If he hasn't reached last resort status already, what's it going to take? How many hours have been wasted discussing the Buscemi problem? And is he getting better or getting worse? The way this forum has been dealing with him for YEARS is clearly not working. I think we're enabling him by allowing his behaviour to continue.

[NSpan]

Boosh doesn't need to be kicked/banned, he just needs to be stripped of his mod status. He said so himself.

I don't want to tarnish my tough-guy reputation that I've steadily built on these forums.

Ah! Good point.

[JohnErle]

Boosh doesn't need to be kicked/banned, he just needs to be stripped of his mod status. He said so himself.

Then all we'd be doing is rewarding him for his behaviour by giving him what he wants and allowing him to feel like a big man for volunteering to be demoted.

I'm not advocating a permanent ban, just a cooling off period. He even says that might do him some good and I agree, but I doubt he has the willpower to do it himself, just like he didn't have the willpower to not delete someone else's thread because of an argument he started.

[NSpan]

outside of abusing mod powers, he's not bothering me.

so that's my take on it.

[JohnErle]

I could swear I've had this exact same conversation about Buscemi in the past and nothing ever changes. Not him, not the way the forum reacts to him, nothing. I say it's time for a new approach, but I probably said that last time too. Fat lot of good it did.

[undeadmonkey]

Interesting Convo. I too think booshs mod powers should be taken away. However I don't see the point in banning him, after all he can just create another account.

As for booshs all around behaviour he just lives on his own little world. And it's up to each individual how much you let it bother you. It's like annoying itch, if you ignore it, it usually goes away, but if you itch it then it just itches more.

Boosh, I don't think anyone wishes you ill here. At least I personally don't. But I would advise you to step out of your little world, maybe watch a few less movies and go spend a few more hours helping others, volunteer at a soup kitchen, find creative ways to raise money for a good cause. I mean this in the nicest way possible but you take this place too seriously, we all have our own lives to live and this place is a little escape, a little hobby on the side of our hectic and busy lives.


And yes this place is much quieter than our fm boards or even our boards after that. But some credit has got to go to some folks for keeping us together so far. And I didn't want to say anything before it happened, but I've been trying to build something that would bring new life to these boards and these games, but I have a full time job and an almost full time social life so finding time to work on it isn't abundant. So it might not be anytime soon, but I personally still love playing our quaint little games and reading others reviews and I plan to for some time yet.

Good lord sounds like I missed a lot of fun

[BanksIsDaFuture]

Steve Buscemi would be PISSED to see his good name sullied like this.

When something itches, I usually just scratch it and it goes away. Dude, you should probably see a doctor about your skin condition.
