Phil O'Keefe Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm rarely debating Phil's decisions, but IMO the hammer came down a little fast on this one. I don't reeally think anyone would be offended by that.OK, I'll explain my reasoning. First of all, someone did get offended - actually, I heard from four different people regarding that post, so it wasn't just one person.Normally that would result in at least a week temp ban, but in Robo's defense, it was a rather "unusual" variation on the term, and many people probably wouldn't consider it as being intended as a slur. OTOH, the implied meaning seemed clear enough to cause more than one person to report it as a N-word variant. Due to the fact that it wasn't as blatant as some variations on the word, I went easy on the temp ban. My advice to one and all would be to avoid using any terms or words - even made up words and terms - that could be construed as being variations on words that will get you banned.

Members Crxsh Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 Yeah.... generally speaking, I can't stand Robo and his trollish bull{censored}. Every now and again though, he comes up with a real gem of a post and redeems himself a little bit. Those are few and far between though. Maybe I just take him too seriously.

Members IvIark Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 Maybe I just take him too seriously. That could be it - although to be fair he does have a dig at you a bit too much so it's understandable for you to see it differently. I always take him with a pinch of salt and don't get aggravated. He also has a nice habit of popping up occasionally and saying something that 95% of people in a thread wanted to say but couldn't be bothered with the argument, and I like people who call a spade a spade.

Members phishmarisol Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 hilarious Can anyone PM the word variation that robo used? Its uniqueness has my interest piqued. Um, I didn't see it but my guess it that you could just look up the lyrics to any Snoop Dogg song recorded in the past 5 years and see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Philly Fuzz Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 Robo does make me laugh. I don't find him to be a troll... obnoxious, sure! But not a troll. His avatar is three shades of brilliant! But, more importantly, I haven't heard anyone complain about "tone" suckage with the Skreddy Echo. Every clip I've heard sounds amazing (yes, I have one on order!). That said, I haven't liked how certain delay pedals effected my guitar signal. The EQ Disaster Transport for one; did not like. I thought the Freakshow Digilog sounded very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
