I can't say I'm surprised about Erkka. Agreed about his player posts, etc. But it seems that whenever I've dealt with him directly at least, he's been rather belligerent and snide. I doubt Marty has much of a patience for that.

That's correct, however it doesn't warrant a ban to be honest. Just a warning.

While we're in the ballpark, when did a tamp ban for a couple of days become a life-shattering event? Every temp ban these days seems to be met by a thread. Warnings here are highly ineffective, all the more so when the person involved shows little respect for moderation.

I never made any motions to ban him, so I really can't comment on his situation with any kind of authority or inside info. Unlike almost all other posters here, I've always found it odd that he was one of the only ones who would come across as, "Hi. I'm Erkka. You don't know me. And would you get off your fat ass and make my thread sticky, you retard?"

I'm paraphrasing, of course. But that's been largely his approach from my experience. Not exactly the sort of behavior that earns respect from others.

Amen, mikhail. Some people actually ask for temp bans around here as a favor. ;)

In the olden days of the vBulletin2 covered wagon trail, it was either empty threats or pretty much a permanent ban managed by the site owner. With temp bans, I think there's a better chance of allowing cooling off periods and measuring out a way of handling an offense.

Marty's post could be considered a warning,
( a privilege we dont all enjoy )
a wise member ought to get the meaning and avoid the direct threat (shut up or get ur self a ban),
we also might ,missing a clue ( like a pm to Marty? after that or any past incidents )

Erkka might sound a bit of arrogant sometimes
and this particular time was a little offending and provocative
defending the idea he thought would bring justice,
on the the other hand he had no personal issues over someone
and a couple of hours ban would be sufficient to calm his tender
and make him understand that the mods job is a v.difficult one
their decision sould be respected and not openly questioned
every time at any thread ( i think he said, he had in mind to open a thread, to talk about it, with the proper civilased way)
IMO his status by now sould turned back to normal as its serves no purpose to further punish him keeping him away from the comunity he loves...

We want Erkka back, no question. He adds a lot of context and club history.

But then who hasn't done something here that warranted at least a temp ban? ;)

Its a temp ban right? Then who cares. Do not say poor Erkka. No friends. I say poor us. Erkka has 3 days to be productive with his life. To be free of this "soul stealing" forum. Good for him I say. :D
