What is meant by "In THe Brig"?

Florida Sailor · 10-15-07, 08:26 AM

I just saw a post in which Ducimus' avatar shows him "in the brig". Could someone enlighten me on what this is all about?
What does "in the brig" mean in the forum? I know what it is IRL.
Who puts you "in the brig"?
What offences put you there?
What did Ducmus do to get there?
Is this a gag?

Puzzeled and confused.....

Neal Stevens (owner of subsim.com) is the only person who can put a user in the Brig. This means that the user's account is disabled for a period of time, determined by Neal depending on the offence committed.

The Brig is the last resort, and truthfully, Neal hates to disable an account and really has to be shown that there is no other choice. A Moderator will only recommend the Brig if all other methods of persuasion have failed and a user continues to behave inappropriately.

It means the person has misbehaved in some way (my guess is SH3 vs SH4-debacle), and is not capable of posting for a while. A couple of weeks, probably.

Edit: Dang, TDK, change your nick to Lucky Luke!

It's the same as a "Ban" at other forums. But we keep a sea theme here..... :rotfl:

Thank you all for the explantion.
Or, as we say in the South, "Thanks y'all"

And it seems your not on the Captains roster either.

Did this happen over the weekend ?

Make sure you

steer clear of the brig. Lots of bad folks in there. Speaking of the brig, we had this one @$$hle that stabbed one of our Sailors pent up in there for a while. We all wanted to beat the crap out of him so bad. Poor girl was stabbed for no reason

I rather thought it was a bit of a joke... tongue-in-cheek sorta thing for Ducimus not wanting to continue development on TM. *helpless shrug* Just goes to show how much I know.

Edit: Saw the thread, and it certainly brings a bit of a somber light to the community. Man, why can't we just get along?

GT182 · 10-15-07, 07:44 PM

:hmm: I've been away for a bit, but hope all is well with Ducky and he's out of the Brig now.

At least the "Brig" isn't a permanent ban.... just a short time thing ta make ya pay attention and behave. LOL

More or less been this way for quite a while....with so much emotional investment in these mod works, its bound to have tempers ride high.

The permament ban is being Kheelhauled.

Not something to aim for. Neal only hands this after repeated warnings. If you want to see what brings this about, check this thread.

for an outright and final total ban there should be a court-martial held here in the forum. i don't see that Ducimus should be in the brig over that thread

John Channing · 10-16-07, 07:17 AM

Neal's house, Neal's bills... Neal's rules.

He had it. Isn't justice fast in subsim?

I just would love that real life justice would be that fast :hmm:
