UND92 got banned for vile gossip. Others will soon be following if people don't clean up their act. I also deleted the whole thread containing the gossip. Worst. Thread. Ever.

Add gopher to the list - spamming and for being another in a long line of troll-spamming alts.

Dakota* is on deck... I'm probably missing the humor in all the different alts talking to each other.

I've also disabled user registration until further notice. That means new users will have to go through me.

* If you've have no idea what I'm yapping about, count yourself lucky.

I agree things have been better without lakes, I am with B1SON and would support a longer ban. Its nice being able to read a thread without having to read about not playing UND 10 times.

Give the guy a chance. Maybe "sitting in the corner" for a week has changed his tune. Maybe he'll come back a changed man after not being able to vent for a week.

I'd hate to see the damage he's done to his home after reading all the posts and not being able to respond. You have to let that frustration out somehow. :o ;D

How could he come back with the performance he had earlier this week. 7-0 voting on monday and then guarenteeing that the announcement would come later in the week. In fact, he said on thursday the announcement would be that we got in on a 7-0 vote. sheesh. >:(

Some deep-dish humble pie can usually change a guys tone. However, I highly doubt that. If you haven't done so, you should see if you can read some of the stuff over on Bisonsports.net. He has actually calmed down some compared to what he had been on here so maybe he's already learning. ;)

I honestly hope the keep the user name "LakesBison" banned and that he just uses one of the aliases he has already created, but he has to obviously be tamed down so as to not tip anyone off.

I know I've given him a hard time, and I feel the week ban was a good thing. I think he deserves a chance to prove himself, though. He has a ton of enthusiasm, but may be a bit over the top. If he settles down and quits attacking every thread that he doesn't agree with, I don't have a problem.

He kinda lost it after the Gateway meeting. Check out Don't cave in to SIU! (http://www400.pair.com/bisonvil/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1171991546) but don't let any children look over your shoulder when you do. The two week ban occurs halfway down the first page.



BTW, is anyone else convinced that 2006gwfcchamps is MplsBison using a different screenname? They have the same posting style, they are on at the same time(2006 here and Mpls at SS and AGS), and they both lost it over SIU. If that's true it would be kinda funny since MplsBison was voted "Most Annoying Poster, 2006" over at AnyGivenSaturday.

He hasn't been seen on the rabbit board for almost 20 days now. http://www.sdsufans.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1169407608/32#32 Was the last time he was seen on our board.

Lakes already is posting under 2 IDs here so his ban should be forever, the name lakesbison will probably just draw in idiots like like lakesliar anyway. As for GWFC, he should just be banned forever he has had enough chances as Bisonfan1234, MplsBison and whatever else he called himself.

The ban is off lakesbison but, as usual, the same behavior that caused the first ban restarts, a longer ban will be enforced. GWFC still has a week to go. The last tirade from him was so unusual that I wondered if somebody hijacked his account or something.

You can call me by my name. I dont have a problem with it. Ive already posted my website.
But you see not many people like Lakes so he cant afford people knowing who he is. The internet is a wonderful thing but one of the very sad things is people who hide behind their computer so they arent held accountable for their actions. Their are names for those of that ilk but I will leave you to choose your own. PL

Bringing an old thread up. When was the last time someone was banned?? I personally cant remember.

I think that name calling, telling people to f off and personal challenges to fight are fairly childish. Yeah, you may be a bigger "man" than some, but wanting to fight (physically) over ideas/opinions on a message board is just silly.

We don't all have to like each other, but remember we aren't the only ones who grace this site. Whether you think so or not, outsiders come to this site and will judge not just us, but also NDSU on what is said/done here. Try and represent our university a little better. Again, this is not directed at one person. It seems lately that some things have gotten a bit out of hand.

Can't we all just agree to disagree??

I am not advocating someone be banned, but in the past people were banned (even temporarily) for much less that what is being flung around now.

Bringing an old thread up. When was the last time someone was banned?? I personally cant remember.

I think that name calling, telling people to f off and personal challenges to fight are fairly childish. Yeah, you may be a bigger "man" than some, but wanting to fight (physically) over ideas/opinions on a message board is just silly.

My nomination for post of the day.

This post, IMHO, is exactly right on (except for the call for everyone to agree to disagree). This has been a good forum for healthy debate and there is a departure from that in one thread. There are invitations to 'f off' and for fisticuffs. They are inappropriate statements and I would like to believe that the person who posted them has regrets concerning them. There are other posts that may have served to provoke the reaction above.

Here's a little tip - when disagreeing with a post, read through that post and look at how many times it contains the word "you". What is the actual target of the response - the other poster's argument or the other person himself? Unfairly putting words in another's mouth and making unfair characterizations are just plain unfair and will sometimes ellicit over-the-top knee-jerk reactions.


Be Excellent to Each Other

Good Lord, what possessed you to dredge up this thread? Thanks for bringing back some bad memories of what I consider the low point of the board. Maybe three of you could get together and post forty times a day about UND and hijack every thread on the board while doing so. That would complete the moment for me. :)

Anyway, we don't ban folks anymore, we suspend accounts. Er, with the exception of the poster behind MplsBison - if we detect one of his alts (by posting style), we ban that account fairly quickly.

FWIW, the last account suspended was PantherHawk. Before that, it was one of the buffalobill alts. In fact, those are the only user accounts on the banned list right now.

Now that there are more admins, we try to deal with stuff by removing posts, moving threads to where they belong, etc. There are more tools available than the ban stick.

Maybe one of SDBison's recent posts is a good example of a missed opportunity. If one of us had edited for removed that one post, we wouldn't have the "drama fallout" that has ensued and spilled over to other thread.

Sure, it'd be great if more posters could disagree and still retain some good humor, but being able to handle disagreement without getting angry at the people who are so incredibly obtuse and possibly morally weak that they see things differently takes a lot of practice. Probably a good skill to develop though. Personally, the Angry Elf has no interest in developing that skill - I'm writing a book called "How to Win Friends and Influence People Through Biting Saracasm."

How about writing a book for some of the more computer illiterate folk on how to use the www.bisonville.com spell checker? ;) I kid I kid!!
