I see your point, but I haven't seen him do anything good on this site either. (please, correct me if I'm wrong.)

That's not enough to warrant a ban.

Smeagol, Ahnt and I discussed this issue with History500. We decided to ban him on BF for being banned here. It's kind of like companies sharing black lists. His behavior here showed who he was - someone who we did not want to be a moderator at BF. I would think that the same thing would be true for Aled. His huge history of hacking and defacing BF (And other sites, no?) should probably warn you. Add that to his admission that he is obsessed with this site, and I don't think that's someone you want hanging around.

I, like, totally think that we should have a wider choice of moderators for people to complain about.

Re: I'm sick of it!

Why doesn't everyone put some thought into their threads and posts before pushing submit? Then everyone will be happy. The mods won't have to lock threads, and you won't have to complain about it. mini/smile

Problem is, he hasn't (to my knowledge) done anything particularly wrong on this site yet.  I'm not sure how to justify banning him here for vandalizing BF.

Doesn't asking to be banned for two years count as something to ban him for? Not that he has a particularly firm grasp on the whole concept in the first place. I don't think banning him is going to make much difference anyway, as it never stopped him coming back to BF.

This is all off topic though - it looks like Tom is the only one who's actually bothered about the locking of useless threads. There's already a precedent for people creating breakaway brickfilming forums, so there's nothing stopping him from creating his own utopian paradise somewhere else. I suggest registering "ilovebricksinmotioning.com", Tom.

Re: I'm sick of it!

I don't mind threads being locked so much, it's just I hate when mods don't tell us why they lock it and just go "Locked."

Re: I'm sick of it!

I agree with the threads that have been locked so far. I don't think NightOwl has been over the top.
I also agree that we would be better off with Aled gone.  He has caused trouble for us by hacking BF, because he is a member here and his actions reflect badly on us and could have caused us problems on this site.
He also phished the password of one of the members here (I forget who) and impersonated them on our IRC channel. So he has caused problems for this site as well. He just stirs up trouble and is disruptive. He asked to be banned and did all this 'I'm so sorry' bit, but was back within in 2 weeks with a new account. Using IP Masking programs so he can't be banned by either username or IP, he'll just keep coming back and back.
He's been snooping around on the net trying to find out about me, and wanted me to add him as a friend on my Facebook page - like that was going to happen !!!
Basically he is a pain in the backside and until such time as he will actually be constructive and contribute to this community instead of sowing the seeds of discontent etc all the time, we'd be better off without him.
But how you will ban him I do not know, because he uses the IP masking software, which gives him a new ID whenever he wants.

Re: I'm sick of it!

The strange thing about Aled is he keeps returning under a new alias and admitting who he is. It's sort of ridiculous.

Aled, I'm giving you a chance to be as innocent as you claim you are. If anything goes wrong, you're banned.

Re: I'm sick of it!

Fair play NightOwl.

This thread is about Night Owl locking threads, not about banning me on this site for doing "nothing". I do plan on making a Brickfilm sometime in the future, futhermore I don't see Steve Collins or Old Ore making any films recently, they're not banned are they? Or have I done something wrong I don't know about.

-Weasley

Yeah, I gave up on brickfilming, so did An Old Ore.

But I agree with Aled. This shouldn't be a thread about "Let's ban Aled", we should give him a chance before he does something wrong if he does at all.

I wonder why the "Woman Puts Credit Cards in Her Wii"was locked.

Re: I'm sick of it!

Thats whats driving me insane.

I understand the need for loocking threads, like if flame wars start, if people go completely offtopic, or it gets spammed up, but these are ones which have no justified reason of being locked:

http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … n-her-wii/ - Why?
http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … ot-or-not/ - Poor Matt. All he wanted to do was start a contest thing. There was no hint of Bullying whatsoever.
http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … that-here/ - Why?
http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … e-you-die/ -WHY!?
http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … -ever-saw/ - Just because "The Hands of Fate" see it pointless, does not mean anyone else thinks so.
http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … tory-game/ - Ditto
http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/to … -ringtone/ - I'm seeing a pattern here...

This is just on the community forums. There is probally a few more elsewhere.

The fact is that this place is becomming more strict than Brickfilms.com. If you deprive us of our fun, then I'm out.

Re: I'm sick of it!

You announced your intentions and were asked in a nice way not to do it. But you did what you wanted to anyway.
I suggested in the other thread to take a break and reflect on what happened. But you refused to do so.
In all fairness Aled, I'm only trying to help you. And from my viewpoint, it's a rather frustrating one.
Yes, you haven't truly done anything 'wrong' here on BiM. Just take Night Owl's warning seriously, okay?

(Also, I did not know that you requested the ban on yourself.)

It was getting spammed up. The topic had run its course.

Re: I'm sick of it!

Heh, I don't mind Aled around here. But if you guys feel uncomfortable around him I don't want him to stay. IMO, If you want to ban aled give him a shorter ban of a month. Then he could come back for a month then be banned for a month and so on and so fourth. As then he can learn his lesson ? I've only been around here for a year and a bit so I've probably missed quite a lot of Aled's damage and how many chances you have given him. I think he's just going to keep coming back if you keep giving him a ban of 1-2 years. Just an idea.

Re: I'm sick of it!

Sure Aled has done some bad things but there is so much drama surrounding him. He's been taken out of proportion. He really is a nice guy and I do mean that most sincerely.

That sums up my opinion on most of the locked threads. I know some of them actually deserved to be locked, but most of them didn't.

And I think Aled did something he didn't think through, knows it was wrong, and is sorry for it. It was stupid, I'll give you that, but give him a break, seriously.

Re: I'm sick of it!

I feel very happy with Aled staying here. He has done nothing wrong here yet. Just let him be a positive part of our community...

Re: I'm sick of it!

Locking my thread was just first class stupidity. I was willing to take the "Not" out of the title if people didn't like the idea of show casing the poorer films. This community won't improve unless you let things improve. Don't just lock a thread because you believe it has no chance, let it have a chance!! We could have easily sorted any problems but you just had to put your fat head in cause all this. Well done sir.

Re: I'm sick of it!

I don't get why the Wii-Credt Card thread was locked, the thread would have died by itself in the next 2/3 days.
