in this form. I'm still hanging in....who's next? ;)

Charlie Goose 05-09-05 07:31 PM

Never been suspended. I'm just too likable.

Jackskeleton 05-09-05 08:37 PM

It's not so bad. Besides having the quick reply, post thread and post reply buttons gone it's basiclly the same layout.

Though it doesn't take much to get a week off.

They fear for the life of their dogs, that's all -wink-

I've never been suspended. I'm just too insignficant.

I thought the 2nd rule of DVDTalk was that we do NOT talk about suspensions?
:confused:

No the 2nd rule is to NOT talk about bootlegs ;)

Buford T Pusser 05-11-05 11:25 PM

and adult passwords is the 3rd rule?

Toad 05-12-05 08:01 AM

Why would that be a rule, to not talk about suspensions?

Josh H 05-12-05 02:02 PM

The mods and admins don't discuss why someone was suspended or banned and discourage discussion of it.

Not sure why, it's just always been that way.

HistoryProf 05-12-05 02:13 PM

I got suspended once....looong time ago....i don't remember the thread, but i do remember that it was all Pharohs fault.
