When I was on this other forum (shoosh), the banned picture was a picture of the admin's balls with the words banned over them. I just had nostalgia for some reason. It's been over a year since I was on that site.
EDIT: lol balls
Double Edit: Just to clarify: i don't think that NC was balls worthy. He was funny sometimes.

I don't wish to rehash anything that might have been painful or difficult for others, but can someone fill me in on what happened? Through PM or by directing me to any particular posts? His account hasn't been deleted, so I'm particularly confused.

EDIT: Thanks for the PM, Hilari.
I'm curious too. All I've heard has just been bits and pieces.

Creep broke the board rules in an impressive variety of ways and was subsequently warned many times over and even suspended once. We gave him as many chances as we could but he kept pushing the envelope. What it boils down to is that we have to draw the line somewhere.

Creep got banned for being who he is!!!He made some lude yet funny posts.. And some prudes didn't like it, so they cried to the mods and MADE the mods do something harsh!!! so tread lightly around here, wouldn't want to piss the prissy lil people off...

I asked Creep via Facebook about the pre-ban warnings. Here's what he said:
one was for posting a backside naked picture of myself so that was cool, the picture i posted of a (corn) plant in the background of me was a dumb reason to get suspended and then the last one was for posting a link to tubgirl and i also post a NSFW warning above the link.
I don't see what the big deal is about a butt; that seems more PG-13 than R to me. I clarified it with him, asking if genitals were visible. He responded:
yea no balls or anything, really it was no worse than a full on ass crack
The plant pic which got him suspended was a dumb move; I'm with the mods on that one.
NSFW should be sufficient warning that a link contains offensive material, and it doesn't bring offensive material directly into our threads. Clicking that link is voluntary, and besides - it's not like he didn't warn anybody.
Chico linked a picture of his dyed-pink pubes with an NSFW warning, and he's still around... did he ever receive any official sanction from the mod squad?
I bet he is! but thats because certain people didn't gang up on him, and basically petition to get him banned. Which is mostly what happened in creeps situation!
Creep was a stand up cat, although maybe a lil much for some sheltered people..Never meant any harm!
Thanks for the low-down and the link. This all just seems like a bunch of silliness to me. Other than disagreeing on whether one of the clues was about Peter, Bjorn and John or Snoop Dogg -- and I still can't believe that it was Snoop -- I haven't really interacted with him any. (Then again, I don't use the most recent posts option -- I just go old school and see if anything new has been posted somewhere interesting since the last time I was on.)
I wonder, with the polling options available to the board, couldn't a sort of trial thread be held with the allegedly offending person being judged by his or her peers? That would take some of the heat off of the mods for being Rootators and allow a forum for expressing the complaints and an offer of defense. Of course a Rootatorship is much more efficient...
I'm sure that nobody defending Creep is even remotely biased in any way whatsoever... so you should probably believe everything they say
The mods and prudes here are such bichez, yo.
But seriously?
Well don't you defend the people you like.
We are biased to Creep. hint. The title of the thread.
I personally don't think what he does is ban worthy.
We all have opinions.
Back to the original point.
I miss you Creep and your funny post!
Yeah, I mean I was just pointing out to the people who aren't a part of the Mingle crew and others who enjoyed Creep that just because people in this thread give a synopsis of what happened that it probably isn't viewed the same way by all members.
I'm personally impartial to the whole deal... I mean, sure what he posted might have been funny, but in the eyes of some it was obscure, indecent and maybe even too perverted for all dem prudez. I certainly don't think any one specific post was worthy of being banned, but after continuous warnings by the mods and even temporary bans, he probably should've known to try and atleast keep it remotely PG-13 for a little while... I guarantee if anybody randomly signed up here on Inforoo and their first post was anything that Creep was warned/banned for that they wouldn't be taken so appreciatively by the community.
Just because somebody develops a specific group of friends on a public message board doesn't mean they should be exempt from the rules. I mean, sure we all joke around and occasionally throw out pointless or irrelevant comments in random places but they still are reasonable to read for people of all ages for the most part.

I like this idea. It seems to me that the mods gave Creep "three strikes & you're out."
When I hear about Creep's three strikes, it sounds as if some of these three strikes might have been a little excessive. I think the mods were too harsh on Creep on at least one count; if even one of those strikes is unjustified, shouldn't that reverse the "three strikes & you're out" approach they took with Creep?
Bottom line is this thread was created for the people who LIKED Creep to write on. If someone was offended they can make their own thread called "Creep offended me" and I guarantee you we would leave their thread alone!! I am trying to respect Kdogg and what he wanted for this thread, and that was not to REHASH things.
^^Sorry I thought that the whole creation of this thread in the first place was just begging for a conversation of opinions on the topic at hand.
This thread wouldn't be littered with discussion of that topic if Danbird hadn't locked "Ignore thread?" before people were satisfied with the explanation that we received (or didn't) from the mod squad in that thread.

Well the fact that a thread titled "Ignore Thread" is even associated with Creep should speak volumes

The "ignore thread" was never made for Creep.
I don't know if you read the first of the ignore thread but it never mentioned Creep.
