AmiGeek banned, yet again?
« on: February 13, 2008, 11:52:21 PM »
It seems that all history of Mr. AmiGeek has all gone but i'm puzzeld why. Yes hes been an ass in the past but he seemed honest enough to change his ways, trying to make it up to people he has dissapointed which can't be bad. Oddly hes linked A.Org on is on website and he's removed his own forum, what's going on? :-?

He seemed like he wanted to mend his ways, shame that he had to be banned again but why this time?

AFAIK he created multiple accounts without Wayne's approval.

What I typed before, he pissed off too many people in the past here.

But erasing everything he posted and erasing postings by other people  :-? Pure censorship imho.

Good ridance if you ask me.  Guy is nothing but trouble. Its not the first time hes promised to mend his ways, and say eveyone was lying about him.

He has a history of doing this

Thing is no one was lying about him and hes a nutjob.

Would not have taken long for him to get back to his old ways.

I was more than willing to give him a chance again. However (and maybe it's just me) some of his later post where begining to sound a bit combative and unremorseful. He needed to be on his best exemplary behaviour given past history. If he was creating multiple accounts as Red suggest, that's enough to get even an average joe banned.

As I said before, I did not see anything offensive in his posts, but maybe I missed some, I do think he was really trying to improve his image, but he was under constant attack and maybe his composure slipped a little, but I still think he should be allowed back and if he is banned in future, everyone  sees the reason why.

@A6000

Perhaps when you're not able to compare the memory ancient posts to current ones, the perspective is differnt. Maybe you missed a couple of the grumpier ones I read. Though he was off to a good start, I was seeing shades of the old days. Granted, he was being badgered by some he had upset in the past. I hoped he would rise above that and prove the critics wrong, but alas....

And then there's Wayne, owner of the site. No telling what history he has with Doomy. And as the master and owner of amiga.org, I wouldn't suspect he doesn't have to tell us the reasons if he doesn't want to.

AMC257.
Someone did that to me on a forum directly related to my 'AMC258' name.  He/she was blatantly a troll because everyone on the forum knew what an AMC258 is and he/she did not.  It would be like someone coming here with the name "Amiga499"....

On the subject of DoomyGeek, I was willing to give him a Nth chance too, because I was trying to be a nice guy.  But, only he who banned him knows what he did to get banned.  For all we know, he could have threatened Wayne's life or something.  Whatever it is he did, I trust it justified his banning, because I have not seen the powers that be here do anything else unjust.

So, if they wanted to keep the posts and ban the user, all they do is change the user name to "Banned" and put in a bogus password.  I have seen this done on other forums.  But, assume he really rubbed you as moderator the wrong way.  Wouldn't you want to totally flush him out too?

What the heck is an A6000? :lol:

Seriously though, it's an American Motors Corporation 258cid inline 6 cylinder gasoline fired internal combustion engine :)  I own *almost* as many of those as Amigas :)
