didn't i ban t34b4g already?

they were dancing? Most people thought otherwise...

I don't want to stir up a hornet's nest here, but let's grow up.


The simple fact is that 'common sense' needs to be employed at all times when dealing with a 'public forum' that is essentially owned by 1 person. Through the graciousness of Hammerfel we are all able to congregate and share pictures and stories and 'shoot the sh*t' on a daily basis.
While for the most part we're all 'grown up', we still need to remember that there are rules. And when someone pushes the envelope too far, they have to deal with the consequences.

Yes, its *fun* and lively to get involved in things that should stay private, but its also not cool to fan the flames and bash the people who have been tasked with keeping the peace. Believe me, I know.

While I've got nothing against anyone personally, I do know the people who were less than gracious toward me during my tenure here. And a number of them were people who were being nice to my face while stabbing me in the back. But I didn't hold a grudge against anyone. I let bygones be bygones and when I was asked by 'the powers that be' to come back and reclaim my place as a 'valued, veteran member', I agreed.

I've kept to myself and continued posting the same positive, encouraging posts that I've maintained from the beginning. But seeing this flame war being fanned, I feel the need to put my .03 in.

If people want to cause drama, you can't stop them. But by egging it on, you simply ensure its continuance. Look at what Matt did......when I left, he had opened-and been banned-by over a half dozen SN's. And we all know that most of the 'old guard' have more than one account here on JoeDios (a bonus that is not accepted on nearly every other Joe board)..so while lamenting the 'banning' of the SN gives some 'meat' to the boredom, its not like a different account can't be used (which has already been done in this thread).

I know that its fun to jump on the bandwagon and get into everybody else's business, but when all the facts are not known, it just serves to derail a good site and its members from the purpose of said site. Let the affected parties hash it out via PM's and don't get involved in business that doesn't concern you personally.

The fact that people were complaining (or whatever happened), shows that it was done by some who have taken the 'high road' and gone along the proper channels to inform the staff of whatever questionable actions were going on (I don't know about the picture in question, I had only seen the thumbnail and didn't get a chance to click on it before it was taken down). Irregardless, as some have stated, there is a flickr account, so the shot can (most likely) be viewed there.


So, everybody should just go back to doing what this site is REALLY all about-taking pictures of plastic army men........

'Nuff Said!

Fireflyed
 

I have a feeling Fireflyed will be back at Joe Dios soon. So let's not get all in a twitter. He is a great dio maker and story teller. However, Hammerfell and Sonny want this site to be somewhat pg rated. They have to do that for a number of reasons. No one wants the site banned or closed due to illicit photos. Remember this is a site for children as well. Hammerfell and Sonny have a big respnsibility to navigate the site to see it doesn't alters course. Fireflyed and Awesome Rachel will be back people. Let's not all go crazy

WhaTs so funny to me is the fact that I dropped that shit with Matt weeks ago! I could couldn't careless now. And it was only brought back up again because I was banned for no good reason. It is also just unbelievable that people from here and other sites have been talking about me or whatever while so many other people, including my nemisis, say that they wish I wasn't banned. Craziness! :)

If you and ham jam don't want me to post pictures and junk here, fine, it's absolutely retarded, but whatever. It was a picture or joes standing in front of a restraint with a funny name. There wasn't even a naked baroness custom in the shot.(which do exist, sadly) I just think it's a crazy reason to start so much gay drama. It was my first picture and post in 2 and a half weeks! I'm not exactly stirring the crap here. I'll go, Its no big deal. This was my wife's account(yes she is a real person, a pure ebony queen). I didn't know people had more than one account but whatever I digress. I'll just be using this account to wrap up my current trades and gifts to people. What sucks is I took some awesome shots last night of poc spirit that I won't get to share with people who actually like my stuff.

But the important question, that hasn't been answered is , are my pics gone? Maybe one of the members of the "reinstate the FF" campaign can check for me. I'm at a work and can't check it out.

Graham cracker, I'm at work and this is coming from my phone so if you pms'd me I can't check until I get home this evening.

Be safe
be good
be kind
rep yo hood

and remember, Thursday is ladies night
free drinks for
all the lades

peace



*edit: my photos are save :)

Ipse dixit...
 

Stop this "embargo" (or ban Rachel too! ;) )...bring back Fireflyed: he's one of us.

Its as simple as searching for the photos of a member........you can do it yourself with the account your using to post.

speaking of twitter, if you ever wonder what debauchery LL is getting into or if rasta mon stalker was able to land helix and other Memphis madness. Follow me on Twitter! Name is coryinmemphis

I'm at work and am posting from my phone, going through pages of images messes it up

Why Johnny? Why Johnny? :confused:

Respectfully, I don't like how this sounds. Are you saying people from other sites were complaining so that's why he's banned? Maybe these people just had something against him?

Sonneilon, I don't want to give you a hassle here, from experience I know this type of thing. I think the rules here might be too harsh, I don't think Fireflyed deserved this. His last photo (the reason I assume he's banned) wasn't even anything you wouldn't see driving down the road. Have you watched any PG-13 movies lately? I haven't, but in last year's Transformers film, there was a lot worse than anything Fireflyed has said. I just think you should reconsider.
