It's down here now that you mention it...

It looks like they are up now.

It's alive.
If there are users posting and other users can't see those posts it's because the admin set that user coventry goes gentry. That means the user can post post post all day but only he can see his posts. Too funny!

Medikush had it coming when he insulted clone vendors who knew Gypsy and sold his wares.

There's a vocal contingent at IC that feels bay area clones are crappy genetics and not all of them are shills. They push the seeds at every turn whoever they are. It's not really a major concern.

I'm a bit more concerned over the lack of moderation that allows all the insults and worse.

SCF has been named mod of the med area over there I think he is the right canidate.

Roguedude joins Medikush on the coventry go gentry setting.

coventry go gentry? why is it called that?
I'm glad they did that. Those guys can just take it outside.

Okay let's get to the bottom of this.
First off I screwed up, it's actually called 'TACHY goes COVENTRY'. Now to me that name still doesn't make much sense. Apparently it doesn't make sense to other admins either because there is a thread devoted to this over at the vbull forums.

Quote:

I believe it refers to being sent to coventry.

Cov·en·try: n.
A state of ostracism or exile

Its a UK thing as I understand it.

The setting puts a user on global ignore. So he can post, but he's the only one that can see the posts. Typical scenarios look like this.

user1: What happened to user2? I clicked his new thread and it said the thread didn't exist.
user2: Nothing happened to me I'm right here...
user1: Oh he must be banned

This is a great setting for spam bots because they continue to add stats to an admin's bottom line but never accomplish their spam mission.

For users this isn't so great of a setting. Within a day or 2 they figure out they've been sent to exhile island and just get pissed.
