I made a thread that anyone who didn't want to participate in simply didn't have to post in. Pretty fucking easy.
You can make a parody thread about beating the shit out of a co-worker after some dipshit poster posted a dumbass thread about being threatened....and that's all fine and dandy...
but you can't make a time killer thread that would have been FUN...and anyone who didn't want to hear my dumbass opinion on them simply didn't have to post in the thread.
oh but you closed it for not wanting "unnecessary" drama. How'd that work out?
I find it amazing that a guy who averages about a post per week the last 3 months still moderates this site.
Remember when DaFace was the only active moderator and the only things that got moderated were the things that needed to be moderated?
Ha. Those were the days.
Now we have Gonzo who locks a thread that was going to be more funny than anything (I had a classic post for Thig Lyfe) because he holds some stupid e-grudge on me because I hurt his wife's feelings sometimes.
Ridiculous. Sometimes people make really stupid decisions on this website. I've literally caused zero problems in forever...way to be a dipshit Gonzo.
You must be having a bad day in your already terrible life I guess. [Reply]

The IP address that Chiefsplanet sees is the public IP address of your Internet firewall, and that address doesn't change. It would be simple for a Chiefsplanet mod to ban that IP address. If you work for a company with thousands of employees you probably don't have to worry, because no mod at Chiefsplanet is going to ban an entire company because one guy is misbehaving. But if you work for a smaller company, you are fooling yourself if you think you are safe from an IP ban.
If Chiefsplanet really wants to ban you, they can ban you.
He did nothing this time, seriously come on. [Reply]

I figured this might be the case...but there are literally 4 free wifi networks with strong signal I can connect to. Right now I'm not even using my hotels wifi. [Reply]

What do you mean, "seriously come on"?
I didn't say anything about whether or not he should be banned. I was just trying to educate him a little about TCP/IP addressing schemes and whether or not he is as "safe" as he thinks he is. [Reply]
I don't think someone's being a "crying bitch" if they are actually the wronged party. Hootie's thread shouldn't have been closed. That's clear. AND closing caused more drama, which was the obvious outcome.
I know there is the argument about different restrictions on posters who have been problematic in the past, but even given that, closing the thread was a weird choice. [Reply]

The same thing applies. If a mod is determined to put an IP ban on you (and he knows his shit), he can put an IP ban on you. He might have to ban multiple IP addresses, and he might have to ban multiple proxy servers, but a determined moderator could ban you and make it stick. [Reply]
