#142First things first: I've always liked weeder and found his shtick amusing. An acquired taste, perhaps, but it's strictly for shits & giggles. He DOES provide entertainment value for those so inclined/care enough to "get him". Some totally miss the boat w/him and that's amusing in and of itself (I could name names but I won't).
Rocketeer isn't one that misses the boat, he understands weeder's shtick but doesn't find it amusing and feels it gets excessive being this is a gambling forum and not Carrot Top's blog. I respect that opinion; my counter to that opinion is the*fact* that SBR stopped being strictly a gambling forum moons ago. I shouldn't have to elaborate as to this certainty or to how or WHY -- those that need elaboration on this fact will probably never get it anyway.
I also have always liked Shari and like zizou stated, I agree w/her 99% of the time. But, also similar to what zizou elocuted in his fine posts above, she's off the mark here, IMO. She engaged in a little intellectual 'bait & switch' by trying to make this a "soft" issue. Has nothing to do with *that* and everything to do with an AGREEMENT. Call me old fashioned, but I take giving your word (especially when entering an agreement) sacrosanct. To me, it's silly to try to put forth the argument that no forum "rules" were broken; uh, hello... everybody knows that. It wasn't a rules violation... weeder committed a honor violation. He failed to live up to his agreement w/ Rocketeer for his unbanning to (rightfully) proceed -- in short, Rocketeer was duped in the agreement and PAID IN FULL w/ his video only to be subsequently shafted.
Now, before I hear the counter of "SBR could give a rat's ass bout a honor violation we only care about rules violations yadda yadda" let's all remember that ... *drumroll* ... for better or worse, Shari (in fact) involved herself in this agreement. PERIOD. Horse left the barn -- can't disassociate from the agreement NOW and fall back on "forum rules". The standard should be what was agreed to; after all, was is not weeder that initiated admin participation? Ah, yeah, it was. And Shari obliged. The agreement was weeder had to do what rocketeer did in order to be unbanned. Simple, really. End of story.
Believe it or not, it's kinda important what Admin says previously (publicly) -- peeps remember.

#150If you actually spent more time on this forum paying attention to what the policies were around here instead of fixated on me, you would've known that I shouldn't have even put that condition on his return in the first place. The fact I even got a vid out of him at all was a stretch. Fukk outta here you bloody douchecanoe.
One more time for those on the short bus: If someone self bans and asks to come back, unless they've tried to sneak back on with a ghost, they're going to be allowed back. Get it?!
What I DON'T understand is what's happened to this place that now not only do we have people crying when they're called an asshole but threatening to leave - as if staff is going to care - because either someone dares to post here or is allowed back. Have y'all gone soft???
Many of us have been in full on WARS on here where we were called much worse than an asshole or zomg someone didn't like our posts and yet there was none of this crying and threatening to leave bullshit unless you were a full blown nutter. None of this if you do xyz I'll do xyz in return. It was fuk you, I don't like you and you don't like me, who the fuk cares???? You DON'T EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE!!!!!
If you don't like someone, put them on ignore. If you don't like the fact that they're posting here... leave. If you make some stupid promise then either honour it or don't. SBR Staff will no longer humour your bullshit. If you send us messages saying that if we don't ban someone or worse TELLING us to ban someone... here's news for you: It ain't gonna happen. So suck it up or grow up. Not that difficult.
You better run along now. Trigger Trace is in need of some more stroking. Don't bite off more than ......if you know what I mean sweat pea.

#157No way this is Shari posting.
I don't get it---should SBR be involved in every single silly dispute? Of course not.
But-- when a bet that gained the attention like this one did---- isn't honored, well, that doesn't help this place or it's posters.
Do those of us who disagree with it have a choice? Of course. We can go to other boards, we can block posters/messages, but, SBR could also from time to time-- hold a guy like Seaweed to his bet.
Come on Shari, you're reasonable. You know what Weeder did was messed up.Comment -
