Maybe Skully's in hiding till this whole ownership thing shakes out. From the sound of it not much will change so I'm guessing he'll be back.

I have PM'd skully to ask him why he has been systematically deleting his posts and threads. It reduces the post-count for many people.

If I know Skully, after seeing his avatar, title and sig deleted, I think its highly unlikely that he will even log in to check pm's. I hope I'm wrong.

Hey sanjay ....

You need to edit and warn the member with zero posts referenced in Monkey Hanger's post.

Probably a membership delete would be appropriate. Three years of membership and no posts and violating the Forum Rules.

He is probably a member of one of the other forums that ABX is now networked to.

He is in violation of a couple rules:
Quote:
# Swearing, obscenity, vulgar expressions are not permitted.
# No nudity, sexually explicit images, or similar images or discussions will be posted nor will links to sites containing them.
Where are the mods?

It should be noted, traveler, that the forum he registered in may not have those rules and that he may only be a member here due to the recent merger of ABXzone's user tables to those of sanjay's other forums.

I do agree with you, though. It is in poor taste and the vulgar content should be removed from his profile.

The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

I would remove that language from the user's profile but my rights to change that type of stuff is gone. Looks like only administrators can edit the user's profile. So I guess the question that someone else posted "Where are the mods?" should be replaced with "Where are the Admins?" Mods can only do the following in the user's profile: ban, change sig, change avatar, and change profile picture. My apologies for not being of much help on this issue.

1) Send him a message. 2) If he fails to respond then 3) ban and remove him for breaking the rules of ABX. You just said you could ban rule violators.

Perhaps other places permit rampant disrespectful language and behavior. ABX does not and never did.

He's already banned. However banning does not remove the information on the user. As far as I can tell, I currently don't have permissions to remove a user account.

I am going to have Matty come up with a fix where mods here can make a users profile invisible on ABX (profile ban) if they are in violation.

In the meantime please focus on any posts or threads that violate the language rules here. Not, the profiles.

We are going to learn about each other through this process and I am still not sure about the severity of language rules here. When I am ****** off about an issue I want to comfortably say that it makes me '*****1ng angry'. I don't believe in swearing in thread titles and I am adamantly against swearing towards a member, but as a matter of speech- I am not so sure.

There may be those of you who are religious and perhaps that is why any profanity bothers you. I promise to learn and observe fo rnow.
