He sent me a private message asking "how long is the basement ban in effect for the CFB forums?"
I'm guessing he has a ban in just the college football forum or something like that?

It should be indefinite imo.

Actually, I don't. I'll reinstate him at some point.

How should I respond? He was all respectful and everything in the message so I don't want to just ignore him.

Tell him he will be reinstated once ND wins a national championship.

Just tell him the unemployed welfare case who runs the site is out begging for quarters so he can drink his troubles away and when he's done with that, he'll look into the case.

Or you could tell him it's over when he stops being a fucking douchebag.

I think Sleeper has made it clear roughly 850 times over the past 5 days that he's not a fucking douchebag. He's a guy who tells it how it is and no one else can take it, so he wins. Or something like that.wildcats20;1054998 wrote:Or you could tell him it's over when he stops being a fucking douchebag.

I say we let him back, IF the word filter is changed so that everytime someome uses a hash tag, it changes it to "I'm a douchebag"

Well since it's the offseason it'll slow down anyway, but he honestly needs it through next football season (which unfortunately due to the timing of this all would give him a solid year).
He can act as nice as he wants, but he's been the same way since 1-2 years before JJ's took their nosedive.
Don't ignore him, but nicely tell him "you blew it by being a complete douche for 5 years straight, drop the tired act or find a new site"... lol

Can we make it a public poll and ban the yes votes?

Justin should put a closed poll in the CFB forum with "should sleeper be allowed to post in the CFB forum" and only "yes" and "no" as options. 51+% wins

But nonetheless, said schtick singlehandedly ruins forums (see: CFB on JJ and here)

I agree to an extent. It is a schtick and he sticks to it incredibly well; the problem is how people react to it. Some people take it seriously and thus fire back. Others mimic it and try to do it for their team but aren't as funny and piss of more people. Ultimately it just leads to fighting and discord among posters making any kind of serious talk nearly impossible.fan_from_texas;1055117 wrote:I love sleeper.

If sleeper limited his act to merely just pumping up OSU constantly, that'd be fine. But his treatment of ND and other schools is what causes problems.

THIS. It's still annoying, but this was how he was when he was tolerable back on JJ. If he dropped the ND/SEC bullshit, and kept his OSU act to OSU topics, his act would fly a lot better.Fly4Fun;1055423 wrote:If sleeper limited his act to merely just pumping up OSU constantly, that'd be fine.

That's fair enough. When he posts things like, "Ohio State players actually walk on water, while SEC players sink because they're slow," I'm amazed by how many people take him seriously and want to debate it. If people just ignored him, life would go on.Fly4Fun;1055423 wrote:I agree to an extent. It is a schtick and he sticks to it incredibly well; the problem is how people react to it.

Not to mention how he has picked up the anti-miltiary, racist, super atheist act as well lately.ts1227;1055426 wrote:THIS.

The thing is his base stances (except the racism) are probably how he feels and are how others on the board feel too, they are fairly normal stances... but he insists on adding his over the top bullshit to it.

True. I think his positions are pretty reasonable on most things--it's that he works so hard to go over-the-top and get a reaction.ts1227;1055863 wrote:The thing is his base stances (except the racism) are probably how he feels and are how others on the board feel too, they are fairly normal stances... but he insists on adding his over the top bull**** to it.

I plan on killing him with fire. Not figuratively. Literally. He really hurts my feelings sometimes.
