sin bin ????

**GIXser** · 8th May 2006, 17:06

The Sin Bin got me thinkin in the weekend, i dont really know the rules, but people like SPB, recently got binned, for whatever reason.

SPB, as far as i can tell is fairly well respected in the KB community.
Now there is a lot of shit slinging on this site" i have recieved plenty and given lots ..as far as the people involved most i have ridden with, and some i will ride with in the future." now here's the thing---
there are a lot of people on the site, that dont even own a bike, and some of them are very very ,, good at starting arguments,
Most people i talked to are PISSED" that SPB got binned,
my point is this, should people get binned for speaking their mind on a forum ?
even though we like riding with em, i mean surely its between the two or more people havin an arguement" and thats it. iIdont think its caused any psychotic killings yet,, so why bin people..???maybe a poll would be fairer"

make it a jury rather than an judge (mod)...!!

My point above, (some people dont even have a bike) relates to the fact, that we all get together at the end of the day and go for a ride as friends you put a face to the name, you get to see the "true person"
you never see the people that dont have a bike , yet they may be the cause of the binning!!!

i would like to make this a constructive chat/thread, so please give me your opinions...

Sin binning is only carried out after either a complaint is lodged or we (the mod's) notice something going on. Then it is discussed by the mod's and Spankme. A decision is then reached. There are probably more people not getting binned despite a complaint then those that do get binned.

The rules of the site are clear enough, break them enough times and you'll get pulled into line. Note that a binning doesn't stop you from actually posting. Oh yeah, no-one gets binned for just speaking their mind on normal issues. But threats, personal attacks, multiple log-ins, etc will get you binned.

Nothing wrong with speaking your mind - however when it gets to being blatantly abusive, both on the threads and via PM and rep, then the line has been crossed. Sinbinning, IMO, is a good thing. It can give the binned person a chance to think about the way they put things and cool down. I don't see the harm in the mods being able to make that decision. Who, besides the mods, would be on this jury? Who takes any notice of poll results?
The system as it stands works - no need to reinvent the wheel.

Sinbined...I didn't even know you could be sinbined, considering some of the posts/comments I'd read I'm guessing it would have had to been really bad for that to happen.

In relation to SPB in particular, I've been offside with him before. He didn't like my view, I didn't like his view. Can't say I found it a problem, and I hope he didn't find it a problem either. We agreed to disagree. So f***ing what? That's what grown ups do.

KBers in general. Yes, well, there's plenty of whingy whinny things on this site with an inflated sense of their own importance and belief that they're so right that everyone who disagrees with them must be wrong. Who cares whether they ride, what they ride, what they post or what their thoughts are. Some people just take things way too seriously.

I think the sin bin is like sexual harrassment. It's only sexual harrassment if someone takes it the wrong (or right) way. Telling a chick she has a great rack doesn't instantly cost you your job. Telling the WRONG chick she has a great rack gets you strung up on the rack.

I understand that it takes a moderator to stick someone in the bin. Let's face it - KB is not a democracy. Don't forget that. It's an internet forum, a website. Nothing more, nothing less. Sometimes people lose sight of that.

I've been binned twice now. was not sure exactly why each time, but knew that I did deserve it. I think spank and the mods do a great job, that simple really. IMO things should stay the way as they are.

Well given Winjas posts wanting to see cops get bashed and giving kudos to cop killers I'm wondering how SPB crossed the line further than that.

Mind you Winjy is a special case.

Most of the moderators can not sin bin anyone, I think there are only 4 mod's who can (including SpankMe and Wari). Anyway, it is still a collective decision.

Someone will contact the member and let them know why they have been binned. Maybe this hasn't happened in the earlier days but it is now.
