wiff? 

Post#1 » by Ex-hippie » Sun Feb 3, 2008 6:20 pm

In the "Observation from last night's game" thread I noticed this:

wiff
Suspended

I haven't been hanging out much lately... what's going on here?

i had not noticed that. what the hell?

edit: i looked over his last few posts, and the only thing i can see is that he kind of got into it with a guy on the trade board a little. nothing major. but what i did notice is that moocow steped in at the end. i think that guy has a pretty quick trigger finger. maybe wiff was sending him pm's? i know moocow suspended me once after a dissagreement that i challenged him on via a pm. he suspended me for trolling the knicks board. at that time i had never been to the knicks board! i suspect he suspended me because he didn't like the fact that i had a view that was different than his and i stood up for myself. i think he sometimes likes to throw his weight around. a couple of times since then he has poped up and had a few words for me, so i usually just stay clear of him.

just a theory.

Wiff suspended? That's nuts.

If it's true, from now on we should all praise him as a counter culture hero!

That's sweet. Wiff officially has some street cred now.

Aw Wiff, we will miss you. I have sort of labeled him our resident comic with all the odd pictures he includes in his posts that seem to almost always tie into the point he's trying to make.

Wish you a quick return!

Actually this is the second time Wiff has been suspended. One of the mods said he was trolling.

^^^^^^^^^^

was it moocow? you dont have to answer that. just wondering.

i think sometimes wiffs directness and sense of humor is missunderstood as hostility or agression.

i hope he is back soon.

Oh Wiff, you're flying a little too close to the sun...

He'll be free soon enough.

I think it's more often viewed as perhaps taunting and a little over the line, and his knack for posting questionable photos probably doesn't win him friends. On here, everyone knows him and no one really cares. But when he goes onto a board where people don't know him...well, it doesn't work out so hot.

I used to mod the trade board (with moocow), so I know what it's like...too many fans from too many groups and it doesn't take long for someone to post something that causes everything to spiral out of control, so they have to run a tight ship over there.

wiff shouldn't be using you as a conduit for lodging open complaints. I'd advise he cool off while he's on vacation, and if he wants to talk with whomever he has an issue with afterwards he can probably do so then. Let's just say you can't expect good results from openly calling out global mods...

I'm going to lock this now because I really don't want anyone else getting warned for something needless and more people getting in trouble. I don't know what wiff did, but whatever it was it's done and I don't want to see anyone else go down in flames with him.
