It's kind of a unspoken rule that in life a noob gets cut some slack on the first day.
Hadn't said Noob been a member for over a year, though with a low post count?
Or am I reading the wrong Hickism?

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Virtually every similar site I've visited, including those with much less adult content, requires you to agree to the ToS before registering. Not to mention the ToS are hard to track down, especially for a noob, even for folks who've been around awhile. I don't understand why they aren't prominiently displayed in the Index for starters. I think they could be clearer and better defined as well.I personally think that if the mods wanted to cut down on their work
(and to keep the waters relatively calm), they would make every new member read the ToS and every sticky in every thread, and then click on a box saying that they aggree to follow the forum rules. That would keep stupid shit threads, such as the one that got HB banned, from popping up and creating problems.
Ah, I get it (and at no one in particular, I gather). :wink:If that's what people want to do, I don't mind, but I started the thread just to take advantage of Hickboy's absence and vent my spleen (at nothing in particular).
Hardly.well, from what I'm seeing, the vast majority of the newbs are
#1 getting banned within the first month
Perspective. One man's garbage...#2 creating garbage threads
But a lot of people do care about those threads. Just because they're not for you, doesn't mean others don't appreciate them. It's what keeps a healthy portion of this site's membership coming back. What's the large penis support group without large penis?#3 insisting starting multiple threads trying to show off their cocks (not so newbies do it all the time and frankly it gets old. I don't care about your dick, just as you don't care about mine, so why do you feel it necessicary to start a new thread every day showing off your junk?)
In a lot of cases, I think it's the other way around. And regardless of whether one's been here for years or not, if they're acting like a tool, and get called on it by newb, then it's totally warranted. People need to get over their exaggerated senses of self-entitlement.#4 starting shit with those who have been on the site for years.

I didn't call it a porn site. But it is a site about big dicks that happens to have a fairly active community that discuss a variety of things. Not the other way around.umm....this site isn't a porn site (though its rapidly becoming one). Apparently you didn't read the thread that got hickboy banned, because if you did, you would realize that he was accurate in what he said, he was just harsh (which had the op of that thread would have been wearing his big boy britches, he wouldn't have been such a whiney bitch) which is typical HB style.
I didn't say that. I said I don't think the mods have the ability to program the site in the way that you wish. In fact, I'm quite sure they don't have the power to program the site at all.And since when do the mods not have the ability to do anything?
That was hilarious, Smooth. Where have you been?

I'm a little on the fence about the ban. From what I know, and this is my subjective opinion, some kind of ban after such specific warnings seems warranted, though three months seems a bit excessive. Taking into account the OP seems to have originally been in the WI thread, maybe a month at most would have been appropriate? Then again, I doubt he really gives a crap.
Other than this particular instance, there are a lot of people who don't get or appreciate Hick, and that's a shame. On the other hand, who wants to appeal to the masses? I don't, do you?
I think you need to read the thread again. What lead you to conclude that the OP was a "whiney bitch"? He made two fucking posts. Basically he said "my dick isn't huge, but would it make you happy?"umm....this site isn't a porn site (though its rapidly becoming one).

He is 99% str8 so I think it's safe to assume he wasn't asking Hickboy.
Tasha told him it feels the same as all the other threads on the topic.
To which the OP apologized and asked politely for directions to those threads.
AlterEgo gave him the info.
Then Hickboy dumped a load of shit on him. For no reason whatsoever. Unless he wanted to be banned.
The OP didn't reply. So where is the "whiney bitch"?
I like HB and wish he was here too. But don't make stuff up.
