[QUOTE=jonu67;52784956]For those that have noticed it, while I'm no prude, MrProComics avatar is just straight up porn, like it ain't even subtle.
I thought at least a little tact was required. :v:[/QUOTE]
I noticed it and though it was funny so left it.
I'm terrible. :v:

really though, joking aside, I didn't mind it [I]personally[/I] but I was just thinking about everyone else, it just seemed a bit much. :<

the state of your avatar man
Okay so I'm not entirely comfortable with Bengley's performance in the Automotive Addicts thread.
Starting [url=https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1578854&page=12]here, about 2/3rds down the page[/url], you'll see a [I]lot[/I] of deleted posts, which continues throughout the next page. Bengley posted some of his dashcam footage of a traffic incident. According to several users, myself included, he wasn't exactly in the right in this situation, and several users let that be known, with a reasonably respectful debate going on on the right and wrong of the situation, though both sides were very headstrong on their correctness.
At one point, Butre called Bengley a "tard" in passing, for which Bengley banned him for a month. After that, several users called Bengley out on that, and whether or not that specific instance of the use of "tard" was flaming or not and the ban justified or not, I do not particularly care. What I do care about is the fact that after this, Bengley deleted [I]every single post[/I] relating to the discussion. I don't like that, it rubs me entirely the wrong way, and strikes as censorship and a mod trying to cover up their own mistakes. This is what Bengley had to say on the matter:
[QUOTE=Bengley;52785146]The thread was going offtopic and I can't be arsed with it. I've unbanned butre. Forget the conversation ever happened.[/QUOTE]
I really don't like this as a response either. Going "I can't be arsed" and thus deleting an entire conversation because your stance on it is unpopular is [I]incredibly petty.[/I]
[editline]Edit:[/editline]
I just counted. [B]34 posts deleted and climbing[/B], as any post that even remotely replies to Bengley's post about not being arsed is immediately deleted. This is very unbecoming.
The entire thread turned into a bengley bashing fest. Maybe I deserved it, but some users resorting to personal insults meant I felt deleting the posts was the best way to return the thread to normality.
I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with something I've posted, it's not the first time. I do have a problem with a whole thread basically ganging up on me and making me feel like shit.
That's why I deleted the posts.

You swooped into a (normally very quiet - what was the last moderation issue AA had? cubeman?) subcommunity you do not normally participate in and banned one of its prime contributors for a [I]month[/I] for criticizing you with the word [I]tard.[/I] It became a bengley bashing fest because you posted a video of yourself doing something stupid, bragged about it, and defended yourself in the face of 10 or so people trying to explain how you made a mistake, then launched an attack on us for doing so when you stubbornly refused to admit any wrongdoing.
Nobody would have had an issue with you if you had calmly agreed you made a mistake and just moved on.
To the unaware, the video in question is dascham footage of bengley doing about 20 on the highway with 7 car lengths in front of him, then suddenly accelerating and nearly hitting a van that tried to pass him with all rights to do so. It literally looks like insurance fraud, it's outrageous.
[QUOTE=sam6420;52785272]Imo stating "that was off topic let's move on" is infinitely better than deleting posts.
Also you don't have an anime avatar, so I've decided to let this slide, you're off the hook buddy.[/QUOTE]
I can always reinstate the posts later. They're not permanently deleted. If people agree this is the best thing to do then I can do it, but as you suggest we should agree to disagree because the conversation wasn't going anywhere.

I think the posts should come back, let everyone learn from the experience, both you and those bashing on you, and call it a pardon

Butre has been banned numerous times for the same reason. That's why I banned him for a month. If his ban history wasn't so bad it'd have been a 12 hour.
[highlight](User was banned for this post ("Having a break" - Bengley))[/highlight]
we're gonna reminisce about titles like we do with signatures and forum ranks.
on neopets they make you earn premade avatars and you get to pick from the ones you earned.
Id like to point out that someone before butre criticised bengley by calling him a cunt, and got no attention at all. Use of the word tard seems like a shoddy excuse for banning someone to make an example and silence opinions that were not bengleys.

The problem is that [I]that's not your decision.[/I] You can't just censor criticisms because they hurt your feelings. Regardless of whether or not you were in the right or wrong, you still posted a video to an open forum of discussion, and you shouldn't just censor any dissenting opinions.
You continued arguing the point, instead of agreeing to disagree. You weren't even answering any points, just doing a Chonch-like reiteration of your argument over and over again. The thread would've been back to normal after everyone had voiced their piece if you had just gone "I can see your point" or "Perhaps I wasn't in the right" or "Let's agree to disagree" and move on, but you had to keep pressing the matter and prompting people to respond to you. That's your fault, not theirs.

It doesn't. The timestamp is just to clear the cache whenever it changes.
Bengley I totally understand you've had a fucking doozy of a week with your car getting nailed by a deer and I don't think any of us are trying to make you feel like shit on top of that but you have to see it from our perspective too. We're car people, we're drivers, we've made our lives about cars and the road, and you posted a dashcam video of yourself doing something stupid. No matter who posts something like that that, they're gonna catch flak for it. It started out pretty gentle but you kept arguing and so it heated up. You fed that fire as much or more than anyone else. It's not fair for you to start banning people and censoring posts.
The best way forward is just to agree you mishandled the situation and let it fuckin go dude. It's not the end of the world. There doesn't need to be a drama fest spilling out of the thread. We're all cool here.
seems he took a break. Ithink more people should learn to take breaks if stuff on facepunch really gets to them, regardless of usergroup.

A+ response, I highly recommend everyone leave the AA/Bengley drama where it is, because no post is going to add anything constructive past what Grenadiac said.
Can a different mod please undelete the posts in Automotive Addicts, since Bengley has recused himself?
Link me and I will.
