Yeah I'm not sure what MMF did wrong in that thread. timbit did his usual one sentence dick post, and then was wrong but could accept it gracefully and needed to take personal shots at people. If he had just said "yup I was wrong, my bad" all would have been fine. I've seen people not get banned for much worse. Unless he said something in PM that was really over the line. Can't imagine a PM could be THAT bad though.

Yeah, that's pretty rough if that's what got him banned. It was a very accurate description of timbit's annoying posting style.

I wonder how many long time members have never had an infraction.

I"ve had a few and one sin-binning.

I collect infractions like my stepson collects pokemon. Or at least I used to, I am much better at ignoring the king trolls of the board and most have been banned.

I was kind of the opposite, I was a lot more a-holish and sweary a few years ago (hard to imagine I know) and I racked up some infractions in a small period of time.

I could tell by the tone of guys like Ken002 and Jiri when they'd infract me was basically like "c'mon man, seriously?".

I'm probably a good example of the infraction system here actually working, as it turned me from a poster who was going further and further into "hey, I'm just here to be a ****", to "hey, I'm kind of a ****, but a nice, polite ****, who can take a shot and not get bent out of shape."

People who drive slower than the speed limit in the left lane, really grind my gears.

Me too. I don't want to get banned so I police myself pretty strictly. 90% of my posts I delete before submitting.

Yeah, I've self-edited probably 50 plus posts directed at moon and timbit in the last year alone. They post the way they post, and they know what they're doing, but at the end of the day, it's just not worth it.

Why? It's not against the law to drive slow in the left lane. Slow down, or go around me.

Just assume everything you say on CP will be posted next to your real name. Like anything else online CP is a soapbox, use it wisely.

Dammit, why couldn't timbit have been banned instead?

Thanks for the heads up fotze! Too bad MMF's tweets are private. Pretty entertaining still.

Thankfully it's only a sin bin. He gets personal sometimes with his posts (like everyone else) but overall is a solid contributor to this forum and would have been missed if it was a lifetime.

Eh MMF increased his Twitter followers by about 10 today, so I think his mission was accomplished.

"Twitter" is actually recognized as a real word already, damn that was fast.
