    Default Another Mysterious Banhammer

    Dranger7070 is now banned from the FTR forums without an explanation. Does the three strikes rule even exist anymore?

    For lack of better words, he got IOPQ'd. Mods, any explanation?

    I demand that he be reinstated as an upstanding member of the forums immediately, and furthermore that he be awarded the post of chief treasurer of flopturnrivertwoplustwo incorporated to make up for this disgraceful oversight by the powers that be.

    Not Giving In
    I'm not sure what "He got IOPQ'd" means. IOPQ deserved to get banned. I don't know dranger's story to get him banned but if he was like IOPQ then yes ban him. That said, I really doubt he was and would like to hear what happened because I liked him.

    I propose an easy way to do this: open the Mods forum to the general FTR public.

    Yeah, upon rereading it, I guess it wasn't so obvious.

    I'd like to make it clear then...twas a joke.

    Guys, there has been a lot of pm's sent, and you haven't seen or heard all of what was said. I am sure most of you have his AIM and will get his side of the story. FTR's admins are aware of the ban. Which admin's or mods do you not trust to make good decisions here? And do you think if one mod is out of line, the rest of the admins and mods won't straighten it out?

    I have said it before and will repeat, FTR is not a democracy, it is a business, with a chain of command. Things move up the ladder before they are done. If something is done out of line, the team of mods and admins have discussions behind board and WE reach the decision. FTR's forum and one or two of it's members is not what FTR is about.

    A business?! Everyone knows the forum mods just steal the freeroll mannies and cancel the tournaments. dranger probably had proof of this and so was eliminated

    So are you actually going to give the reason why he was banned?
  26. #26
    No, probably not if it has not been mentioned already. I am sure anyone who knows him from here and IRC have already asked him, if they weren't present during the issues at hand. Anyone who gave a shit about dranger had his AIM and has talked to him already.
  27. #27
    Was it his anger?
  28. #28
    No, it's casue he didn't pull out like he promised and spoon ain't on the pill anymore.

    I guess I should give an explanation of what happened so people will calm down and stop operating under the assumption that I pulled a rilla and iopq'd dranger7070.

    In some threads, dranger7070 was harassing and flaming. He was asked in PMs to stop harassing and flaming, as per the FTR rules. His reply was more harassing and flaming in PMs, followed by some more harassing and flaming in various threads.

    I asked an admin for advice on the situation, and was given permission to ban.

    And yes, the rumors are true. I do, in fact, got dranger7070's nose.

    Yea cuz the 6+ months of abuse/trolling that I put up with from you didn't have anything to do with my trolling/flaming. Seems standard.

    I don't honestly care, keep me banned. I just like how spoon leaves out that little detail and thought I should fill in a pretty big gap in the story.

    Have fun everybody, let the ***Official Dr. Anger Jokes/Puns Thread*** commence.

    I'm glad he went ahead and did that so now there's no doubt whatsoever as to the legitimacy of the ban.
  48. #48
    I guess some people haven't figured out that we have the ability to ban for 1 day, 3 days all the way to 1 month as well as the perma ban.

    Confirmed.

    Smoking gun*: IP Trace tells me posts were made via a Quebec-based IP.

    *Important Note: Smoking gun not actually smoking. That would be drangerous.

    yeah I'm well aware of that. shit needs to change. although I do believe I can be successful at poker while still occasionally smoking, cutting it down is something that needs to happen if I want to make something out of this game.
