Respect, moderators.
I know moderating isn't an easy task (like being a ref) but some things are more black and white than others. Things like harassment and derogatory language.
It's a pretty thankless gig so thank you for trying to make this a place where people can come to take a break from the real world and talk ball. This place has gotten me through a dull afternoon more than once and I think better basketball analysis, opinions and discussions are more likely to come out without those negative forces.
Again, thanks.

Luckily I don't hear racist language and insults in the real world. Making racist epithets online isn't any less significant though.

On most sites outside of those frequented by neo-Nazis, racial slurs and accusations as to one's sexual preference are most certainly ban-worthy, and in short order. I saw the quotes and they were pathetic, ugly, and shameful. If this were the first time for it, I would agree that the ban was quick. But this wasn't the first time. Even after his first ban, he was antagonizing the mods right out of the gate.
At some point, there aren't any cheeks left to turn, and when one poster's pathology is allowed to fester long enough, and to the detriment of several members, a lack of action becomes complicity. I don't envy the fine line our mods have to walk at all. To equate any comments that they have made to Cadbane with the comments Cadbane sent to rabbitproof is a complete and utter joke. Any defense, whatsoever, of those comments is shameful. If you didn't read what he originally posted, my advice would be to just move along. Reading them certainly didn't add anything of benefit to my life.

Um, I think when he said, "that was a quick ban," he was talking about how one of Cadbane's new profiles disappeared quickly, but you wouldn't have noticed because his comments were also removed...
Hope that clears up the confusion.

Yeah, the memory hole temporarily swallowed up some of this thread, not that that isn't understandable.
So, MavsFTR, I apologize for not understanding what the hell was going on. Reading a few posts citing hypocrisy from the mods cheesed me off a bit, and I thought you were referring to Cadbane's initial ban (this time). My bad, man.

Yes, you are wasting your time. I was being extremely sarcastic. Of course what he said was ban worthy....I tried to make the sarcasm stick out like a sore thumb, but I suppose I should work on it a little bit.

You should've used a more sarcastic font...

What good is sarcasm if the person reading doesn't figure out that it's sarcasm on their own?

I didn't realize others had seen what he said. Was it posted during the arguing? I was out that night and didn't read everything when I got back on.

Regardless, I know how cadbane behaves. I didn't need to see what was said to trust that he deserved a banning..

Ah, I didn't realize Rabbit had posted that. I must have skimmed right past it.

I went to give Cad rep just a few minutes ago and noticed his little blue check mark was gone. Looked over to the side and saw banned. Decided to look into it and I see this mess. What was said by him definitely went over the top, even for my standards.
Crazy...

BTW, the Mods can see (and edit) reputation that's been left, so if you ever need to lodge a complaint, you don't have to go to the trouble of a screenshot.

I don't want to speak for Rabbit, but I think that screenshot was for the whole site to see, not just the mods...
I know it definitely impacted MY opinion on the matter (not that my opinion matters) - those were some ugly words to read, and there's very little room for debate about what was said with a screenshot.

I know. I just wanted everyone to know that if you ever have an issue like that you can just fire off a PM to the mods and ask them to check the their rep and we can see it. Makes it simple.
And maybe I wanted to remind everyone that we can see the rep comments, so it's not this secretive way of insulting someone that some seem to think it is.

agreed.
if not for THAT overthetop malice... i would've been on the side of: "characters add interest to the discussions" and been on the side of leaving him here, even if he was a tool.
but... that crossed some lines.

I was more or less shocked and didn't know where to go with it or that mods could read rep. Hopefully it won't be necessary in the future.

Yeah, I've usually been on the same side but this was too much.

Instead of having a list of 5-6 words that we can't say on the forum, we should probably adopt a rule to where we can only say 5-6 different words.. just to change things up.

It was pretty shocking to see Cad's rep to rabbit in actual print...but if it at all surprised anyone, then I guess you didn't know Cad all that well. Dude was always exploding on people.

I'm actually glad you cleared that up Murphy. I couldn't detect for certain. Almost posted the NSIS.

He's apparently going to all the powers-that-be on twitter
@CadBaneLives: @KhloeKardashian Khloe, I love you and Lammy! U should checkout http://dallas-mavs.com. Cowards are bashing Lammy! #freecadbane"
He's acting like this is his first ever offense. Hasn't he been banned before?

As anyone that has read the Lin thread knows (and some other previous threads), I've gone back and forth with Cad before. I'd be inclined to say that personalities like that can work when you're bored and want a debate.
BUT - what he said to rabbit was way way way out of line. And definitely ban-worthy.
Also, funny thing about Cad - he's the only person that has ever given me negative rep, and I had never neg-repped him before or anything (like he was paying me back). He just really seems to have no clue on how to interact with people. Wonder what he's like in real life.
