I Got an Infraction Because... Tell The Rest of Us Why You Got Points So We Can All Learn..

I typically get points for:

hijacking a thread- when I think there is an alterative tact or direction, I USED to post that. But some of the OP's on threads hit the RTM button like they are gonna be playing a slot machine.

I've also defended ppl who were not members on the board, by board members who were trying to paint them as rascists, when I thought they were not. Defending or offending ppl by race is a great way to get points on this forum.

And when it comes to kids, just don't bring up that topic here; It normally is a place where nobody intentionally crosses a line, but the pizza-gate example is one to not jump into.

Oh yeah. I got points for being rude a few times. I really am not trying to be rude in most cases, but I've been pretty direct. In some forums there is a constant drip of calling political names is a one sided affair, and defending yourself was just not worth the point-age that one MOD was dishing out. I'd say it should have been overlooked, but then again there are ppl who bait others here just to create post count, and really offer nothing more than an echo chamber of themselves. After my last vacation from the board, I just stop replying to those who drone on and on. I recommend the same. If I do quote someone now, I try to make it direct reply to the point either I agree with or not, and then not make it veiled or just being an asshole. But then again, I can be a little snarky at times, and it is what it is.

Overall, I appreciate all input, and comments- I just don't take them personally anymore. lol. Originally Posted by eyecu2

Cheap Charlie
Account Disabled


Charlie had the staff disable his account meaning he's free to create a new identity here any time he wants and it's completely within the rules.


speculating on the prior identities of posters can and will get you into hot water with the staff.

Site management has determined that if you're going to say you're banned, well, by golly, you will be banned. And I also drew attention to a post where a member was asking other members to contact him about an illegal activity. This was a lapse of common sense on my part. We all want eccie to stay in business and thrive, and drawing attention to that wasn't a good idea.

Otherwise my points were many moons ago and involved doing something like calling a member crazy.

Gentlemen, we're all united in the pursuit of poontang, and all our political views overlap to some extent. It doesn't make sense to make derogatory comments about fellow board members. Instead criticize the politicians. I believe if we want to call Joe Biden or Donald Trump a mother fucking bastard, we won't get pointed. But don't call another poster something like that. It's just not civil. If you just adopt that philosophy, I bet it will greatly reduce the probability you'll get pointed. Originally Posted by Tiny
