Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

[QUOTE=feather;991674]Yes, Chunky has been spilling the stuff out into other forums too, in the most random places. So taken out of context, it would appear Chunky is being disruptive. But at least he's not trolling indiscriminately in threads as some of us are prone to. He's never struck me as a public nuisance.

So to your point about coming here to make friends, I doubt if Chunky is turning newbies off from participating since he got it for very specific people with, presumably, a cause. And it usually takes two or more for stuff to get out of hand ...

I only hope he returns with no hard feelings given what's transpired, now that would really ruin things for the board.[/QUOTE]

The only reported posts and complaints we received were about emusic/domi/chunky. Make of it what you will.

i,m kinda residing to the idea that many of us need to get the fuck out more rather than sit @ computers all day arguing with each other, its just causing bother both mentally and physically

Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

sad... ive always liked the chunky and obviously i troll around the P&R forum, not here as much as i would like but i used to get really pissed at the Politics forum bc of the constant hating on each other which is why i refuse to go in there anymore.

i agree with some of the other comments, if you are going to ban 1 person for insults, at least be consistent about it. just because some members dont receive complaints doesnt make it right or ignorable.

[QUOTE=simonr;991495]All I can say is that I know him personally, he's a very nice bloke and a great laugh.

Plus C has been a major/immense contributer to P & R's on [ms] : he had differences of opinion about running the section (he's very passionate about this which is understandable given the input he's had) + he can get controversial at times (as can others).

Hopefully he's back in 7 days and keeps within the boundaries needed :)[/QUOTE]

I agree, even when he is at the worst of opinions, he still contributes something.

[QUOTE=AchtungBaby!;991513]+1..

The amount of quality old and timeless music i discovered thanks to him is inmense.. Very important MS member imo.. Sometimes i don't share his responses to some other members but well, don't think is a big deal either..

:group hu:[/QUOTE]

Merits aside, i think a 7 day warning over some incident maybe merited. Though, in the past, i have had him attack my online persona, i would say he does us a huge solid by sharing the sets he is privileged to obtain. One not outweighing the other is all im getting at!

[QUOTE=Kamal;991673]Things with Chunky have been of late, a bit off the beaten path. As for folks against the US, I was more referring to the US bashing that goes on in there. Sorry if that came off wrong.[/QUOTE]

No not on MS!

[QUOTE=thebanned1;991724]i,m kinda residing to the idea that many of us need to get the fuck out more rather than sit @ computers all day arguing with each other, its just causing bother both mentally and physically[/QUOTE]

Hallelujah, but maybe a few hours a day, i mean, week.

The banning of chunky isn't surprising, yet it could be a massive mistake. For more reasons than just the sharing of old mixes. I am in favor of open opinions, so he sure be put the court of MS peers, or some crap.

Bring Back CHUNKY, he always had a contribution(bad & good).

There's enough to irony me favourite shirt Di.

Also, let's not forget the people who've done far worse, for far longer and remain here without even being banned for a single day. Sad but true that some peoples' actions have become accepted over time to the point where people won't bother to make a fuss (complain).

For me, personally, that is the bit that doesn't weigh up. Whether or not Chunky deserved a ban is not the point so much as people are thinking "how did chunky get it but x has been doing so much worse for so long now"?

Bob, if there are people on here who have done far worse, please bring it to my attention. I dont spend much time in every forum because work has been insanely busy for me and with things only getting busier, I might be on here all but once every few months. So if there is something / someone that is upsetting you or any other board member because SOMEONE got out of line, I won't know of it UNTIL we receive complaints. So please do not think I am taking sides for one bit. I am not and CANNOT do it on the forum.

I appreciate you can't be in every forum Kamal, the site istoo big for that even if you were online permanently here.

I'm not accusing you of taking sides either, you're the boss here and like any other boss, you get to know what you see for yourself along with what gets fed back to you and act accordingly, I know that's how it goes.

It was only pretty recently you popped up in the politics forum and, correct me if i'm wrong, were surprised at a lot of the venom flying round in there. Myself, and maybe others (I don't know for sure), stopped and thought "shit this is tame compared to how it usually is"

When trick12 got a ban it told me that you'd not been following the politics forum closely as he got 3 or 4 months for his offence. That came as a shock to anyone who'd seen some of the many [I]personal[/I] attacks that had gone before from others. Yes, trick12's my friend so you may feel i'm a little biased there myself - fair enough.

What other friends of mine have been subjected to on here is probably best left in the past now, as digging up too much shit may cause problems elsewhere or put someone in an uncomfortable position so i'm not willing to start down that road. It's not gonna get us anywhere if i say, "right ok - here's all the complaints i now wish i'd made over the last few years" is it?

Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

Seeing how the ms clique instantly made the issue their own, you know what, I didn't like Chrissy that much, after all. Fuck him, make it permanent,and make Domi and all his akas Music Magister. And Bobjuice Moderatus In Extremis and Didi his Empress.

Seriously, fuck, there's not a place in here where admins, mods and key members can discuss how to run things, the secret section is almost dead and if there's a section for mods I just haven't access to it.

exactly my point... instead of banning specific people in the Politics forum, the whole forum got closed down for a while ruining it for the people who didnt "go down to their level" now i just steer clear.. not worth the time to bicker.

Re: Can we have Chunky back pls kthnxbai

logically, I'm for letting bygones be bygones as kicking up dirt only makes you sneeze. it's the future I'm talking about so if you or anyone else on the forum is upset, please ensure you bring it to the attention of someone on the team. this way, we know what's going on.

I won't comment on the trick issue because your opinion / view is only based on what you have seen and not of what I know.

I for one don't believe never hold grudges or for making a mountain of an ant-hill so I still have nothing against trick (I do mean it trick). In the same vein, I have nothing against chunky either (or for anyone else who might get a temp ban). Heck RMs got a few temp bans before and we get on ok (unless he hates me so I won't comment on that).

but from me, its all ok, I do understand people get caught up in the heat of an argument and are a bit more forthcoming than they would have preferred to be, and they realize it when the mood has settled, but its the regularity of which sets off alarms for us as a team.

like I said, I have nothing against chunky, never have, never will, which is why I lifted it because I can appreciate a lot of people being upset with it and hopefully things can settle down a little more hereafter.

As huggie says, perhaps a Zero-Tolerance policy may just be the way ahead (for better or for worse).

You didn't comment on any general policy for running the sections so that no one takes offence and starts becoming everybody's pta.

I cant control who will take offense but in general, just folks getting too direct, I guess it'll be a week off.

So now we have Chunks back, right? The one treating everyone as bug's shit while collecting pictures of mature dj's in the loo. Why did we make such a big fuss to begin with?

Hilarious you mention the "ms clique" before bemoaning a lack of action in your secret forum don't you think?

Who are "key members" ? Who decides what makes someone a "key member" and what the fuck is that if not a clique ?
