tjc transport Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 well he did not get cut, so the reason for his disappearance is on him. i can not see last time logged on. he is still listed as a moderator, so his account is still active. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Bullheaded Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Ya, hopefully he is just busy with something positive in his life. The news thread isn't the same without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I sent him a PM and then an email- no response. Hopefully he is out of the country on some sort of work opportunity. But agree, his perspective always brings something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Red Horse Posted October 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2020 Guys, Heard from Kevin. As suspected he has been involved in a couple of projects that have him out straight. Got the feeling he was in one of those situations where it is feast or famine. Hopefully we will get some of his observations on the bigger global picture soon. And with the Traton/Navistar news that may involve the US more than some of us would like-or maybe I should say-more than I would like. Hate to see another IUS Icon lose its identity. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 there was a retired teamster know it all here. she was banned, and came back under another name .got banned again and came back again. and got banned again. some people feel that certain moderators un ban her. but it is not true. 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

KDog Trucking Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 And a group of members butt heads with administration and certain moderator about her being back again. Administration won the argument, Barry banned her and all them. TJC knows who, but I think JHancock, David Wild, Heavy Gunner, Mack Technician, Dutch Digger and TS7 all got axed. Maybe a few more?

tjc transport Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 they were looking to get banned. simply would not obey the rules.

Then how did it happen? When real websites ban someone, they ban the username AND the IP Address of the offender, then they CAN'T come back. Simply banning the username is a waste of time. If the screening process for new members is any good, it will identify those trying to get back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 if i were to ban someone by IP address, than i would also ban everyone with the same IP address. very rarely do i ban an ip address, unless it is pakastan, or india, or someplace where those address has absolutely nothing to do with the site content, or used by spammers.. as an example: on another site, there is a VPN address that comes back to a small island in an indian reservation in the midwest. for some reason, it is very popular with the euro spammers. i was getting between 75 and 100 join requests per day from that address. it is now a banned address. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

And in his world, he has to take advantage of opportunities when they come up. For sure I too miss his knowledge as it pertains to the global truck scene and with the end of Navistar as we know it right around the corner, that view will be that much more important. The BMT info Bot gives us good info but it is more or less press release info . Good stuff too that complements the views offered by KSC. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. I can belive if ban put on a person there was some strong reason to do so. But banning a whole lot of long time and active members with multy thousand of posts and multi thousand likes seems as a go over a really sharp corner. Also some forums have a Ban List thread where every banned person is announced with a reason and a term of ban. And this last point is also the last point in my post since I think a member shouldn't be banned forever in a case such an action applied to him for the first time. We are all people and individuals have a tendency to cool off and figure the matters better. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 they chose to be banned. we did not do it willy nilly. they were asked to abide by the VERY FEW AND SIMPLE site rules. and flat out refused to. what else could be done? look at it this way.... if i were to come to your house and pee in the corner of the back yard. you ask me not to do it ever again..............then i go inside and pee in the corner of the living room.... will you ever allow me back over? 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Andy Was told it’s the multiple bans and returns that lit it off. She was being hounded by them. She was also irritating the banned members and KS was decent to her. When he became moderator the membership resented KS for giving her respect instead of the boot. Then accused him of harboring a banned fugitive. Too bad it did get ugly as like TJC points out. Something had to intervene. 2 hours ago, Vladislav said: a term of ban. And this last point is also the last point in my post since I think a member shouldn't be banned forever What do the sites do? A ban term? jail sentence instead of a coffin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
