Well, I'm pleased to announce that the IM block feature is finished. You'll find a new option at the bottom of any Instant Message you receive.

When a user is in your block list, they won't be able to email or IM you via the forum.

Instead of banning people who bother me, I will simply block them. They may not care now, but chances are they will want some form of favour from me in the future ('av, can you delete my locationDB entry?' 'av, can you change this' 'av can you do this or that') and that's when they'll wish they were kinder.

Of course, this option is available for everyone.

The feauture will NOT block IM's sent by the automatic "Deleted post" system. Sorry Gordo

Hey, if you still have a problem with people getting on here and being a dick, then let me say this.
Theres no justice like angry mob justice.
Anyway, I like the IM block thing. Luckily I haven't had a chance to use it on someone yet. Maybe thats a good thing.

The only time I I am dissppointed with banning is when it's someone who is entertaining to watch make an ass of themselves. Now if someone like NUE goes and deletes all his posts, forget it, it just degrades the content of the site.
It's your site m'brother, if someone doesn't have the decency to approach you rationally, then tell them to get bent , hit the bricks, e.t.c.. You don't need the aggravation.

I got your tour winner right here pussies, at least he'd crash out trying.

Many businesses can/will refuse service to someone who is being irate/abusive, and that is at places where people are actually paying for services. Most businesses also have a right to refuse service. I don't see why this should be any different, especially because it is paid for mostly out of pocket by Av.

I definately think that people should be able to express dissenting opinions and have disagreements with mods, but there is no need to become abusive. Isn't there already a rule or stipulation in the user agreement about being abusive towards other members? Maybe that rule should just be enforced (and yes, to all members including mods), instead of adding a new one. If people are irate/abusive, they should be warned and if the behavior continues, eventually banned. There is no need for that. I've gotten quite upset with a few people on the board in the past, and even then I don't think that I ever went so far as to be abusive towards them. It might not be easy, but it's the civil thing to do.

"Because there's no possibility of real disaster, real risk, we're left with no chance for real salvation. Real elation. Real excitement. Joy. Discovery. Invention. The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom. Without access to true chaos, we'll never have true peace. Unless everything can get worse, it won't get any better." -Chuck Palahniuk

Fuck'em Av.

It's your board. If I send you a PM calling you a Nazi homophobic carpetmuncher, it'd be well within your rights to ban me as you see fit.

Peronally, i like to throw up this pic when I lock a thread on any boards I mod.


Kind of a pre-emptive strike if you will.
At least I don't get called a forum nazi anymore.

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.

It definitely needs to stop. On no other board i'm a member of, do the mods take so much abuse with no recourse. People get their asses banned for less than a person gets a warning for here, and I'm sick of it.

It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
