Yogi has a temporary ban that is the result of some language he used and some posts he made with direct personal attacks in a thread when a few members were questioning the information he was presenting.
The moderation team at TTDaily took a long time to decide how to respond to the scenario. Two members were given warnings for instigating. But those two members were questioning yogi's information. They were not making personal attacks about yogi. They did not use bad language and did not make personal attacks. Their comments were directed at the information presented not the person.
Yogi, in response made comments that were direct attacks about the people, not about their information, and he used so many bad words that should not have been used, that we are sad that it happened that way. As a result we needed to give yogi a temporary ban, if for nothing else, to let him cool down as he spends some time away from the forum. However, we do understand that yogi is an important member of the TTDaily community and gives a lot of excellent information and help to people who have equipment questions.
So, yogi will be back soon. But, because of a lapse in judgment, he just needs to be off the forum for a little while.
Thank you for understanding.
Yogi has been a very good forumer over the years. I was very surprised at the language in his posts. I got the feeling that something outside of the forum was bothering him.
To be fair, it was clear that yogi was not in his normal state, and he even mentioned that he was having a bad day, and yet, a member entered the discussion just to trigger yogi even more and then go “Hey Carl, are you going to let him do this?”, along with other nonsense accusations. So even if the other members didn’t use bad words, the bad intentions were evident.
I’m not questioning the mods decision, I’m just saying that pure bad intentions can be worse to a community than bad language.
How long will he be grounded? I'm itching to re-leak the pictures for Stiga's DNA series before the launch date which is less than 2 days away...
