Banned Members

Hello guys!!

Our second member has been banned!  That's not so bad considering we now have 45 people who've signed up.  We like to be clear about what gets you banned.  Tonight, a new subforum was created for mods.  Here's what I wrote in a thread:

Nobody wants to be an asshole, but also, nobody wants to be trampled by strange people.  Worse yet, nobody wants to be trampled by bots.


Our first member was banned for posting 28 threads in his first 6 hours.  That was a no brainer.  We have other members who've joined, and they seem to like to market things.  Mainly, they've marketed sports attire and video game coins.  It seems harmless enough, and we're trying to stay with the "free speech thing" as much as possible.  With that said, nobody (to the best of my knowledge) is selling cocaine.  Nobody (to the best of my knowledge) is trafficking humans for sex or labor.  No child has been sold to a sweat shop.  That would be bad, and that would not be allowable.

Today, we banned our second member.  He was blatantly selling cloned ATM cards.  Like I said, we don't sell cocaine, quaaludes, or heroine.  We stretch the free speech thing much as possible, but we're still grounded in common sense.

The Special Abode was created for members who got wild about posting.  No threads have been deleted yet no matter how much they look like span to the average person.  This subforum here is created for Sheeple Gateway mods.  If something is in poor taste or seems like spam, we put it at the Special Abode.  If something seems fishy in the criminal or illegal category, we are putting it here.  We can have discussions about these threads.  We don't want ordinary members clicking on anything which will take them into a black market Rabbit Hole.

Also, why not have some fun?  Mods can come here and talk about anything!  It doesn't have to center around people or bots who don't behave.  We have a place here we can get away to.  Hopefully, it's fun.  Hopefully, we don't wind up pulling our own hair out.

Tomorrow is the official launch of Sheeple Gateway.  So far, so good.

Our two banned members are:
-- Romdastt ... for posting 28 threads in his first 6 hours
-- dumpstop9 ... for trying to sell cloned ATM cards

We are a fun bunch of people, and we'll have a lot of good times together in the future.  Halloween is tomorrow, and I feel something spooky yet thrilling in the air tonight ...

ps ...  We still haven't deleted anything.  We've posted a copy of dumpstop9's threads here and scrambled the contact information.  We want the public to have an idea of the illegal activity we frown on.  The original threads have been moved to the new Moderators' Lounge so we can discuss the limits of what we're allowing members to post.  For the most part, it's a wide variety of topics.  It's wide enough to span the Universe, as a matter of fact.
