Banned Modellers and the reasons why...
« on: June 14, 2006, 04:30:30 am »
i'm wanting to know if anyone could or would provide a list of model makers that have been banned for raesons other than theft.

so before this get scrapped let me explain that i am trying to in some small way for my own personal peace of mind separate the fact from fiction and establish some discourse to discord.

moderators and administrators your input is always and in this case be extremely welcome and helpful.

also i would ask for just the facts and not personal opinion.


lastly, here is where the siege begins, nothing, NOTHING is going to be "off the record".  this is a star trek fan site not some government tribunal.

who or what is "IIRC"???

The reason for this is, the last time read the rules, is for open discussion.  nothing more and nothing less.

There will be no flaming, insults or the like.

I don't think it's anyones business who was banned and why. That's between the Admin and the party that was banned.

jayvt3, you are right, we are lacking some open discussion in this forum lately. Can we pick a different subject?

Here are some ideas:

The lack of Mass moment of inertia in the pylons of most Federtion ships, anyone know the section modulus for the Ent E pylons?

The way the design of starships corrolates to automobile design in the same year that the ship was created by Paramont. For example, the Enterprise E, Steamrunner, Saber, and Norway classes came out around the same time as Ford set the new auto design standard with its "new edge" technique.

I would like to see some future ship concepts that were created during the time when The Next Generation was running. I want to see what fans thought Enterprise F, G, H, and I were going to look like before these Post TNG ships came out.

Lets talk about ways to travel faster than light, replicator limitations, and the properties of dilithium.

Any other topic ideas????

At any rate this forum section is about the models, textures, and mods.

This is more or less a general topic or hot topics area not meant for the mods forum.
People always said they wanted the government to listen to them and now the government is listening, taking notes and names...and coming to see you soon!

Remember the axiom of big government bureaucrats: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. When, finally, under the crushing weight of taxes and regulation, it stops moving, subsidize it.

I agree that this is not a topic for open debate.  If a banned modeller wants to give his or her point of view on the subject on their personal website that is their right, but it should really be between the modeller/ers involved and the administers.  It is allready WAY too easy for rumors, misunderstandings, half-truths and out and out lies to get on to this forum (despite the best efforts of the administrators).  Threads get pulled away from the original topics into discussions that have nothing to do with models but are simply gossip IMHO.

I agree that there is no point in rehashing all the reasons poeple have been either banned or run off of these forums. All it would accomplish is to start new arguements about old s***. If you REALLY want to know what happened to all the banned/run off modelers, I would suggest browsing through the archives of old posts...or ask the modelers themselves. I for one left the boards for quite some time because of the 5 to 1 flame war to model post ratio. Now that its settled down, I'd like to have it stay that way.

there doesn't seem to be one answer either. I've tried to find out from people what was going on back when some of this crap went down and nobody's story was the same so a thread on the subject wont do ya much good.

well...

for the IIRC post.   D'OH!!!!!!!!!   :banghead:  I should have known.

for FallenWarrior and ModelsPlease.  It was not my intention to open old wounds nor start a rumor-mongering thread.  I trusted upon the maturity and intelligence of the site's modellers and administrors.  Was I in error?

For Harcourt Fenton...I want my bobbing kit back.  Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

For InterstellerMachine.  "The lack of Mass moment of inertia in the pylons of most Federtion ships"  is due to the fact that fed ship engineers fail to realise that the ship moves through warp like a skier.  The nacelles are the skis and the pylon supports are the staves.
The pylons are not wings and never were intended to be such.
Also the designs incorporated by the Paramount studios should be listed under hogwash.  None of them make any realistic sense nor do the make any form of design sense. 
The STEAMRUNNER with escape pods right under the bussards...hmmm survivours???  Only if you were a Kzin and wanted regular or extra-crispy.
The NORWAY with outboard aft sections that an Ethiopian midget would be too fat and too tall to get through.
And lets not even start with the K'VORT (oh it's just a bunch of geeks that watch the show and they'll believe anything). 

For DTW.  Yo Man!!!  You promised that metal skin Yorktown FCA would be posted over a month ago.  But no matter for you see this was all just a clever ruse on my part to lure you in.  And yes my fly you've been caught!  Entangled in my web of a most clever devisement.  For you see I knew that in the time it takes for you to read the topic, read the replies, formulate an appropiate response,  one that I must say belies your astute if pedestian intellect, type it out and utilizing spell check, something most here are not used to.  You could have posted the prize most sought for and now my dear dear DTW prepare for your DOOM!!!

MUHUWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
MUHUWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
MUHUWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

jayvt3, this is a very interesting dicussion.  I'm not really interested in talk of who got banned by who or your idea of a "American SFC Modol" game show idea, but I do agree with you on one thing.... in the past I have seen some outstanding Model designs and some really terrible ones aswell!

I won't list any Models by people on this board that are terrible.  Ya, there are occasionally a few Models I have seen listed on these forums that don't make much sense, but these models are more Artwork then a Engeneering Class so I give most modelers a benefit of the doubt.  And this is a good thing about this forum, it allows a lot of creativity in some of the designs I have seen.

But I do definitly agree with your opinions on some of the Paramont Ships that have been made over the recent years.  Ships like the Akira, Norwary (well... maybe not the Norwary), Steamrunner, etc., they feel like they were put together with Glue or something!  I never liked these ships that much and actually only Prefer the Intrepid, Defiant, and maybe Soverign Class as the only great Post TNG Designs I have seen lately.  It really sadens me when I see people try too make a ship or Kitbash based on the Akira or the Steamrunner and I don't even think those are great designs too begin with. 

sigh... oh how I miss the days when Paramont made ships more like the Enterprise-D and such.   ::)

I was asked by Azel to say the reason he was banned was because he did something he belived in, this would probably be the case of most people who are banned that or stupidity.
either way its not our place to butt in or even stick our noses in could a moderator lock this topic so it cant carry on as its not the nicest of threads to keep around in a model forum

Locked as requested.

The official answer to the request is "No, and don't bother asking again".

I'm kind of flabbergasted that anyone would even think we'd be willing to entertain the notion.

The only reason ANYONE gets banned is for breaking forum rules. End of story.
