daven banned

[davenbannedjustsayingbye]

just letting everyone know that i've been banned
nobody has bothered to tell me why
fair enough i guess, it ain't a democracy and never pretended to be one

search my posts 'daven' - there are over 5000 of them
decide for yourself

note: this account seems unable to make more than 10 posts - message comes up '10 post limit'

note: when i try to login on my daven account i receive a v-bulletin message that i have been banned. Ask yourselves why i don't have a 'banned' note next to my daven account profile. Maybe nobody wants this one to get controversial? Trust me on this one though, i can't log in as daven. pm mods or admins if you want confirmation, but be careful, you may end up banned too

[boost]

wait, guys, if we ban d0zer, who will be the resident stay at home pothead dad?

You could have at least done that post as a poem:

I've just been banned and I don't know why
Nobody told me, but I won't cry
Perhaps it was for the good of my health?
Search my posts and decide for yourself


...In all seriousness though, can't you just use your d0zer account?

[rong]

If you've been banned, shouldn't it say banned next to your name like Dr Anger?

[rong]

I think a ban is called for for inciting hatred against the establishment.

[BooG690]

Bring iopq back.

[bode]

i always liked dozer. sad to see him go.

[oskar]

Could some mod pls just come in here and explain this and not let us wait until page 10 of this thread until we get a response. kthx

[bigred]

I'm just here for eye candy, I don't know what's going on!

[chardrian]

I rarely, if ever, get pms.

[philly and the phanatics]

why was daven banned? he's the man....free daven IMO

[philly and the phanatics]

srsly.

[kickass]

sad face. always liked daven. it'll be a bit shitter without him.

[bikes]

Daven you were banned for conduct detrimental to FTR as you were informed when you tried to log in again. I'm sorry you disagree with the reasoning given but to say there was no reason given is simply wrong.

My pm box is always open to anyone who has questions or concerns.

[oskar]

And what was that detrimental conduct you are speaking of?

[OngBonga]

Has he fucked a mod's wife or something?

Sad to see you go Daven, thanks for all the threads you've started, they've helped me on numerous occasions.

[a500lbgorilla]

And what was that detrimental conduct you are speaking of?

He called me chubby.

[a500lbgorilla]

Also, I love that fine lady in your av, bikes.

[Imthenewfish]

how was posting a thread about discussing hands in irc bad and why did the thread get removed

[Galapogos]

What? He wasn't banned for real though right? There's no banned by his name if you look at his posts.

[bikes]

Also, I love that fine lady in your av, bikes.

i'm in love with her tbh

[BankItDrew]

Was it his third strike?

[lolzzz_321]

I freed him!

[Penneywize]

banning daven? ffs

[Galapogos]

Reban him! We need a good cause to get behind!

[oskar]

What is it with ftr and all the secrecy?
Or is it because this was once again a vigilante mod removing someone for personal reasons, and now you're trying to come up with a story to save face. How could it take so long to respond.

[lolzzz_321]

What do you wanna know? I has the IRLs to tend to. I'd say 24 hr turn around is pretty good.

Ban discussion is on an ad hoc basis and he, or anyone else with 5k posts, certainly should not have been banned w/ out some discussion!

[kiwiMark]

how many posts does bigred have

[Sasquach991]

He's being banned for posting too many hands in the BC?

Guess that's being detrimental to FTR.

At least somebody is doing something in the BC.

Probably for asking questions about the questionaire and security. Better beat his ass with a rope for that one...Looks like that's 3 immediate strikes.

[lolzzz_321]

[rong]

Heart smiley thingy

[baudib]

I don't get this at all. Surely Daven was one of the more productive/helpful members? At any rate would like an explanation to at least know how to avoid the same fate.

[Galapogos]

Don't participate in conduct detrimental to FTR obv.

[lolzzz_321]

refrain from banging my wife

but srsly, the mods are taking steps to ensure bans of established accounts, which rarely happen, are thoroughly discussed before the ban hammer is brought down

[lolzzz_321]

obv

[rong]

So is he actually banned or not?

[Keith]

i don't understand why he was banned in the first place. Bikes introduces a questionaire for someone to select members for a study group while Daven ( guessing sivce i didn't see the post only the reference to it in his blog) seems to have proposed an open study group on irc and gets banned.

Can we no longer organize sweat/study sessions on the forum or does it all have to go through mods and admins now?

[gingerwizard]

Sounds like he's unbanned. From a selfish poker point of view I hope so. He is one of the most active members in terms of posting hands and commenting on them. The BC has been picking up recently. Daven going would be a pretty big blow.

[rong]

Other things to consider here. If we let him back, this protest may give him an unbearably giant ego. Can we handle another Bigred?

[baudib]

Sure, I don't doubt that at all. But you did say

What do you wanna know?

so I thought I'd ask. I don't really want to carry on about this issue because FTR can do whatever it wants.

[BooG690]

I can confirm that d0zer is, in fact, not banned.

[baudib]

d0zer and daven are the same person? I don't get it.

[bigred]

how many posts does bigred have

too many!

[Luco]

So does D0zer know he's no longer banned?

[OngBonga]

So does D0zer know he's no longer banned?

daven... dozer... I'm getting confused now.

Please, Luco, never change your av.

[Luco]

it's a running ftr joke that the two names are interchangeable:

http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...en-174939.html

[supa]

It's a lie. They're the same person, just one of him is banned. I think it's d0zer but I can't remember.

[eugmac]

Clearly it's unfair to allow one guy to have two accounts in blatant violation of FTR rules, so I understand the ban completely.

[OngBonga]

supa = daven, don't listen to him, he's just trying to confuse us further.

[bigred]

Ongbonga is actually a Korean spy!

[eugmac]

North Korean?

[BennyLaRue]

West Korea shout out. You never hear about those guys.

[a500lbgorilla]

supa = daven, don't listen to him, he's just trying to confuse us further.

Well, this is all I need to hear. I've banned supa. I trust that this shall resolve the whole debacle to everyone's mutual satisfaction.

{locked}

[lolzzz_321]

In turn, I have banned 'rilla. Turns out he is a marsupial.

[boost]

Ongbonga is actually a Korean spy!

the starcraft kind, or the great leader kind?

[supa]

Well, this is all I need to hear. I've banned supa. I trust that this shall resolve the whole debacle to everyone's mutual satisfaction.

{locked}

Can I come back just to play WW?

[bigred]

the starcraft kind, or the great leader kind?

This kind

[OngBonga]

That's definitely not me cooking that dog because there's carrots, onions and some green shit that looks like leek. The bottle on the shelf on the right, that looks like the kind of crap I eat. Dog burger and Chilli Sauce, mmmmm.

[flomo]

bye

[bigred]

Daven, come play werewolf and try to lynch some mods.

Flomo, come play werewolf and probably lose the game for your team

[flomo]

Ill play if I don't have to read the thread and can be eliminated early.

Drunjk posting mandatory.

[JKDS]

GUYS FLOMO IS A WOLFWUGGY

[Sasquach991]

Daven gets banned and dranger gets his name back.

The universe is very unstable at this moment

[!Luck]

There is no spoon

[Luco]

There is no spoon

That would explain it

[OngBonga]

The pros of black friday huh?

[oskar]

Three days, really?

Let's make this easier for you. Bikes, show me on the doll where he touched you.

[bikes]

Oskar. I didn't ban him and there is still ongoing discussion which I told you in the PM which you so rudely replied to.

If that's just how it is and no other mod is going to step in, this is not someting I can accept on an open forum.
I know I haven't been really active in quite a while, so this won't be a big loss, but I'm going to have to say goodbye.
I'll still be in IRC in case I don't get banned from there. It's too bad because I think the community is great, but this is simply unacceptable.

Really all I can say is cool story bro. If you bothered to read any of easy_pokers posts or his new alias huey freeman you'd see that all he does is antagonize and troll other forum members. But what can I say if you're looking for an excuse to leave I won't stop you.

[oskar]

That ongoing discussion should have happened before, not now. This is being handled extremely poorly, and I don't expect anything to come out of this.

[rong]

Did we just trade daven for Oscar?

[eugmac]

What a terrible trade.

[rong]

Oh come on, it's not that bad.




Just kidding Oscar.

[kickass]

oskar sacrificing himself for daven. I thought romance was dead
