If a mod is going to get riled up because someone reported them/another mod for "Britishness", then they have absolutely no business in the position.
It was a poor ass joke, people. You really think that anybody would legitimately report somebody for "Britishness"?

We're not as uneducated as you think, but Gnarly is seriously that asinine. He's trying to get a reaction out of Matteomax because he enjoys being an ass to him. He clearly hates Matteomax, and other 'meanies' as he puts it, but reporting people for no reason, such as 'britishness' is not exactly a joke, and more of a call for attention, which he most certainly got, at a price.
Iunno, am I making sense? I'm half asleep.

You're making sense, but I don't agree. I don't feel as though suspending a user (even for a day) is a good reaction to somebody who hates a mod or makes silly reports with obviously fake reasons. It's perfectly possible to take away the kid's report abilities (at least Dark is able to). Suspension is too far. |

When the rules are broken on a repeated or severe basis. Several suspensions I've seen in the past were well earned for this reason. Get multiple suspensions over time and eventually a ban could be in consideration.
But suspending someone simply because they don't like a mod and made silly reports (which we can't even confirm if they were actually sent in or not) appears more like an abuse of power than anything. If it's possible to remove his ability to report (and the rules claim that it is), then a suspension isn't necessary. Think about it: A user was potentially suspended because he doesn't like an authority figure on the site. Doesn't that sound a little..........totalitarian to you? |

i agree with you CAV
what if gnarly didn't even report him? and if he did, what harm can reporting someone for "britishness" do? sometimes i think the hunters are kind of too sensitive and just do their own thing :x EDIT: i was ninja'd oop |

![]() It was indeed a real report. Not to mention that he spammed it 3 times. He's immature and hasn't learned a single lesson from his past suspensions. I wouldn't be surprised if he gives out his full password, email, name, and address again. I've closed almost every single topic he has made in the Skylanders section because his posts either don't make any sense, is a clone of an existing topic, or is completely off topic. Gnarly has made rude/racist comments about the British in the past, most of which have been deleted. He didn't need to make a topic on how he reported me for no reason, he just chose to make one out of spite.

Yeah it does. But I believe there's a small chance that Gnarly could have been doing this a while and all trolling could have gotten him the gnorc, but then again possibly not good enough for even 1 hour gnorc. Edit: And Gnarly was blocking users after posting in their GB "blocked" for after a user was saying their thoughts on his childish acts. Which could have been another possible factor in this, but not entirely sure.

I actually kind of assumed he would have spammed reports, I didn't think just sending a single report would result in a ban...It's nice to have some light shed on the subject, thanks Matteo~

Just how often are these xenophobic comments posted? And as he has only just come back, there's no real way to tell if he'd post his info again. How long is the suspension, pray tell? And, as I said above, spammed reports result in losing the report feature. Not a suspension. |

The rude "British" comments have only happened a few times, most of which have been flagged as "Racism/Hate speech." I just hope that he doesn't give personal info out again. The suspension was for 12 hours. It can be changed and cancelled at any time by Dark. From 15:48 21/07/2014 to 03:48 22/07/2014. Yes, I will bring that up with Dark.

Honestly I don't think he needs to be a member of this site at all, or at least stay in the Skylanders section. Really not trying to sound mean here, but he's too immature, which is understandable considering his age. Most of us in the S&N section are in our teens and early twenties, and he says and does things that are unsuitable and irrelevant, and I think pretty much everyone who responds to his posts treats him like a joke. He has no Internet safety awareness whatsoever, and one of these days he's going to get something a lot worse than a Gnorc'd or a hacked account. Until he learns some Internet smarts he really doesn't need to be on the Internet at all. Of course, there's nothing we can really do about it, but hey, that's just my opinion.

The fact that he is 12 years old and has the mentality of a toddler make me believe that a mental disorder comes to play.
For this reason, like Avatari said, I don't think he should be here at all. Safety reasons and stupidity reasons. |
