Nobody's been banned here for just being a persistent tool. I can think of a few that fit that description that are still around. People hurl insults and are still around, go up to the line consistently and are still around. GSS, however, didn't care about the line.

Bingo

Oh, who was it this summer? Vonski? The guy that only cared about the downhill skier having the right of way? Banned for crossing the line and getting a bit personal, plus turning into a pure troll.

 

[gmcunni]

You're thinking of someone else, I think. Vonski is still a member here.

Yeah, thought so. But I think it was a similar name.

yeah, i just checked, he (vonski) doesn't seem to be banned.

so who's banned?

 

[bvibert]

Polariso is who you're thinking of I believe. Banned this past Dec.

Yes. We were waiting for him to complain about the inner circle before we banned him, but he forced our hand.

just reviewed the list. I'm not going to publish a wall a shame, but there's been about 12 members banned with this current software. Not sure how long this software has been around.

pretty much 1-2 members a year. Always after usually 10 or so warnings to cut the crap. There are some active members who have received many more warnings than that.

We don't ask people to be the virgin mary. Just show not even an ounce, but a gram of respect for the owner, the rules and the general community.

Apparently for a very vocal few members, that's too much to ask.

Why would powdr sell? Are they losing money or are they in the black since they've been operating it? The real estate market and general economy has only declined. I mean I know peple have been bitching about them and all with the shortened season etc. ....but where and what are the #'s?

 

[deadheadskier]

Powd'r will sell to a visionary, who will employ highwaystar's tarp snow preservation system and stay open until August off an upper mountain T Bar.

and there will be peace in the middle east

that is why Powd'r will sell

I am still here.

I don’t think it’s too much to ask at all, it is a very reasonable expectation. I don’t get why there has to be a life sentence without a chance of parole.

After almost 2 years what the hell would be so bad about giving the guy another chance? If he acts up again then just ban him again...its not hard. I usually can see both sides of an issue, but with this policy I just can not.

Someone just tell me where the harm would there be in giving GSS a chance to do better? I'm sure everybody who posts here have freaked up at something in their lives and got a chance to redeem themselves.

I'm still hoping Nick or a mod will answer the questions I asked awhile ago in this thread.

 

[mondeo]

The old policy was once you're banned, you're banned. I think Nick's still taking it slow, I don't think he wants to start off with a lightning rod unban. OSME was a much less polarizing figure, a way to test the unban waters without rocking the boat.

Just my take on things.

So I've skied a lot with Doug the past few seasons and I've gotten to know him a bit as well. In person, he's harmless, albeit not always appropriate. You really can't take him too seriously either. He's a funny guy, even when he's not trying to be. On the snow, he's a pretty talented skier. Not many people can carve on 110mm sticks at Blue Mountain. If you meet up with him on a pow day, and he'll show you a new stash or two.

I think he's made some recent positive improvements in his live and genuinely wants to share he skiing (and ever thought that creeps into his brain about skiing) with everyone again. I also think he's sorry for what happened, but his pride might be getting in the way. Even though he's been IP banned, he's learned how to proxy around that, and lurks here sometimes. I even sent him a link to thread earlier. I don't know of anyone who has a passion for our sport as much as Doug does.

I've been entertained by Doug since his "SallyDoug" days on rec.skiing.alpine. As a teen on his sister's PC, he was hilarious. Now that he's 30, the sophomoric behavior is somewhat contrived but it's still entertaining. I think AlpineZone would be a lot better off allowing him back on the site.

Powdr is making $$$$ with Killington and they are clearly investing alot of those dollars back into the mountain. Good for them. Can't see them selling the place, ever. It's become a cash cow for them as illustrated by the amount of $$$ they're re-investing back into the place. New Skye peak Quad, New Peak Lodge, numerous snowmaking upgrades, Peak Walkway, etc.

No, I do not have exact fiugres, or any figures for that matter, so don't ask. Strictly an observation.
