SLX: prisoner of war / missing in action
 
I am holding a vigil thread, right here.

On August 31, 2001 in a day that will live in infamy, SLX was banned. This is the official notice he received from TANK GIRL:
"You have been suspended for your continuous trolling of the forum with hostile and harassing posts against other members, mods and admins included. You may contact Gaz and discuss your possible unsuspension after a few weeks when he comes back if you are still interested to return."

And not only was SLX banned, but so was the rest of his family. TANK GIRL assumed (or justified) wrongly that other members of his family were SLX clones.

SLX should not have been banned. The banning was an example of managing too much, on the part of TANK GIRL. In my humble opinion TANK GIRL is no longer worthy of her job, and should step down or be removed.

That's all I have to say for now in this vigil, and may I add for SLX:
you are not forgotten.

You are going to wear out your keyboard before you make any progress eclectica. It's done, and it won't change no matter how many threads are started or bumped about it. That was proven before when certain members were suspended.

Episode One:


The Walton household: dead of night.

John Boy: "MA! MA! I've been suspended!"

Ma: (Rushes to the computer) "Well, what is it that caused such a thing to happen, son?"

JB: "I really have no idea, Ma, I was just havin' a little fun, is all."

Ma: "Here, let me see if my account still logs." *clickity-clickity*

(Pa enters room)

Pa: "What's all this trouble in the middle of the night, son?"

Ma: "Well, looks like a glitch to me. I don't seem to be able to get in. You'll have to go to the store in the morning, send a telegram."

JB: "You try Pa, will ya? I only wanna little more fun."

Pa: "Well, alright, boy. But this better be good." *clickity-clickity*

(Grampa enters room)

John boy looks: goggle-eyed

JB: "That's incredible, Grampa. You've been dead since 1978."

Grampa: "Yeah, I know, but I have to try to log in.."

Pa: "Well, I've tried, son, but I can't just seem to fix it. You'll just have to do without for the time being."

Grampa: "Here, let me try." *feeble clicking*

JB: "You're looking good, for a dead man, Gramps."

Grampa: "Why thankee, boy. Nope... Nope.... What was my password again?"

To be continued.....

Remember when the Russian submarine sank, and their commanders gave up on them? That is not what I'm going to do with poor ole slx.

Here's one for SLX: Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata

This is the music that was used in the movie "Misery". How appropriate; I think TANKGIRL is the lady in the movie.

I've been warn'd
 
Sound familiar? Today I check my e-mail, and I see this letter from TANKGIRL:
Quote:
- This is a copy from a PM I sent to you -

Hi eclectica.

I enabled your PM so that you would get this message in case your e-mail would not reach you. Feel free to switch the PM function off after receiving this.

You have been recently posting some 'quoted' material that is obviously originating from slx. Helping a suspended member to circumvent his suspension is an abuse of your personal account which is for your own voice only. You are free to protest with your own voice within the guidelines but if you insist on relaying slx's messages to the board, you subject also yourself to a suspension. The choice is yours and there will be no further warnings about this.

- tg ;)

I found the letter to be professionally written, assuming it is honest. TANKGIRL was correct that indeed those items that I quoted were written by SLX. But TANKGIRL was wrong in assuming that GOSSIPER, KELSTER, and MORTAMER were SLX clones. That's 50-50 in the guessing department. My only wonder is, when TANKGIRL flips her next coin to test a "hunch", will it come up in my favor or not?

So I received a warning rather than an outright suspension, which I am grateful for. Looking back through some of the old threads however, I do not see any of SLX's quotes. The reason why is that TANKGIRL deleted them. Does that mean that I also get a clean slate too, and the next violation will result in a warning rather than a suspension? After all, TANKGIRL asserts I quoted SLX, but then went to delete the said threads, so where's the proof? I'll tell you now that I could play a game like that, but I won't: I'll just be my honest self, in the interests of my own credibility, and admit to what was done. I hope it's a level playing field here.

But realistically it's not. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes in e-mails, of some accusing others of this or that. I'm pretty sure that SLX does not have clones, and that TANKGIRL has made a mistake, not only by initially banning him, but by also banning his whole family. There is for example the Gossiper-Ramona factor, which is basically a feud that Gossiper, also known as ROGUE_REPORTER, had in Napster speakout. As I understand it, GOSSIPER was critical of RAMONA, calling her a failed artist who wasn't able to produce music that the masses were interested in. RAMONA got very upset, and put the blame on SLX, and afterwards there was a tension between the two of them. Not that RAMONA is to be confused with TANKGIRL, but it's possible RAMONA said something like this to TANKGIRL: "I know for a fact that GOSSIPER and SLX are the same people.", such that TANKGIRL may get swayed in that direction (or just do a coin toss) more easily. Well that is one of many possibilities, and there are probably a whole bunch at work. Not least of which would be the personal resentment that TANKGIRL feels towards SLX for him calling her some curse words.

Quite a soap opera, as 4947 would say.

That's detergent drama, please quote me correctly.:BL:

Even if the three other users were family members, the 30 seconds between each logging on from the same ISP would be enough for me to thing someone was trying to circumvent the suspension. :ND:

Hmmmmmmmmm Thinking about this thread ;)

Dawn 09-05-01 12:03 PM

I was chatting with slx the day before yesterday, and he said some very valid points about all this.

But one thing that I reminded him is that this is indeed a paid for forum, and if it was mine, I'd expect to run things the way I wanted, without having to explain myself to anyone. TankGirl made a decision, and I don't think it's up to us to question that.

Some of you think this place should be completely free of moderation. I for one don't think I'd stick around too long if things weren't kept under control somewhat.

09-05-01 12:05 PM

The detergent drama continues...

I'm the only one still going at this theme, but you'd appreciate someone like me if you were in the position of being banned, to have a voice on your behalf.

And those of you who are confident that SLX, GOSSIPER, KELSTER, and MORTAMER are clones of each other, not only are denying them the benefit of the doubt, but also only hearing one side of the story because they're all banned and can't argue their side.

I believe that it's possible that some family members would share the same IP addresses, as they may live under the same roof; and also may be in contact with each other, hence explaining the simultaneous log-ins.

If this forum is anything like a trial (though I understand it's privately maintained), then the burden of proof would be on TANKGIRL to proove that SLX et al. are clones. Then again, if TANKGIRL is really devious, then she could come up with any IP numbers to prove her case. So far TANKGIRL has been mute, except to come in and delete my quotes of SLX.

Dawn 09-05-01 12:08 PM

If it was me, I wouldn't think I should have to explain my actions to anyone. Maybe that's why she isn't replying to all these. Because she really doesn't have to.

The following are two e-mails I sent TANKGIRL last night, asking for clarification of the rule which prohibits quoting of banned members:
Quote:
TANKGIRL:

How about if I post links to SLX's pictures on a website. Is that a violation? Or how about if I link to SLX's words on another website, or quote old ones SLX wrote in napsterites.net before he was suspended? I need to know, as I'm walking on thin ice here.

-eclectica
Quote:
Here are a few more questions along the lines of the last ones I sent you:
1. Is there a statute of limitations for banned members, where their quotes will become public domain after say, 35 years?
2. If SLX is reinstated, can I safely quote him from stuff he wrote during his banned period?
3. If someone has the same style of writing as SLX, and writes about the same things that SLX would write about, and even has the same name as SLX, can I quote that person?
It may seem to you as absurd if I ask these questions, but a person who enforces rules, and expects them to be taken seriously, should be able to answer questions like these, or at least try to.

Wenchie 09-05-01 12:16 PM

Eclectica......I'm just sitting here wondering.....have you spoken to these 'other' members? I mean you and ol' slx seem to be pretty good buds ... it would be dead easy to for him to prove to you, at least, that they are all seperate entities.....and then you would be able to post the 'facts' as opposed to suppositions.

DAWN, what you say is very possibly what's going on here. No need for rules when you think about it, as that would suggest that there would be explainable reasons (rather than an arbitrary decision) for banning someone. Maybe TANKGIRL's motto is "kill them all; let Gaz sort them out".

I doubt that's true, otherwise you'd be gone too. :hmm:

09-05-01 12:29 PM

ALBANIAN WENCH, I have not spoken to the other members, and I must say that I'm not 100% sure. My feeling though is that these others are not SLX clones. I think they are reluctant to have to come out and prove themselves, as they would have to give up their privacy to do so.

However, the burden of proof is on TANKGIRL (DAWN disagrees with this) to prove that these people (GOSSIPER, KELSTER, and MORTAMER) are all SLX clones.

Keep in mind that we've only been hearing one side of the story, as I've been prohibited from posting SLX's quotes.

Dawn 09-05-01 12:33 PM

I have indeed heard both sides.

But surely they would be willing to do such a small thing for their 'family' member?

But slx is still posting at RLD isnt he? And a lot of the members here read and post there as well.....personally I havent seen anything convincing there for slx's side.

Headbanger 09-05-01 01:31 PM

I don't believe anyone has made the statement that Mortimer, Gossiper and Kelster are not definately legit members. But the evidence does support the idea that slx has access to these names and passwords so that he could log on with them himself... which is evidently what he did.

And clearly, giving a suspended member access to the forum through another person's account subjects the other person to suspension as well.

For all of you that are worried about the fate of the ill-treated troll family I am pleased to inform you that at least the head of the family is well and alive and has been seen at RLD, a nice unmoderated forum admined by my esteemed colleague Sixx. If I understand correctly Nicobie has already made some friendly inquiries about the rest of the family - maybe he can enlighten us more about their state and fate. :CG: Anyway, I am sure they all will show up there in due time and start posting as their own distinct personalities so that we learn to know them all better and can see with our own eyes what a symphatetic bunch of Napsterites lovers they are.

Meanwhile I recommend eclectica to have himself invited to a family dinner to their house to meet the main characters as well as the rest of the passionately lurking family. This of course assuming that we are not talking about a closed institution where visitors are not allowed. :BL:

09-05-01 06:57 PM

My take on this
 
Don't know if anyone has noticed lately, but after being a semi-permanent fixture here, I have become extremely scarce. I gather slx has been has been doing some trolling. Though I do not know the exact nature of the trolls, it does make me think about the nature of the censorship that goes on in this forum.

Let's face, we all are adults here. I myself had a post deleted because of some bathroom humour. I did not think it was deletable material, it was a pretty light reference. I was highly insulted, given that at the time there were active threads about wanting boob and wee-wee pics.

If there's anything that pisses me off it's double standards! Since I wasn't in the "in" crowd, I got the short end of the deal.

I feel that slx is getting the same treatment.

Quoth Dawnie:

I was chatting with slx the day before yesterday, and he said some very valid points about all this.

But one thing that I reminded him is that this is indeed a paid for forum, and if it was mine, I'd expect to run things the way I wanted, without having to explain myself to anyone. TankGirl made a decision, and I don't think it's up to us to question that.


I agree. But unfortunately, strong censorship is quite unpopular, and not likely to keep readership high. The proof is not allowing anyone to question the policy.

Some of you think this place should be completely free of moderation. I for one don't think I'd stick around too long if things weren't kept under control somewhat.

Why does everyone think that moderation on this forum an all-or-nothing affair? There's way too much moderation, including the "bleeping" of supposedly foul language. Wake up! We are adults and that language is fairly commonplace. It's a nice utopia, but not at all realistic.

Seeing this kind of conflict only convinces me that I do not need the kind of bullcrap that goes on in this place, where posters are kept on a tight leash and mods and admins are on total power trips. And hey, sometimes trolls add a little fun and interesting reading!

Go ahead, flame me, but I'm not afraid to voice an unpopular opinion.

09-05-01 07:02 PM

Quoth Tankgirl:

This of course assuming that we are not talking about a closed institution where visitors are not allowed.

Then why does this site require registration to even view the posts?

Dawn 09-05-01 07:14 PM

Hey doggie, I did a poll not too long ago that asked how people felt that suspensions should be dealt with.

Alot of people commented that they thought we should get rid of moderation all together, even tho that's now what I was asking. My statement was in response to that.

And by the way, I had a harmless cartoon pic "removed" ( I was asked to remove it, or it would be removed for me, so I removed it) too. I thought it was a harmless cartoon, in my opinion. So it wasn't just you. :hmm:

Why do you even ask... this is a closed institution! :BL: :att:

Seriously, Gaz should be back in 2-3 weeks and as soon as he has settled down and counted all his gold he'll surely evaluate the question of visitors and opening up the automatic registration. Until that we'll probably continue with the current system.

Dawn 09-05-01 07:25 PM

Anybody give a shit about how I feel about the registration? Too bad, I'm gonna give it anyway.

The forum used to be open to everyone. New members came in, not alot, but slow and steady.

Then a some of the members decided that it would be "fun" to create several alias's. So many were created that it caused much trouble for a while. Basically, it was turmoil if I remember correctly.

So the rules were changed requiring alias's to post their orignal user name in their profile. When people didn't bother to comply with that, the rules were changed to say only 2 names per user.

Of course people couldnt just follow the rules, so that's why the registration is the way it is today. A select few ruined it for all of us.

Unfortunatley some still cant follow the rules.

First off, I feel bad that you had a harmless cartoon removed. (I wonder what is was...)

I knew some people who wanted to join, but were totally put off by the registration process. Potential good members cast aside.

09-05-01 08:10 PM

KDOGG, you're siriusly correct in what you say, that adults will be turned off by such bondage and censorship, and what will remain will be the meek and lobotomized. Administration has no idea how many people are missing in action right now. I know that SLX is gone, JCMD62 is on strike, ECLECTICA is only focused on one issue, but the others may have quit or gone on to other things, without kindly notifying us.

An interesting thing about this. I was "accused" of "kissing up" to the admin after I posted this.

Am I blind? Because I don't see anything here that suggests that I am for or against the decision of the admin on the matter in question.

You see, if they can make decisions without you questioning them, then you're on their side, because you're giving them a real easy time. Or do you also have a blind unquestioning faith in what SLX says? And if so, how do you resolve the contradictions?

I said the exact same thing to slx in chat, about if I was admin, that I should be able to make decisions without being questioned. He of all people should have known that my statement was simply that. A statement.

I have always been honest with him on this matter. If you and/or him choose not to believe me, then I guess that's your business.

And now I am done with this subject.

testing the waters
 
A little back I posted copies of e-mails I sent to TANKGIRL, in regards to the rule which prohibits the quoting of banned members. I have since received no response, so I would like to repost them again here. Also, I ask any of the moderators or administrators to answer this or anyone else who is knowledgeable; not necessarily TANKGIRL. I understand that these questions I pose, are not easy to answer. I'm just asking you to do the best you can, and it's okay to be unsure or to say you don't know too. Here are the questions:

1. How about if I post links to SLX's pictures on a website. Is that a violation?
2. Or how about if I link to SLX's words on another website, or quote old ones SLX wrote in napsterites.net before he was suspended?
3. Is there a statute of limitations for banned members, where their quotes will become public domain after say, 35 years?
4. If SLX is reinstated, can I safely quote him from stuff he wrote during his banned period?
5. If someone has the same style of writing as SLX, and writes about the same things that SLX would write about, and even has the same name as SLX, can I quote that person?


The one I'm most concerned about, is question #2. I would like to link to some current quotes and words of SLX, or link to a site of SLX's, with an .htm file on some website. Here is an example (using GOSSIPER instead of SLX): http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze2fwz4/gossiper.htm

Headbanger 09-06-01 02:33 AM

The idea is that the suspended member not be able to communicate to the forum while on suspension. People have already linked to his posts at the RLD. No policy has been established concerning the linking to suspended members... yet. Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure it will be discussed. :att:

the red light district
 
The "red light district" is an alternative forum (an underground underground forum), located here:
http://www.partylounge.net/tof/
I only recently discovered it. Comparing the the red light district to the napsterites underground, I find the registration process to be less intimidating. You can check out the place without being a member, whereas here you have to register before reading any of the posts. I'm disappointed in the content of most of the posts there, as they're not the types I'm interested in (I tend to like serious posts). However, for those of you who may find the napsterites underground forum dull some time, it's a good alternative.

I have been uncomfortable to go about "business as usual" in the napsterites underground, because of SLX being restricted. You see, I could just come here, and forget that SLX wasn't banned, and have fun, but I know that such a thing wouldn't be right. And remember, that SLX was the ultimate beater of the dead horse, so I owe it to him to keep beating this dead horse.

Here is the member roster of the red light district, with name, date joined, and number of posts. There are 90 members, 702 threads, and 5233 posts. That means the average thread has 7.5 posts. Here in the napsterites underground, the ratio of posts to threads is 14.1.
