Yup, I just banned him...

Commodorejohn has been banned for a week.  I did it.  I'll do it again too.

I have had enough crap from people who run roughshod over the TOS, the Mods and the owners.  A.ORG used to be a place where people got together and talked about almost everything with like minded people.  Now it is the, "Troll Place" as a friend called it.

Seriously,if you want to be snide, mean spirited, belligerent, passive aggressive, a jerk, an instigator or anything else that detracts from the forum, go away!  Go to Moonbunny or whatever.

A.ORG will only be as good as it's members.  We still have a lot of good ones, but we used to have tons!  So many members have been driven away by hostile posts and replies.

So no polls on how we can make the site better or change the moderation.  No more, "Let me explain my feelings on how I mod" discousions.  We all agreed to the TOS when we first signed up and since we are also grownups, we should also have the wherewithal to treat each other with respect.

The reason Commodrejohn was banned for a week was because he broke the TOS after he was given a warning.

I announced it for several reasons.  First was that I usually make it known when I do this because I feel everyone deserves to know when such an action is taken.  I do not ban from the shadows nor do I do it without giving a warning or five.  By making it a news item I can make sure everyone has a chance to know what a Mod has done, not to showcase the individual.

Second, the reasons he was banned echoed of an on going issue on A.ORG.  My, "There's a new Sheriff in town" talk could have been done better, but on the same note there is no one perfect way to describe or explain my position.

Was there more to CJs ban then what is in the thread?  Yes.  Am I going to talk about the particulars?  No.  The OP covered the breaches so, hopefully, this will be avoided in the future.

Truth is I HATE putting out names.  The only reason I do it here is for the reasons I mentioned above.  If you think my tactics are too much one way or another, okay, that's fine.  But if you want to express yourself about me or anyone else on A.ORG in an abusive way, that's not fine.

People are allowed to have a difference of opinion and as I've said on countless occasions that is what makes the Amiga so great!  But when you purposely post to cause discord or anything else that breaks the TOS, how can you NOT get penalized?  
 
Oh, and if you think I am allowed to run around banning people willy-nilly, I already have, and replied to, a PM from SysAdmin to explain my actions.  It's all part of the job.  I know it is thankless.  But I still do it and I'll continue to do it the best way I know how.
