I had five minutes free so I went and looked at the member list.
Woo that was a long link :D. His user profile now says banned. So he must've been banned by the site administrator (and posts deleted). He wasn't here long this time. He's been banned in the past at least three times or so. Anyway now ya know.

how does one get banned from greekchat? :confused:

:rolleyes:

imthechamp was his old user name. The fella was banned from GC awhile ago. He came back, didn't chang his tune at all and was given a swift kick out the door.

A sensitive admin does it. O well.

There was no need to delete his posts, lol. Remember the good ol' days when banning was good enough? You could still read all of the naughty posts.

Well, with the way some people behave on here, it's seems a bit arbitrary at times.

However, I would suppose that high volume posting of crude and obnoxious content is generally a good way to get banned. I believe that offenders usually get a warning or two before getting the boot. In this case, as ktsnake pointed out, champ01 has had multiple user names such as "imthechamp", "imthachamp", "champ" and "champ01" and, as is such, has already been previously banned multiple times.

There are a couple of people on GC who were obnoxious folks who had gotten banned multiple times, but who eventually went on to re-register with a toned down approach and were allowed to stay.


.....Kelly :)

omega2, this individual has been banned many times under different user names.

imperial1, it was not just a few posts, but a multitude over a period of time. Mods cannot Ban anyone, that is up to the Administrateo and He only.

But when the line is crossed so many times then, it becomes a problematic situation.

When one calls people vile names and degrates them continually then there is a proble. When a person lies continualy, there is a problem.

It is not of a spur of the moment decission.

Remember, you dont have The Right to be on here, You are a guest and if the rules continualy get broken, then well, figure it out.

navan, you are totally correct! I know of a few and figure they may be some in the same.

There has been discussion about them and who knows what is held for them in the future?;)

Felt this should be a seperate follow up!

There were several years ago posters who were called the Vs.

They posted all kinds of allegations and PMed and emailed GC Chattters and even threatened them with all kinds of bodily harm.

These people were finally taken into court after being sued and found guilty.

This is what some of the posts seem and can lead to!

I have had someone threaten me with bodily harm, call me names along with many other GCers who did or did not agree with him.

Depended on his deminted mood swing at the time!

Did I recommend they be banned, well take a shot!

I never do this lightly.:( , as do not other Mods.

"Peace and Blessings..."

That's all I hafta say. :p

I've been banned several times. ;)

can't we all just get along :D

Actually, that's a harder question to answer than you might think.

It's true that only the Administrator can actually ban someone.

That may happen due to one of several reasons, but generally they are violations of the TOS that you agreed to when you signed onto GC.

Clearly, John doesn't have the time to read every post on the board, so I think it generally comes down to his getting a PM or E-mail from members, or through the Moderator's forum.

In the latter, it probably shouldn't come as any surprize that the issue of banning someone is often the cause of heated debate.

In the end, though, it is the administrator (John) who makes the final decision.

No sarcasm intended here at all -- you've really changed your tone a lot since then.
