Ban? or no Ban?
 

I actually temporarily banned Moviemaster1993 (1993 which probably means he's either 16 or 17 years old) because of his response to my initial query as to whether or not he was a foreigner (his English was pretty bad) and I pointed out that being up front in your User Page that English is not your first language, warns us ahead of time to be extra patient with any bad writing on the user's part. The exchange rather degenerated into this:

Violation of IMFDB rules? (I thought the request to blow one's own brains out was borderline threats but you guys make the call). I don't think I was out of line when I wondered if English was NOT his native language, but he really took offense. I figured he's just such an idiot that IMFDB would be better off without him. Thoughts? :D

Lift the ban? :D Or not.

I see no reason to bring him back, he's not really a substancial user to the site and that outburst was pretty ridiculous. Of all people to chew out, YOU MPM are the number one person on the site no one should fuck with. Plus he dissed America, screw him. :D

As for telling you to blow your brains out, that's not a threat but it's still a pretty mega-douche thing to say.

Frankly, this guy pollutes every page he posts on. And telling a people to inflict physical harm on themselves is... I just can't find the words to describe how heinous I find that.

I vote permanent banhammer. That's what I'd do if it happened on any of my forums. But you're the boss here.

There was nothing wrong with asking if English was his first language. That guy was just a dick

We're not even in Iraq, all 3 times that happened were in Afghanistan.

The guy's a douche. He deserves to be banned.

So he's a misinformed douche that doesn't even do the research needed to make himself sound less stupid.

This site doesn't need that kind of attitude.

No, seriously, keep the ban. Language is not an excuse for not posting your personal data or calling MPM a nazi...

Hahaha. Thanks, but I'm just ONE mod of several. Gunmaster45 is a Mod as well, has just as much 'power' as I do, as does MT2008, Alienqueen11, SpeakEasy, Excalibur, etc. The only 'real' boss is "Bunni" and he floats around watching all of us, quietly, not interfering in the 'affairs of human kind'. :)

BTW, any time American forces accidentally take out our friends/allies with a friendly fire incident, it just makes me sick! :( I hate it when that happens. It's horrible and I feel rotten about it.

Actually when I read more about World War II, there were TONS of friendly fire incidents. IN 1942-43 British AAA gunners mistook American P51s for German fighters and shot them down. the list goes on and on. :(

We have our own big brother?:D

Sadly, all wars involve friendly fire. In the South Atlantic War, a Mirage attempted to land in the islands and was confused with a british Harrier (when the pilot dropped the external fuel tanks) and was gunned down with a twin Oerlikon AA cannon.

How many mods do we actually have?

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Imfdb...Administrators

The following users are Sysops or Administrators:

* User:Alienqueen11

* User:Bunni

* User:Excalibur01‎

* User:Gunmaster45

* User:MT2008

* User:MoviePropMaster2008

* User:Orca1 9904

* User:Phoenixent

* User:Speakeasy804

Keep the ban. What an idiot. If he hates guns that much why in God's names is he a contributer here? Nope we don't need him.

So if Bunni's our "Big Brother" can we post posters all over the site that has a picture of Bunni and a caption reading "Big Brother is watching you"?

How dare he accuse us of mispronouncing "tomato". :mad:

This work? :D

I had another dude talk to me like that once. I asked him not to post pics of firearms we had already, and he told me to go fuck myself. So I temp-banned him. He then deleted my entire user page through another IP, and I haven't seen him since.

I dunno what it is with some people. I admit that we're all OCD sometimes, but this kind of behavior is just uncalled-for. As for MovieMaster1993, this dude needs to clean that sand outta his vagina.

Yes. Yes it will work.

I had a guy delete roughly 3/4 of my user page before. Alienqueen (I think) restored it and locked my page, something I recommend you do

That's why I protected my page so that only mods can do anything to it.

How do I protect my page? Can I if I'm not a moderator? If I can I can't figure it out. Help please.

What is your IMFDB user page? On the general list I dont' find "Checkman"

Yeah I went with Jcordell before I thought about it. Yes that's part of my actual name. So I'm Jcordell over there. I know brain fart. :o

By the way any luck with finding an Enfield Mk II to photograph?

WTF?!?!?! You're Jcordell? :eek::eek:

I know, I was suprised too

Wait, I don't know who Jcordell is? Should I know who he is?

You didn't know that?! I haven't been here in months and I knew that. :eek:

Shhhhhhh. He's a huge rock star. He has more women than Hugh Hefner, more groupies than Mick Jagger, More money than Warren Buffett, more fake hair than Donald Trump......

LOL...do tell

I knew him before he was famous. :cool:

Geez I'm flattered. I knew I felt my ears burning earlier today. Yeah I pretty much go with Checkman on most of the gun forums I belong to. The High Road, The Smith & Wesson Forum The Colt Forum, British Pub gun forum ect. On the Firing Line I'm Jeff #111. I actually joined this forum before I created my page on imfdb. Like I said I had a brain lock and used two different names. Sorry for causing any undue confusion.

Go to my page on imfdb and you can see my picture. It's on the discussion page. It's a few years old, but I haven't changed that much. And when you see my photo you'll know it's me. Anybody wanting to present an illusion about themselves sure wouldn't post that picture. LOL.

OMG!!! I just realized what you wrote. Argentinians refer to that war as "The South Atlantic War", whereas Great Britain (and American BTW) call it "The Falklands War" (of 1982).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War
I KNEW you were from Argentina, but it never clicked until now. :D

That was a fascinating conflict, in that both sides were pretty evenly matched as far as technology, weapons, and the like. Sorry to say (for the Argentinians) that the British training and battlefield doctrine was far superior. What I found fascinating was that even the British military noted the 'courage' of the Argentinian military forces, even though they were doomed in the conflict (especially their pilots).

I know a few BRITISH Falklands War vets and they have some very interesting stories. I don't know any Argentinian vets from the same conflict, though.

Sorry for the digression. :)

Announcement: I just made the ban on moviemaster1993 permanent. When IMFDB user Kenny99 queried moviemaster1993 as to why he falsely represented his facebook page as an 'official' studio sanctioned page for the film Transformers 3 with unauthorized behind the scenes photos, his reply was simply "I didn't". Which is preposterous since his name is LIAM and the creator of the facebook page is named Liam and he admitted in a public forum that he was the creator.

Rather reminds me of Bart Simpson saying "I didn't do it" except not as funny. :mad:

Anyway, his only reply to my comments was "hahahaha you really hate me don't you?"

Seriously, his actions could bring a bunch of trouble to IMFDB and he just doesn't get it.

Sorry but the site does NOT need anyone who is that big of a douchebag. If he apologized or said that he wouldn't do it again, the mods would have cut him some slack.

End announcement.

Amen. Get rid of the bastard.

Adios. He won't be missed.

I applaud any use of the almighty Banhammer

God, I hate fanboys who do things like that, they´re like attention wh#res. Well done MPM.

He's not even a fanboy. A Fanboy you can forgive because they like their "insert game, movie, or gun", but this guy is just some random asshole. He doesn't really contribute. Goes out of his way to make a second username, just so he can redo parts of the Black Hawk Down page and make dick jokes.

At least fanboys try to justify why they like something, even if they are being a douche, this just's just a fucking asshole and good riddance.

Interesting war if the US did not have their fingers in it the outcome might have been different. US sold Argentina A4 Skyhawks with no bomb sights and then gave the British the latest AIM-9 Sidewinders. The US also delayed the sale of IAI Nesher form Israel to Argentina due to the fact that it used a J79 engine. Sorry for the digression again on this topic.

Good deal on the banning of moviemaster1993. We don't need that kind of problem.
