Okay. Let's talk about this.

Recently, both Starhawk and Ultraman Baltan were banned. Whether this is a permanent ban or not, I am unaware. But this whole situation should get us talking about how we present ourselves here on KMC.

Now, I'll be the first to admit that I am not neutral in this situation. Both of them annoyed the living daylights out of me. However, I believe that I handled my problems with them a lot more civilly than others on this forum.

This is a forum on the Internet. We do not know each other personally. And because of that, we feel no need to restrain ourselves in arguments, because we do not know them well enough to decide how far is 'too far.'

What I'm trying to say is that we should restrict our problems with other members to this forum. Meaning that personal life issues such as one's relationship to their mother or family, or what they do outside of KMC should not be brought into internet arguments. It can get unnecessarily nasty.

Older, respected members on this forum (Raven, Vinny, KoK or myself) should not be posting threads with the intent to bash another member, however distasteful he may be. We should know better.

Just be civil, m'kay? doped

I really can't ever see me getting banned. I do understand that every now and then people get a little heated at one another but, seriously.

Didn't KOK just make a thread like this? ermm

I'm not saying that we might get banned (although if it's bad enough, we just might ermm). I'm just saying we should be a bit more civil in our argument

Check their profile31

I usually avoid confrontations unless i really feel someone is a dickhead then i tell them off and put them on my ignore list then clear out my ignore list a few months later

Yeah true. Its more so a test of their restraint and maturity.

there is no neeed for it

KoK should have been banned as well, simple as that. Starhawk was an antagonistic moron but I've been speaking to Ultraman via PM and he did explain a few things. He's a genuine guy, he may come across as a little arrogant and did have a tendency to be abusive at times but I have to point out that his insults were only directed towards those who had pissed him off. Yes, he should have restrained himself, but why aren't those who provoked him banned as well?

I don't agree with the fact that only Ultraman was banned. I think there were more involved and they should have received the same. I'm betting the others got off with a warning and to be quite honest, warnings mean jack shit.

Where is the love?

in my pocket.

He was participating in the bashing and flaming just as much as UB, and I would support of a temp. ban, depending on what happened to UB himself

how are we supposed to be able to tell how long the ban is from their profiles? scroll all the way to the bottom ... it tells you who banned them, what reason and for how long.

Ultraman's banned for 2 days for member bashing.

Starhawk is also banned for 2 days for continually harassing Vinny Valentine, despite previous warnings.

Both banned by Storm.

I love KMC.

Interesting.

BTW for some reason the notes in the Profiles don't always work or go away, for example my ban notes are fare-thee-well...yeah, went down the gran' ol' Mississippi...kinda like Jeff Buckley. Great, I made myself sad. Stupid German, stupid.
