jcjim learns about moderators and forum etiquette

[mvmac]

I see he is banned now.  Did he come out of the penalty box swinging or what?

He started a "Ok now I'll come clean" thread revealing his true intentions for trolling the site.

Oh man, how did I miss that.  Well, takes care of that troll I guess.

What were his true intentions?  Beyond being a stupid a$$

[Gator Hazard]

In light of these recent findings of jcjim's inner troll, I would like to retract my apology about not being able to take him more seriously if he were wearing clown shoes.  Evidently that was a correct assessment.

World domination by 1st becoming the POTUS.

Being an a$$hole on purpose to see what kind of reaction he'd get from other members and moderators. Said it's for an article he's writing on forums.

I think it's BS and he's making it up. Like his attempt to "out" us for the copyright stuff after someone posted a study to prove he's wrong in the tax thread.

Well then we should get some positive feedback given the restraint we demonstrated while he was being a complete tool.

I KNEW that was the Donald writing that stuff!!

Mods may want to check out this HonestyPolicy dude in the cheating thread. Sounds an awful lot like jcjim and appears to have shown up close to when jcjim was banned.

He said we were one of the most "penile" forums.

I wish he would leave my penile out of this.

[Sante TwoGloves]

i'd like to read that article when its done.

I'll just add that if you've ever read many of the threads on non-golf topics, particularly religion and politics, Erik and Mike and the moderators have a very liberal definition of civil.  You can frankly say some stuff that would very likely not be considered civil in person, but as long as it's loosely interpretable as making an argument or (re)stating an opinion and doesn't contain any bald name-calling, it'll slide.

So if civil has too wobbly a definition for you, try just refraining from name-calling.  You'll probably be fine, moderation wise at least...

Did he mean "puerile" or "penal"?

Maybe he should be in the penile box for being puerile.

We rarely even read the OT threads, actually. ;-)

Haha, he might not see it that way.

Yeah guys, he actually said "outwardly penile"

try just refraining from name-calling.

That's basically all we ask, debate is fine and even encouraged), just don't get into personal attacks or troll the site.

That explains things. :)

The mods do though. Erik and Mike are pretty busy with other stuff.
