unriggables ban

[riggable]

My friend, unriggable, has pleaded with me to ask the community and the moderators why he has been banned from the forum yet again. See, he does so much bad and tasteless and humourless things hes unsure of what he did this time. Could a moderator clarify?
thanks

[pancakemix]

Last time it was pretty bad. I'm anxious to hear what he did.

[riggable]

i think last time it had something to do with a swinging penis, so i dunno how he could top that

[AK_iceman]

Thread-jacking. He's been warned about it before, and the second offense is a 5 day forum ban.

well that sucks

Thread-jacking. He'll be out for a few weeks though as it was his 3rd offense.

AK, you still havent answered back to me on why im on your ignore list?

[Skittles!]

I guess I shouldn't accidently thread-jack.
Hm. Unriggable was fun to talk to -(

[Skittles!]

AK, you still havent answered back to me on why im on your ignore list?

You're thread-jacking. This isn't about ignore lists! Gosh

[duday53]

uh oh

but still i have pmed him 2 times and asked him on the forums three times plus other people have pmed him asking too

[AK_iceman]

Ignore lists are quite obvious, if you're on mine then that means I do not want you to join any of my games.

[dominationnation]

what threads were hijacked?

[s.xkitten]

and define what threadjacking is exactly...

i still don't seem to understand the mods view on this...

[AK_iceman]

Taking over a thread on a message board by taking a part of the original posted topic, twisting it around and "hijacking" the thread itself. What happens is that the original content contained in the post becomes moot and whatever the "Thread Jacker" has manipulated the content to be becomes the new content thereby "hijacking" the original intent of post. People now respond to the "thread jacker's" input and the that becomes the focus of the thread.

Is that clear?

[Skittles!]

But what if the OP changed the thread name to what the new conversation is. Would that still be counted as thread-jacking?

[b.k. barunt]

I don't know about unriggable, but iliad really clogs up the forum with a plethora of long quotes followed by . . . ? Kudos to the mods on reigning him in some.

what if the thread is about hijacking threads? or the title is please hijack this thread?

when someone started talking about something else and the thread became not about it then it would be hijacking the thread about hijacking threads


and if the title was please hijack this thread it would be considered spam and locked

ok well this thread was about unriggables ban in particular, nothing else, the author never stated he wanted a definition of thread-jacking yet you AK have twisted the topic to what you want to talk about. therefore YOU have thread-jacked this thread. i am giving you an official warning, if you do it again you will receive a forum ban for a few days.

incorrect it was about the reason for unriggable's ban..


thread jacking is the reason for unriggable's ban, therefore it is about threadjacking.

[alex_white101]

argh shhh i just did it coz im bitter i recieved a warning the other day for ''thread-jacking'' even though i still dont think i actually did, seeing as i influenced maybe one or two posts, anyways back on topic (im definately not jacking this thread) where is the actual thread he hi-jacked?
