Rupert it is not about the rubber room or any other forum it is just at some point you have stick up for your people. Journeyman is the senior moderator here, he works extremely hard (over 80,000 posts). Dragging that old flyer thread out of moth balls just to embarass him was mean spirited and just uncalled for. There was nothing funny about it, especially because the thread had been decimated by posters being turned into guests back then by the software if they were banned.
Anyone else in my position would have done the same thing. Something recent that a moderator gets involved in is fine but to just dig up something from over five years ago that even at the time was no big deal was just an attempt by funcluc to embarras Journeyman, the Rx. mods in general and The Rx. itself.
I just felt I had to do what I did for the sake of the site in general. I know some guys think fucnluc is funny and enjoy his posting but he has crossed the line on more than one occcasion. The moderators get zero respect from guys like Fucnluc, it's always fuck you or worse, meantime all of them (mods) are here to help every single poster whenever possible. All I ask for is simple curtesy nothing more for any mod or poster. Most likely this will cost the Rx. some posters and I truly regret that but The Site will survive.
wil.
PS. DiNiro playing Rupert Pupkin is still one of my favorite comic performances by any actor ever.
This post is absolute bullshit. And if I get banned people will be clapping their hands so be it.
You let them bump countless shameless posts about every poster on this site. Don't act like it is because he bumped a thread to embarrass someone. My threads are bumped weekly to try and embarrass me. So don't act like that was why. It was because obviously some of the acquisitions were accurate and you guys were saving face which is fine for a business to do and understandable. But Don't act like it was because it was cold hearted. 99% of the post in the Rubber Room are 100% worse then that bump.
You banned a guy because he called someone out for acting a certain way in the past, and he seems to have changed his ways, but that poster happens to work for the site now. This is a bush league move and I will probably get a ban for this too because I am speaking my word. Please stop with the kiddy porn stuff because it wasn't kiddy porn. You can bring it up to use it as an excuse but explain what it was before you give him a bad name... It was a guy showing his genitals to girls walking home from school. It was far from underaged porn.
Any why would this cost them posters? Because someone brought up a joke. Come on Wilheim I have never had any problems really at this site, but this won't cost you anything.
This is just my opinion but I am not sure we are allowed to give that anymore. To add I didn't really like or dislike Fucnluc I just thought your explanation was fake.
You did not ban him because he embarrassed Journey. Because if that is the case then you are saying the Mods are much more important then the posters, because people bump threads to embarrass people every day.
