Matt: I confess I am guilty of personal battles with DABOSS and Judodog and throw myself of the mercy of the court.

Having been chastised by the court, I will do my best to refrain from such infractions.

Is the court offering mercy today, or do I need to call Gloria Alred?

Fine you have made your point. That is no way to treat paying customers. 24hrs ain't gonna make a difference except get them pissier against iHub & iHub ADMIN. They should be let out now, IMHO.

Matt, isn't the point of the Jailhouse to have people own up to their "mistakes" or violation of the User Agreement, and indicate they will make an effort to correct their transgressions?

If so, isn't that handled on a case-by-case basis, not a "group" trial, where everyone is limited to how much they can say?

You have chastised FoF publically, and she apparently has "got the message". She has not been jailed before, and is a paid subscriber. What more will you get from her by waiting another day.

As to some of the others you incarcerated, clearly they are not getting the message, and even another 24 hours may not be enough for them.

Have another KKD or Tim Hortons, and perhaps reconsider.

p.s. Clearly I'm not aware of what FoF has done, but you seem to have in the past let people out who have been less responsive to their "transgressions".

Matt: Not all of the trangessions were at the same level. There were some that repeatedly taunted others with posts and gifs that could be taken in not other way than a direct personal attack.

Yes, I took judodog's bait and responded about his repeated harassment. I now realize that those posts were OT and a violation of your TOU. It is my fault for not execising self-control in the face of direct attacks. I also gave a mother-hen lecture to DABOSS. Lessons learned.

However, I believe it is unfair for you to give me the same punishment as those who went on direct attacks. I have followed your rules for jail and have received no consideration.

It's doubtful that some of your other prisoners will be humble enough to admit they did anything wrong, yet it sounds like you intend to release us all together in 24 hours, whether or not we accept that we transgressed.

I wasn't upset about being jailed until I saw how you intend to handle this. It is contrary to my understanding of your purpose for jail.

I'd also like to point out, that unlike most of the others you jailed, I am not a one-board poster. Other than Sox, most of the others you jailed only use your bandwidth on the EDIG board. The only reason I decided to pay for a premium membership was to be able to enjoy posting on the fun boards here. EDIG is a drag, but I hate seeing false hype perpetuated, so I post there too.

I also can not remember any TOU violations committed by SoxFan yesterday. I guess I missed it.

Anyway, it's your playground.
