sparkychewbarky Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 darkpiranha's been a positive contributor to these boards for about 15 years now. Pretty harsh IMO. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The double standards on these boards have become a little obvious. Again... a one year suspension's too much and smells of something else at play here. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Spoiled for those who want to remain in the dark. Spoiler 1. Being a racist, or at the least, making racist jokes, results in consequences. 2. This is a message board, not a democratic harmony of peaceful nations. The mod team voted. It merited a year. It wasn't an irrational thing. 3. I have literally no memory of anything darkpiranha posted before this stupid train thing. I figured he could've been around the boards a month and this was just another flameout account. Clearly not that memorable of a poster. 4. If darkpiranha had defenders among a fairly sprawling mod team, they didn't exactly come to his defense. 5. If you think collusion and secret handshakes occur among the mod team, you have been misinformed by a margin wider than the oceans of time.

No perhaps, that's what happened. 5 hours ago, sparky said: I do know that certain other members would have received no more than a slap on the wrist. Care to tell us who these other members were who received slaps on the wrist for posting racist, inflammatory content? We generally have zero-tolerance for that. If we've missed something like that please inform us so we can rectify it. 5 hours ago, sparky said: The double standards on these boards have become a little obvious. People like to claim there are double standards all the time, but here's another secret, direct from a mod. If you asked each of us to write up a list of "favourite posters" to receive "special treatment" all of our lists would look different and we'd argue with each other over who got on each other's lists. Fact is you're not in any position to say there are double standards. At all. We judge each case on a case by case basis. If darkpiranha didn't want a lengthy suspension he shouldn't have posted racist, inflammatory content. 5 hours ago, sparky said: Again... a one year suspension's too much and smells of something else at play here. You know what I have zero time for, sparky? Passive aggressiveness. If you wanna say something, say it.

Exactly. When it comes to mod votes, I've voted to suspend or ban people I like and I've defended people I have no use for. What I thought of them personally had no bearing on how I voted. The only thing I consider when voting is the severity of the offense. We enforce the rules. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Don't know darkpiranha, though I'm familiar with the name. Don't care that he's gone. Don't know who most of the mods are anymore, or what they do on a day-to-day basis, but I love these disciplinary notices. There's a politically incendiary, racist train concept somewhere on CCSLC? Not going to lie - I'm intrigued . . . I mean if that description comes up in my Netflix recommendations, I'm going to check it out, hoping for something like Mel Gibson starring in an action comedy about Jefferson Davis fleeing to Danville. Anybody got a link to this blockbuster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Piranha is lucky he will get a 2nd chance, after he finishes serving his year long suspension. It could have been a ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If darkpiranha is a poster you enjoyed, they'll be back eventually, and hopefully with a renewed sense of appreciation for the community. We're not out to make enemies or tear anyone down. It's just the internet. This too shall pass. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

That's the point, because the exercise of creating a "special treatment" list would be doomed to failure.
