Addressing TOS violations?

Addressing TOS violations? I hope so!

Perhaps it is finally time that we should!

As was previously noted:

I am unsure what caused it, possibly the downtime of the FT server, but this has become crazy!

Firstly, while some may not like Doc's many posts and smilies they are not required reading and can easily be skipped.

NJDavid has continued his thrashing of Doc and has violated the FT TOS with this text:

However, between doing that, he is a sniveling little man with a mean streak that far exceeds his size, and has caused unnecessary pain to one too many on this forum.

The thread the text lies within is IMO in very poor taste and not in the spirit of FT.

It is located here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum...ML/004327.html

I mean this with no bias. I don't appreciate the incredible lack of respect for another FT'er.

...and...

While I have never met essxjay I have always enjoyed her posts and was glad when she became a moderator.

However, her snapfest on Doc today was quite extreme IMO and a clear violation of FT TOS:

doc = the ultimate troll.

Knock it off, doc! FT'ers have access to newspapers, offline as well as online. We don't need you to republish info from other sources.

You are an unbelievable jerk!


The post is in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum...ML/004374.html

No, I am not the some FT TOS enforcer, I just don't like seeing good people get slandered on FT.

Maybe essxjay doesn't want to be a moderator any more? Dunno?

Now we now have unfortunately had two fora removed from the FT Miles board.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/006510.html

Yet the "problems" persist - even on a supposedly "closed" section of the board!

I am sorry you don't see the difference between "a food fight in Randy's house", and someone breaking down his door and holding a kangaroo court in his living room hoping to gain credibility by standing in the light of his living room lamps - and doing it specifically and exclusively to inflict pain and damage in public (as opposed to sending an e-mail to log a legit complaint.)

I'm sorry you don't see the difference between someone willfully deciding to do that in his home, and someone only wishing to balance the testimony.

And I'm sorry that the forum was pulled (punising the whole community) instead of giving suspensions to just those involved. I would have proudly served that time out if I knew it accomplished removing the other offenders as well.

I guess Randy felt he was faced with a Solomon-like decision, and chose to go after the baby. His choices were much more clear cut from the receiving end of the attacks, I assure you.

When is enough, enough already?

What should be done about this "stuff"?

IMHO, it IS surely now well past the time to do something!

So as they say in the oft repeated and sometimes even repulsive NIKE ads, "Just do it!"

Just a suggestion!

LETS ALL PLEASE collectively work to keep FT the great place that it has been!
