The blue buffalo and little green indian is known only to those "real gc oldschoolers."

I did a search and found the blue buffalo and the little green indian. Deep stuff.

I laugh everytime this thread pops-up!

It reminds me of Eminem... you can not pay for the publicity, the worse it is, the bigger he gets! I almost feel like UFPike is larger-than-life and it is not due to his posts.

Yum. I love beer. I want one. Except it's a Tuesday afternoon and I'm only 19. Hmmph, oh well. I guess water works too.

I'm a beer chick myself. I love beer, but I hate it how it makes me very gassy.

I think some of the moderators on GC should be replaced. They are so inconsistent. UF Pike posts something that is offensive and he gets banned. A different poster might say something equally offensive and the post doesn't even get deleated?

What do you think about the following post?

While I am a White Male of a White Greek Organization, I hate Niggars, Chinks, Spicts, wet backs, Red People, purple people, or anyone else that is not White!

One of the finest moments I have had in my life is talking with Brother Rodney---- Who is Afro American in a Limo upon the death of My and Our Patroness.

He is a fine Brother Who I am Proud to call a Brother!

I am envesious of some of my greek members who do not go out to get a tan! I burn like hell but tan! S, N, E, and many others dont have to work on it!

So What! It dont rub off people!

I Will be more than proud to Kiss any of the Ladys of any Soroity when we can get together and meet, I will hug and shake hands with the Many Brothers of different Fraternitys that I have met!

We are all some what the same, the love for our Organizations and the people who we deal with everyday on this site!

We are the Best Of The Best and do not ever forget it!

Regardless of what people may think of this individual, I read several of the derogatory comments that were made to indivuals via GC Threads.

Whether he was bashed by individuals or not, is not the question here. He was being abusive and derogatory to many people because of physical atributes, color of skin or origin!

This person was warned many times and did nothing to correct what he posted.

While some of you profess to this person being a nice guy, I too backed him until he reverted to his previous actions!

He is the only one who did it to himslef! Period!

John does not Ban someone on a whim or what any of the Moderators say about an individual.

John is the final authority on banning and has ways to find out if it is the same person. His decision is final. He does not do it lightly even though there were many people who did not want this person back on site. John has given plenty of chances to no avail. UF-P had the rope and he hung himself with no help!

[kddani]

DRINK!

To go along with the GC drinking game thread.......

I think i'm going to stay out of this debate

[madmax]

Is anyone going to reply?

This thread isn't about Tom or any other mod. The reason for UFP being banned has been spelled out by the site admin. Don't know what more you could ask for. The guy was banned before, created another account, shouldn't have even been back here in the first place.

[Peaches-n-Cream]

That post is really bad. I think if you find the original thread you can read it in its context. Personally, I find that type of language terribly offensive.

I think that your post is an attempt to take the negative focus off UF-Pike and put it on Tom. It doesn't change things with UF_Pike, and I think that it won't reverse the ban.

[sugar and spice]

We've discussed this subject before, and basically, the consensus is that if enough people complain, the moderators act on the complaints. Apparently, the moderators got enough complaints about UF_Pike to take action, but not enough people complained about that post of Tom's . . . not surprising, since it's pretty tough to make sense of his posts half the time anyway.

Besides, one post of Tom's is hardly equivalent to countless posts of UF_Pike's which have been offensive to minorities and women.

[The1calledTKE]

For the millionth time mods cannot ban people. If mods could ban, some mods would have banned pike along time ago. John has given that guy more chances than you can count.

[James]

Well we could reply, but what would we say lol?

Yes its inconsistant.

No there are no set guidelines to what leads to censure or banning.

And yes, some people can probably get away with stuff that others can't .

Very few people get banned on GC. So the debate usually happens when a long time user gets banned as opposed to the ones that get banned really quickly for spam or utter vulgarity.

As Zntke succinctly put, the moderators do not ban. Only the site Admin, John, does.

Contrary to popular belief, I don't belief John is omniscient or omnipresent. Sorry John if you are lol.

So he relies on what he reads, complaints he receives via PM or email, but primarily the viewpoints of moderators.

So basically the opinions and experiences of moderators will do a lot to sway those types of decisions in either direction.

That is like....every guy at some point in life.

Is that really the millionth time. You should go back and count so you don't give out false information
