Just droppin' in to say I'm pleased Leb is melba.
And...
"You sunk my battleship!"
This is the only page of the thread I've read.
Hang loose supertopo.
Edit: that last page is the only one I've read.

It's really about all of us and what the consequences are when CMac gets sufficiently annoyed. You will note that his only rule is he has no rules, except of course the implicit ones about pornography and cuss words. Neither of which would have any legal validity if taken to the Supreme Court.
So we're here as CMac's guests and when he's tired of someone, likely due to malcontents complaining to him, they get the axe.
It's his playpen and his business and when he's had enough it's haste la vista baby.
These deactivations seem quite arbitrary. Arbitrary indeed as CMac has never given a reason just the vague warning in his thread to "be nice kids".
As much as I thought three of the outcasts could be complete jerks (I don't dare use the a***hole word tonight) and the other three could annoy me thoroughly, I don't like seeing anyone banned.
My protest is to not click on any ads. Not to buy anymore SuperTopo products (easy enough as I've got all the books I really need) and not go to the gear reviews.

Really? Why not protest by leaving, but make sure you are dramatic about it and announce it, and read all of the you'll be missed threrads. If this was my place I'd boot you based on your above statement.
Am I wrong in thinking you just said. "I will use your service, but am not willing to help you maintain it" Sort of like getting govt cheese and not paying taxes.
I really hope that I miss read what you wrote.

You read exactly what I wrote.
So email CMac and see if he'll ban me.

WOW. You seem pretty selfish there. But whatever.
Dude, I could care less about banning people, and would not report anyone, for anything.

I will protest by clicking on all the Ads, gear reviews and TRs!! I was going to suggest that to Prod. I'm sure you both can click way more than I ever do anyway.

I think there will be an influx of ad-clicking tonight...
Or was HT using reverse psychology?!

I'm not sure who you meant by Butthead, but I've never assumed anyone has emailed CMac to complain about me. At least not yet.
EDIT: oy vey....Locker's definitely a Butthead. And good on 'im.

I've had the HONOR to have some of my routes (and Woodys and mine, and Steve's and mine, and...) CHOPPED by, "the SKIPPER"...
Somebody would chop one Woody's routes? Didn't Woody practically invent Josh climbing?
Of all the noive.

Every time you post a reply look to the right.
Our goal with the climbing forum is to provide a resource for climbers of all skill levels and experience to get information about climbing and climbing destinations.
Please help us keep the climber's forum a friendly and informative resource. If you find posts that are objectionable, please let us know. Although we can't control the content posted to the forum or route beta sections, we will delete objectionable or offensive posts as we become aware of them.
We appreciate your support!
Friendly and informative. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
Keep it simple. No moderation. If someone can't play by the 'rules' whackamole them.
I don't think Chris or anyone else should have to put much time or effort into keeping this place cool. If someone is negative and/or produces so much noise that they drive away posters that contribute in a good way you have to axe them.
I'll miss some of the posters that got the axe, but I understand why they are gone.

Ah! …well if it’s complaints that nudge the blacklist bulldog…watch for a new level of grousing, grievances and whiny protestations to management from me! :-)

A "like" button may have merit, for threads if not individual posts - as long as you couldn't "like" your own posts/threads. And if there was a way to search threads by the most liked, that would be nice.

You must be a climber for the climber’s code to apply and you're not. And thirdly, the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. (courtesy of Captain Barbossa)

Do I have to brag about being a climber to deserve any respect?
I really don't want to brag about the climbing I did.
But I do post to many climbing threads, since I did 1000s of routes, summits, boulders etc. and love to contribute to climbing threads that interest me,
Since I did write the "Southern California Bouldering Guide"
I do have some credentials I can retire on.
I could care less about your CV. Again Other than this thread and 1 post in a Ron Paul thread I have not read anything you write. I think my attention was drawn to you because you are the author of the Republicans are wrong thread, and I see it, as well as your name, every time I come here, so by association I see you as a detractor to the site. I must be wrong though as there are thousands of posts on that thread, so others obviously like it. Carry on...
