BigT's Ten Warnings- can we find all of them? (Was: BigT’s Nine Warnings- can we find all of them?)

[Someone]

Link ‘em up.

Mod Notes too as a bonus.

[Someone]

Found one! (telling others what they can/can't post)

ETA: make that two (personal insults in IMHO)

I knew that we could count on you.

[Someone]

three insults in imho

[Someone]

Thanks, I think...

[Someone]

(your link isn't working)

Four: personal insults in ATMB, from Tuba no less

[Someone]

This thread is a hilarious idea. I wish I had time to play along right now.

[Someone]

Link on #3 is fixed now

[Someone]

This from Miller to BigT.

Mod note.

ETA: A search for "BigT" and "suspended" comes up empty.

[Someone]

I thought nine warnings was enough to get a poster banned.

I only had 5, and over a longer span of time than his 5 earliest people have found so far.

[Someone]

OK, I took a stab at it but no luck finding the elusive two. C'mon T, we all know you're following this thread. Cough 'em up.

I did find this thread, though:

As for my old arguments: It's going to be hard to police, and mods will be busy with the new changes, The second someone under 18 posts one we can get in serious trouble. We're trying to create an atmosphere of intelligent conversation, while these sorts of the threads tend to degenerate into infantile and sophomoric comments quite rapidly. "Me &heart; teh boobies!" and all that stuff.

If the board was still pay-to-post, it wouldn't be so bad. But we're newly free. We need to make a good impression. Posting nudie pics is not the way to go.

And, as Fark.com found out, we can lose advertisers quickly if we have this sort of thing.

This is only a month after his join date as BigT. I guess he was making his "old arguments" on the "old board" with a different name.

I wonder if they were during The Winter Of Our Missed Content.

[Someone]

Did we ever find the remaining two warnings?

[Someone]

It is hard to find these because BigT wades into every thread about warnings to wag his finger at whoever posted it and it creates a lot of noise on google. Man that guy needs a long break fromt he board.

[Someone]

I did find this. This is the saddest fucking thing I've ever read on the Internet. A warning over a swear is causing BigT real pain and he can't sleep.

It goes on and on like that. He is really in agony over a warning. Many people suggest he get perspective. The humane thing to do would have been to just ban him and end it there but all they did was lock the thread.

I learned it from watching you, dad!

From post 27 of that thread. BigT posts;
It's a warning on a message board that has become my life. It's my second warning. All I got to do is have one more mod take umbrage with something I write, and I can now be banned.


You found his second warning. Amazing, he stretched one more and I'll be banned to 7 more and still posting.

[Someone]

Found one!

Threatening to track people down.

[Someone]

Here's another, though not sure if it's a warning or a note.

[Someone]

I should be getting more done at work but I couldn't stay away. Marley, in IMHO, with the collapzor.

Don't be a jerk, BigT; this is threatening and totally inappropriate.

[Someone]

Here is one for failing to follow moderator instructions. From Miller! You really have to fuck up to get a warning from him.

[Someone]

I always thought he was just a pompous blowhard but, man, he's got a nasty streak.

[Someone]

Much of his moralizing and finger-wagging is projection on his part. He's reaming people for doing/saying what he really wants to, but is afraid to, and projecting his motivation for it onto them. Hence his constantly assuming that people who say "Shut up, BigTard" (or similar insulting dismissal of someone else) are doing it because they are angry with him because he's right and they have no reasonable response. Since he would only dismissively insult someone for that reason, therefore anyone who dismissively insults him must be doing it for that reason, too.

[Someone]

I've lost count. Also, did BigT post under a different name originally?

[Someone]

Yes. He was small cursive t for brief period.

Brief. period.

[Someone]

I couldn't find any mod warnings, but there is this admission that he's been racking up warnings since grade school. Took a wrong turn early, that one did!

[Someone]

Did that period affect his mood swings?

[Someone]

Always.

[Someone]

Let me clean things up:

One by JC for Jr. Modding 10/11/16

Two by Ellen Cherry for insults 06/28/13

Three by Czar for insults 05/16/10

Four by Tuba for insults 07/26/10

Five by Miller for threatening stalking on 12/02/17

Six by Miller for not following mod instructions on 01/15/11

Seven by Marley for threats 05/11/10

[Someone]

Thanks for getting the thread back on track, haj. Some of those wisecrack sidebars were cringeworthy; "BigT's period" is a casein point. I'll add, though, that I think my earlier link to a Marley post was a legit warning if you want to consider it as #7 for the list.

You are absolutely correct. I have edited the post.

Huh. That thread is about Skald being skeevy, and it's 7 years before the latest shit about him. Seems people have been bitching about him for years before anything was finally done.

Well that's over a long time period, so Age Out and Pity factor.

He makes me think of my favorite cousin's wife's dog - a little yappy annoying pathetic thing with cancer and bug eyes. Everyone secretly hates the dog, but the pity angle plus for some reason the wife loves the thing - habit maybe as she calls it "the little asshole."

There's BigT, a fat shut in version of a small yappy dog that people kind of tolerate because of habit and pity.

2 warnings still missing folks. These last two are worth 50 points each and a priority choice in the new Death (banning) of a Derper 2019 thread. Wherein we list the favorite candidates for the ban ax.

[Someone]

He's a sad little man. He needs to quit the board and get counseling.

Edit: Does this Ban Pool thread exist? Where is it, S3? Or are we on to S4 now? Nobody tells me anything.

I expect UrbanRedneck SlackerInc to be banned inside the week. BigT will never get banned because the mods are afraid he'd take his own life.

[Someone]

I don't think he'll get banned either. In fact, I hope he doesn't. But, anyone who doesn't think politics enters into derp moderation needs to ask why he has 9 warnings and hasn't been suspended?

That's an excellent question.

Truth is, in many cases, the mods pretty much work themselves into a frenzy in the mod loop, like the Indians of old chanting as they war dance around the campfire, before one is selected to go deliver the fatal blow. The whole time they are dancing and chanting, they are reading here to see what us meanies think because, gawd dammit, we really are the smartest kids on the interweb. We're like MSNBC in a Fox world. Banning BigT would be like child abuse or kicking puppies.

The last few mod appointments are nothing more than angry old men, one with a chicken too skinny to eat but with a similar size brain.

Fact check that one baby!

[Someone]

Especially two for threatening/stalking, seems like only one would get a guy banned. But as has been noted, they've also dealt multiple warnings to other posters. I genuinely think it has more to do with pity than politics.

[Someone]

I found this. Mr G calling BigT a fucking knob. LMAO.

Goddamn it BigT, stop bumping ATMB threads you fucking knob.




BigToe responds...
No. I know you haven't been moderating for a long time, but we don't have any zombie rules anymore. If no one has said what I wanted to say, then I will say it, no matter what the thread. You can clearly see that I was the one who posted it, so you can easily not read the thread.

The fact that I'm annoying you will not in any way change how I post. Stop being such a whiny baby.

https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb...d.php?t=668831

Still can't find Warning 8 or 9.

Rereading that thread, I'm a bit ashamed at how cruel I was back in 2012 and ever since then.

Ouch, the mods were pretty cruel to him as well. It's pretty sad that a MB where nobody seems to like him much is his life.

[Someone]

What's curious is that BigT -- according to hajaro's list -- got four warnings in the space of a year (05/11/10, 05/16/10, 07/26/10 and 01/15/11; three of which were only two months apart). He must've been going through a pretty angry phase, esp with the stalking/threats in there.

I guess one of those includes the infamous BigT freakout that he has no other life but the SDMB, so as Mr. Plumbean suggests, he might've gotten away with 'em due to the mods' pity (or fear they'd be cited in a suicide lawsuit). Still it's pretty surprising that the SDMB's favorite schoolmarm has such a hefty record.

[Someone]

I bet he is sweating bullets.

That's what I thought and was too uncruel to say. Most controversial posters this side of Cesario have at least a few champions but literally nobody likes BigT as far as I can tell. And really he's not a Cesario-level bad person, just... you know, BigT. And yet the board is [in his own words] his life. Can't he at least find some board where he'd be appreciated? I don't know what it would be.

It was cruel, I'm sorry. Definitely could have gone unsaid.
