Why was Hachiro banned? He made a contribution to Jref, much more than I have been recently, and he gets banned for it?

I'm confused....
 
Was he banned!? I didn't know.. Is his ban lifted or is he still banned?
 
He was banned for the flame-bait European coward threads he insisted on spamming and then trying to start an uprising over it.

Good riddance TBH. He knew exactly what he was doing but he refused to take his Europe thread to Eupedia if he cared so much about it.

He was just using it as an excuse to cause trouble.

Thats my take on it anyway.☝
 
If you.....

annoy the landlord, you can get evicted.

:eek:
 
😲........................................ :(
 
I hope it's temporary. He was a good contributor. I did notice he was trying to be more agreeable with Maciamo recently.
 
If everybody who gets banned gets a thread...oh boy...

He broke the rules on several occasion and kept persisting on posting his thread altough he knew well enough those kind of threads are Eupedia-material.

Frank, I appriciate your less then friendly with the leadership but you gotta make the distinction between bad moderating and dealing with problems properly.

Hach was **** stirring, simple as, we know what happens when Jref doesnt nip these problems in the bud, Hach wasnt backing down, and insisting on causing a problem, he got banned for it simple as.

Sorry but just because you dislike Maciamo/like Hach is a small price to pay to make sure Jref doesnt suffer yet another troll problem, lest we forget SVF and his imitators.

Sorry it bothers you guys:( , but I for one dont mind seeing him gone, he didnt heed advice to leave it when he kept pushing.

Heres how it went down...

1. Hachiro posts the European Cowards? thread, with a linked and quoted insulting rant about Europe.

2. Others respond, it slowly sinks into, as to be expected, a bush-fire.

3. A mod locks and deletes the thread.

4. Hachiro posts the thread again a few more times plus a post whinging about censorship and saying he will keep posting the thread, Ignoring the fact the mods (and I) inform him that the thread is flame-bait AND not Jrefs problem, its a Eupedia thread, simple as.

5. Hachiro refuses to accept this, starts complaining, and stating his refusal along the lines of "why should someone have to sign up to Eupedia to post this European related flame-bait thread there, if I'm not interested in Europe or Eupedia, censorship CENSORSHIIP!!11".

6. A mod decides that since despite his claim he's not interested in Europe apparently, he insists on posting this Europe political related flame-bait thread in Jref, and his behaviour to the mods decision, he should it seems got a ban, since he isnt accepting the decision and worse, deciding to escelate the situation and cause trouble.


The mods are 3v1l if they dont do anything, the mods are 3v1l if they DO do something.



If your just worried he got banned by Maciamo because of their tiff he didnt, he was banned by a mod because of his rule-breaking behaviour.

Jref isnt a scratching post for wannabe Fidel Castro's.

From what I read in his posts that got him banned, he was gunning for a fight, not an actual contribution.

I agree though he did seem to contribute (when he wasnt arguing with Maciamo, lol 😊 , but then who hasnt?) to the forum before he totaly went bad.
 
Just for info purposes only, what rule(s)?

Perhaps we should have a simple non-Japan-related section and confine those kinds of threads there. We don't need to start another Europedia section, just a "whatever's on your mind" section.
 
That would be the Chit chat section right??

As for Hachiro, he was banned by Maciamo on Eupedia, so he couldn't post it there. It may not have belonged here, but you can't use the argument that he should have posted it there!

Simply put Hachiro was miss-behaving big-time.

Though I agree the rules could be numbered or pointed and made cleaner.

Edit: I'll explain the bold text.

Hateful: The link he quoted in his thread was nothing more then an insulting hateful rant against all Europeans.

Inappropriate: The thread and its subject matter doesnt belong on Jref, simple as.

Repeatedly: He posted the same thread 3 times at least despite it getting shut down, and posted a rant informing us that he would keep doing it until he got his way.

Loss of Membership: Due to the above, and his sudden change in behaviour, a Mod deemed it necissary to disable his membership so he could no longer cause trouble, which he was basically trying to do.
its like someone who commits a small offense who instead of taking the ticket, kicks the cop in the groin and starts a riot, he was trying to cause trouble, possibly in the niave thought he could cause an uprising over his little thread.

I'll leave it to the mods now, I only comment because I saw most of his sudden fall from grace, he took the relatively small beans of a thread closure and tried to escelate it.

I understand he wasn't banned but asked to be removed. Although given enough time you never know what would have happened...:eek:
 
I was told he was banned, I didnt have any reason to disbelieve it since it was a mod who told me.
Ohwell. ☝

Edit: sorry, I didnt notice you were talknig about his Eupedia removal.

Do'h! 😌
 
Elizabeth, that may well be the case. I am unsure since I was banned from Eupedia. :)

Please understand I am not defending Hachiro's actions. But he started out friendly enough:

It's fascinating that this should come out of Europe. Mathias Dapfner,
>Chief Executive of the huge German publisher Axel Springer AG, has
>written a blistering attack in DIE WELT, Germany's largest daily paper,
>against the timid reaction of Europe in the face of the Islamic threat.

Now his post isn't flamatory, but the quote from the author is. He was spurring discussion amongst the European members of the Japan Forum. Was that so wrong? No. But his other actions were. If you are going to bad mouth him, do not do it because of the post in question, but rather the actions that followed.

There is quite a bit of content on this forum that is not Japan related.

Nurizeko, do not quote something from another forum (especially rules) without stating where it came from. You could very well quote JREF's own rules.

MUTUAL RESPECT
We built the Japan Forum on mutual respect. Feel at home and behave as if this forum is yours. Indeed, before you post pretend you run this forum: would you accept the message you intend to publish on your own forum? We encourage controversial discussion as long as you show respect to other members and their views/opinions. Avoid flaming and other offensive or profane behaviour. Don't launch personal attacks.

If you feel a discussion is getting out of hand contact the forum administrator or a moderator in order to resolve the issue.

WELCOME NEW MEMBERS
When new members arrive, welcome them to our community. Help them learn about how to find information and resources, so they will get involved in the community much faster and easier.

STAY ON TOPIC
Avoid posting messages that are out of context or irrelevant to a topic. While we encourage your participation, such posts will either be moved to another forum or deleted in order to ensure a thread's consistency.

AVOID DUPLICATE POSTS
Do not post the same message more than once on a forum or on many forum sections. Duplicate posts will be deleted. Reposting the same message repeatedly can be interpreted as spam and could result in the loss of your membership.

Now, it doesn't explicitly say anything about posting non Japanese topics. (only unrelated posts). Therefore he was not in the wrong to do so....he was wrong for pissing off the mods!

Furthermore, the admins had just said that they could not/would not delete entire threads because it would cause problems with the forum itself...then it was deleted. Contradictions are abundant here at JREF. He persisted with posting the thread, not because he wanted to discuss it so badly, but rather there seems to be no consistancy here. (my opinion...I haven't spoken with Hachiro)
 
*Notice to Admins* we may want to make the forum rules easier to find...maybe place the link near the reply window instead of at the bottom of the page?
 
I totally agree with CC1. Although I didn't like the thread he started because it was doomed to become a US-European bad-mouth thread, I don't think that could have been the reason the ban Hachiro.

I was unaware of his actions afterwards and if your version of the events is true Nuri then I can understand his banishment.

However, why wasn't he allowed to post the thread in the chit-chat section? We're all decent human beings and we can't just always talk about Japan, sometimes we like to chat about other things too. It might happen that the content of it fits better in Eupedia, but what if you want to discuss it with forum members you always discuss with? Aren't we "allowed" to discuss Europe-related matters now and then?

I can understand if someone constantly starts new discussions about Europe that he is informed on the existence of Eupedia and pushed towards that direction, but that wasn't the case was it?

This kind of reminds me a recent trend of some U.S. courts trying to cite foreign laws and court decisions when making their own court rulings.

Far from being a "first offense" or "sudden fall from grace," this looks to me like the last in a line of ill-tempered and ill considered provocations either in tone or action directed at mods and admins, even the good ones. :) There was a lot positive that she contributed but undoubtedly she had her lapses as well.
 
I have no problem with the thread he made (altough I knew it was going to end up messy), but here isn't the place to post European-related topics. For that reason Eupedia was made. If he is too stubborn to accept that, well...
 
Eupedia was made for other reasons, not only to move the European discussions. But I understand.

What do I do if I have a European related matter? I was banned from Eupedia (for incompatability reasons, not for misconduct). It can't go in the chit chat section? I am pretty certain had the same thread appear on Eupedia it would have met opposition anyway.
 
Have you talked to Thomas or Maciamo about it? I'm sure they can fix whatever went wrong :?

We need to develop a special case of "conscientious objectors" for JREF members that refuse to support Eupedia out of moral outrage and to show their disapproval for its management and policies. :p Perhaps Hachiro would have fit this category :?

No need to talk about it (I think). It was of Maciamo's choosing, because he and I bump heads too many times on this forum. He chose to ban me, and since it is his forum he has a right to do so. It does state that the ban will never be lifted! 😊
