Warnings and Site Ban Theater

[AaronOfMpls]

Someone got hit by two different banhammers -- @BellCube's and @Demorphic's:

Hijacked account, too; hopefully the real owner can get it back someday if they were still active.

I am suspicious of any mod that closes it's comment section. Generally, that indicates to me that the mod has an issue, or does something undesirable, that the author doesn't want advertised in the comments..... So, yeah, no comments? No download.

Or it could be that the author got trolled and decided that dealing with users was above their pay grade. Some of the comments I read are... well... let's just say they fully justify that the author should disable comments for all their mods forever. And yes, you can ask the moderators to remove those comments, of course. Or ban the troll. Or both. But the damage is already done.

Most of my mods have commenting disabled. It's the only way to ensure peace and quiet from idiots who hate on male stuff. It certainly doesn't suggest my mods are buggy or badly thought out. I just got sick of being treated as a pariah because I don't make endless titty mods.

Happens at times, some of the spammers get hit with 2,3 or sometimes 4 different people at one time, usually within seconds of each other.

Yeah, I get that, and I remember way back when, when alien turned off all comments. Completely understandable, but, you also have name-recognition, and have been here just this side of forever.

In general, ya gotta have a pretty thick skin to upload mods for public consumption, but, sometimes, even adamantium skin ain't think enough. There are some truly.... erm.... "special" people out there in the world.......

I still love it when users act like they have the right to belittle mod authors for issues with their mods. Those people need to go outside more often.

I'm not a fan of the whole slave-kink thing myself either, but there's other ways to go about this than berating someone.

Indeed.  I've had good online roleplays on both sides of that kink, myself.  But I'd also expect someone who wasn't into it to move along to something else.

Beat me to that one!

And yet I'm wondering just what issue coridon was having.  Was it an incorrect password?  Capchas not working?  Part of the page not loading?  Maybe the site or their ISP was having issues, and they needed to try again later?  The world may never know...
