Default What happened to JeffreyWKramer?

What's left of him has BANNED under his name.
He's not listed in the member's listing anywhere.

I followed his posts and can't figure what he did but I'm a little 'noid now. If he can get the axe...anyone can!

Please let me know if this is one of those things we're not supposed to discuss.
My apologies.

Hmmm, interesting. I'm ashamed to say that I honestly hadn't noticed until now.
His disappearance seemed to coincide with the removal of the "sex tricks" thread. Maybe the mods thought he got a bit too sexually graphic one too many times.

Very strange that he just disappeared.

Didn't he have like over 10,000 posts to his name? Seems like a CBR record.

He got a one-week ban last Friday. I don't know why.

He does however, so we'll leave it at that. It's a temporary ban only.

I'm not questioning the decision but I'm glad the ban is only temporary.

Strange. I noticed at one point that Converge had the "BANNED" tag under his name, yet was still posting. I had just assumed that JWK had done the same for some reason.

Personally, I have a problem with CBR's policy of banning users (even if only temporarily) and then deleting the posts that got them banned.

By deleting the offending posts, it makes it harder for an observer to figure out what is considered inappropriate behavior.

I'd like to know why JWK (for example) was banned, so I can avoid doing the same.

Edit the posts, to remove the really offensive content, and include comments from a mod stating the post is inappropriate, but don't just sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn't happen.

It's possible to put "BANNED" under your own name but I think you'll get in trouble if they catch you.

It's clearly laid out for you.

We know the rules Tom, but maybe like have a thread for stating that so and so user was banned, here is the reason why without needing to go into re-posting whole threads, obscenities or inappropriate posts.

It lets us know if someone who we chat with regularly gets banned and we aren't left wondering why. Anyway it's just a suggestion, hope it helps!

Similarly, different Moderators will have various degrees of what they’re prepared to put up with in regard to what is posted on their boards as well as what actions they take to keep their boards running smoothly.
So, each board has it's own definition of what exactly is and isn't appropriate.

And the only way to find out exactly where that line is, is by crossing it.

No, most boards have their own sets of rules posted at the top of the board.
