what, precisely, was the word or words that Curt used, which caused his tar-pitting? Anyone know?
and...probably the mod who pittted curt feels sort of bad....after all, he or she most likely wouldn't have ever guessed it would have caused him to leave.

Again, I ask: Why is this important?
In reply to: and...probably the mod who pittted curt feels sort of bad....after all, he or she most likely wouldn't have ever guessed it would have caused him to leave.
[/mod]I doubt it. Personally, I wouldn't feel bad that someone got his knickers in a twist and left the site because he was asked to display some civility and refrain from unacceptable behavior. Curt left because he was asked to not do something offensive. What does that tell you about the quality of him as a person?

Well then I take that back. So - Reno, are you a mod, and are you the one who shit-canned Curt?
Why does it matter? It doesn't. Just asking is all. I am also wondering exactly what sort of textual misbehavior (in reality, not theory, earns a tar-pitting nowadays).

happiegrrrl:
1) Yes, I'm a mod. Mostly I do mod stuff in Accidents/Injuries, since I know a little bit about injuries, medicine, trauma, treatment of injuries, first aid, emergency medicine, athletic training, physical therapy, and the like. I also do a little bit of mod duties here in Community, which isn't something I particularily like, but I do it to help out and contribute back to the website that has been such a wonderful resource.
2) No, I didn't "shitcan"Curt. Nobody "shitcanned" Curt. Curt stated that he was leaving RC.com. That's right... he did it himself. Nobody told him to leave. This is a distinction I wish to make clear. Nobody told Curt he wasn't welcome. At least none of us on the staff.
In reply to: Why does it matter? It doesn't. Just asking is all. I am also wondering exactly what sort of textual misbehavior (in reality, not theory, earns a tar-pitting nowadays).
Read the TOS for an explanation of what constitutes unacceptable behavior. It's really quite simple: No Porn, no Spam, no gratuitous nudity, no personal and offensive attacks/harassment. What's so wrong about that?

I've seen some fairly offensive attacks amongst personalities within the forums that didn't appear to result in tar-pittings....I just was wondering -as I said - if anyone would direct me to the "pre-pit post." I think other people just wondered too, is all.
Not a big deal. Feel free to disregard my posts.

Curt's a good friend and I'm going to miss his input. Mods and Admins collectively share the decision making process for metting out consequences, but the TOS really makes the decisions for us in many cases. He had been formally warned for taking it too far in the recent past (1st warning), and this was the second incident. The objectivity comes into play where we all discuss what is "too far." There were two people involved in the exchange and you know Curt -- he'll escalate the battle as far as the other party is willing to take it. Most of us felt it was over the top.
Curt, you're welcome to come back any time, bro. Once and for all, let me make it clear, Curt is not banned. He chose to leave.

We can't. The post was removed. Yep. The entire post is archived because there was content in it that did more than just violate the TOS (content which was not Curt's), it offended some potential business partners.

isnt it bad ethics to let advertisers determine content?

In reply to: this site...can't decide whether it wants to be a cooperative, user-supported website, or a corporate, commercial entity.
Putting my web guy hat on, if the management take note of one comment in this thread it should be this one.
Serious commerical sites take their responsibilities seriously. That means if there is a disciplinary procedure, it is fair and transparent to everyone. Side-stepping the issue of exactly who tarpitted who and what the comments were that led to it breeds exactly the culture we have here - there isn't really that much nepotism and back-scratching going on, but it looks like there is because the management close ranks and won't accept responsibility when there's conflict.
Okay, I'll take that hat off now.
Curt, sorry to see you go.

well i'd like to find out what the hell they were thinking and how they arrived at this decision. to tarpit someone who was in the process of organizing (and doing the bulk of the leg work) for the protection of queen creek, and communicating abundantly through this site is absolutely foolish... from a CLIMBER'S perspective, at least, which seems to be a perspective this website desperately lacks.... so in short it matters because i want to learn more about the situation.

Anyone who stays anywhere for an extended period of time and expects it to not change is seriously delusional.
When I gave up in the case of Jules vs. Things She Cannot Change, it was a happy day.
That court shit is expensive.

What they were thinking was *probably* something like this:
"Oh, wow.... Curt's comments to this other user are way out of line, and they violate the TOS. Curt has been warned before about this sort of thing, yet he's still doing it. I'll consult with the other mods, ask them for input, and then decide on an appropriate action. In the meantime, I'll ask Curt to refrain from making such offensive and inappropriate posts."
Or something like that.

then again, look at who some of the mods are.
As much as I love him, Bumblie - who has personally attacked and been an ass to just about every user here who he doesn't meet eye to eye with - is a mod. :lol:
