Poster Logoface, who has made sixteen posts total in several fora, nearly all hateful or insulting, and who has refused requests from multiple moderators to edit posts, has been suspended from posting at Ex Isle.

If Logoface has questions he/she may contact admin@exisle.net.

Thank you,
Kathy

Oh how I dislike the use of AOL speak.

Yeah after reading over his/her posts I can see why the staff issued a suspension.

BTW you didn’t mention how long this suspension is going to last for.

The difference being when I use LEET I can go back to normal English. Those who use AOL speak usually are unable to post in normal English.

Not AOL speech... I attribute it more to text messaging on Cellphones. Many of us that used/are members of AOL tend to be able to type coherantly.

Personally, I attribute it to sheer laziness.

I couldn't write like that if I tried. :Oo:
It's a shame Ex Isle eventually became worse than the SlipstreamBBS. But the revolution always eats its own.

^^ Yeah, I use AOL and I post coherently! I even use capitals.

I can also use l33t but I don't all the time. Only when we're goofing off or when I'm taking notes in Art class.

Actually AOL speak comes from the AOL chatrooms not regular AOL subscribers.

Oh and I’m sorry to hear that you use AOL.

So am I dear...

I use it as a back up e-mail app for me and let my 10-yr daughter use it for e-mail to her father. The only program I know with heavy parental controls. As for ISP, Verizon...

I don't use AOL for my internet service... just IMing and the odd email and I like those AIM Today things with the news stories.

I am hopelessly old and uncool, but what is l33t? I see it substitutes numbers for letters, but is it more than that?

L33t speak...

Leet. Trust me Cardie, while the users think it's cool, there are a number of people out there that feel it's usage is just plain ignorant. (Present company excluded) It's primarily used by the punk gamers.

Unlike the more mature gamers that tell them to speak English.

Apparently, leet speak first evolved as a way for hackers to post things online without search engines being able to find them. Then it spread like a virus and is now "cool" in some circles. At least that's what I've heard.

Anyone who manages to get themselves banned in under 20 posts needs to be banned for good. The only possible reason for being here was to cause trouble.



I hate internet speak. I may use it in a hurry, but I try not to use at all.

LF really worked hard for it.

Well, most of that poster's comments were either very negative, or just blatant attacks meant to hurt people. That sort of childish behavior I am glad got stopped. At least for as long as the suspension lasts. I think it was fair. I don't think we should be so quick to ban people anyway (which, from what I understand, LF isn't). Maybe I'm just naiive. When and if Logoface dicides to come back, I hope things will be better.

That remains to be seen.

I've ripped apart people like this that were given chance after chance and continued to say "F-you Admins."

And I'm the tame one of the bunch so you can imagine the gamut from a diatribe in the Queen's English that uses no vulgarity to a scathing set down using every swear in the book.

The suspension will remain in force indefinitely.

There's some question about the possibility of a dual or hack going on here, so it's partially a security issue.


Thanks,
