jamest suspended from ratskep for 6 months

[jamest]

That's what I thought for a minute, but that forum's server seems to be in Germany, which is GMT +1. If so, James should have been readmitted an hour earlier than notified.

Let's face it, I should have been readmitted 6 months earlier than notified.

It might depend on who actually did the banning and which timezone they were in. And then there's daylight saving...

Or it might just be a cache thing...*

Yes!

If only because we would have been spared your hectoring expositions of your metaphysics.

Anyone who stirs you is somebody worth knowing.

Nobody worth knowing in this forum then.

You're joking, right?

If not, re-read my post in context. Here it is:

We should open the betting as to how long you'll last before the next banning!

I suggest modelling the probability using a Poisson distribution based on the average length of time between "cunts" in his posts!

Can you express that as an equation for us?

B ~ Po(c)

P(B = b) = e-c cb / b!

Where:

B is the distribution of possible banning days,
b represents being banned on a particular day,
c = average time between cunts,
Po(c) is a Poisson distribution of cunts and
P(B = b) is the probability that a banning occurs on a particular day.

Poisson distribution by frequency of mentions of pudenda?

This is both fishy and smelly

I have no idea where to post this thread, so feel free to move it to any relevant sub-forum. Since I'm generally associated with philosophy, I've posted it here.

I've been suspended from ratskep for 6 months for having a sock-puppet. My sock-puppet was 'madnomad'. It was created in the early summer of 2013, nearly two years ago. Until the last weekend, madnomad had never made a post. He was created for no other purpose than to READ the subforums inaccessible to non-members (during the fairly frequent suspensions I've had). Then I did a stupid thing. I won't bore you all with the details, but I banned myself the previous week pending an overview of my philosophy for interested members there (who had requested it). That meant voluntarily turning off my automatic log-in for jamest. However, I was still interested in reading the forum, so logged-in as 'madnomad'.

I was stupid enough, for a sufficient time at least, to forget that I did all of this. Several days later, I decided to produce an overview of my philosophy but forgot that I was now automatically logged in as 'madnomad': post 211, page 11, of the thread "Jamest: explain your philosophy/metaphysics" (philosophy forum - ratskep)*

The bottom line is that I was posting as jamest, but fucked-up (I forgot to log in as jamest). I just want someone from here to make clear to the members over there that I was never a sock-puppet in the dodgiest sense of being one. That is, I never gave thumbs-ups to myself (jamest) nor EVER posted anything other than the aforementioned mistaken post. Yes, I created a duplicate account, but I'm not a dick. Being a theist doesn't automatically qualify you as being a dick.

If there's a 'legal' way of a member here conveying this message to the members of ratskep, I'd be very grateful.

I also anticipate getting a fair amount of grief from creating this thread, but fuck it. I'll survive.

That forum has unfair moderators. They "warn" people based on political opinion, and they are somewhat similar to A+, although not to the same ridiculous degree, in that if you post there and express unpopular views, there is a posse of members who hound and dogpile for the purpose of provoking a reaction and getting those they don't like banned from the site.

The moderators will "warn" some people but not others for the same conduct. Any mild "insult" will result in a warning if you're not in the "in" crowd, but incessant harassment and trolling against those who are not in the "in" crowd is allowed. It's just justified as not being attacks on the person, but rather attacks on posting style or habits.

Basically, they won't change and if you want to post there and say anything other than the mainline progressive viewpoint on topics, you are going to be constantly called a troll and told you don't read the thread or haven't listened to what they've told you. They will dogpile, and you pretty much just have to accept it. The moderators will not help and will not do anything to stop it.

They can't be as unfair as XC.
