  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) When a thread is locked on BZP it is policy to say why - either the staff member posts why, or quotes somebody who already said it. Are you saying you were not told why, or you did not understand why? There is a pretty big difference between (...) (19 years ago, 6-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)
 
  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) Well, I hope LUGNET doesn't start locking threads. I post sometimes on BZPower and it seems that my threads get locked a lot and I am never sure exactly why. It's happened enough times to make me not want to post there anymore - I guess I just (...) (19 years ago, 6-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)  
 
  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) Is there a way to moderate LUGNET discussions and lock threads? It's based on USENET, right? That means no. Most community forums have pretty good moderation systems where threads get locked once they get off topic or become flame wars. I'd (...) (19 years ago, 6-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX) ! 
 
  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) I'd absolutely sign this. The way of baiting on Eric (done by some members) had nothing to do with a discussion on ToS violation. IMHO this is as despicable as the ToS violation. Might be it is a ToS violation itself. Sincerely Marco (19 years ago, 6-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX) !! 
 
  AFOL Named Sheldon?
 
Hi All- I'm trying to locate a gentleman who lives in the Portland, Oregon area named Sheldon who joined us for the NW TrainFest 2006 two weekends ago (03.25.06). Unfortunately I was not able to get his last name, or contact information during the (...)

  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) Nevertheless, if you read the rest of the thread, Eric did make a (URL) commitment of sorts> not to do it again. So he either willfully disregarded that, or simply forgot, when posting this latest auction. Either one doesn't fill me with any (...) (19 years ago, 4-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)
 
  Re: Warnings( was: WAKE UP!)
 
(...) Actually, that raises another question. Should admins disregard advice/warnings given by others (non-admins and admins in non-admin role) in making decisions about timeouts/bans? Seems to me they should count for something, though exactly how (...) (19 years ago, 3-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.general, FTX)

(...) Which "certain others"? ROSCO (19 years ago, 3-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)  
 
  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) John's not an admin. A PERMANENT ban would still be shotgun against puppy without prior warning, IMHO. A temporary ban is what apparently has been imposed though. (wasn't very clear at first, still isn't very clear although it is somewhat (...) (19 years ago, 3-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)

(...) To quote Anders: "Stupid question: In whatever way will that post help?" (19 years ago, 3-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)  
 
  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) I see nothing inconsistent here. Eric should get an indefinite timeout until he requests cancels on the posts that clearly are over the line, acknowledges he erred and that the ToS does apply to him, and apologises for causing part of the (...) (19 years ago, 3-Apr-06, to lugnet.people) ! 
 
  E: A Retrospective
 
Now that Lugnet's resident "tortured artiste" has gone, leave behine a whiff of prescribed substances and stale sweat, I'd like to share our memories of this somewhat talented, and amusingly unstable individual. Mine would have to be (URL) - nothing (...) (19 years ago, 3-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)
 
  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) I'm fairly sure Eric might try to off himself if his posting privileges were permanently revoked. Dunno if that's the reason Larry is suggesting softer treatment for a greater offense, but it's something to consider. Soren (19 years ago, 2-Apr-06, to lugnet.people)  
 
  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) Hmmm, interesting to compare that view of Eric, who has shown a wilful disregard for the ToS, with (URL) your opinion of Jojo>. (...) That would involve someone deciding what "completely inappropriate" is. But as you brought it up, which posts (...) (19 years ago, 2-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)  
 
  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) Me for one. It was deserved but I sincerely hope this is a timeout, to be lifted when Eric apologises and indicates he understands that he needs to comply with the ToS, and will do so, and not a permanent loss. Further, and just as (...) (19 years ago, 2-Apr-06, to lugnet.people, FTX)  
 
  Re: Lugnet: WAKE UP!
 
(...) Thank you for this Suz (and Todd?). I realise that it must have been a hard decision to make but I feel it was the right one under the circumstances. Tim To Eric, When I first posted in response to you my only intention was to get you to admit (...) (19 years ago, 2-Apr-06, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.people, FTX) !

  Re: Halcyon days? (was Re: Just great.)
