My philosophy is a warning or infraction, followed by either a second infraction or 3 day ban depending on the nature of the problem. After that it is either a 2 week vacation or permabanned depending on what I feel is necessary. Specific punishments given to specific users are confidential, however.

Spammers are permabanned immediately.

Thanks for the comprehensive explanation K. You're good at this stuff !!

I assume everyone else understood the very obvious "meet the old boss, same as the old boss" theme in LAND?

Curious how most if not all members of the He-Men Zombie-Haters Survival Club will adamantly stick by his or her family. The truth is, there is absolutely nothing special about one's family and anyone that actually walks the walk realizes that blind devotion to family is a weakness that would prove to be the greatest liability.

No worries, Scipio--you're welcome to hang with me when there's no more room in Hell. Survival at the expense of humanity is not worth living.

I would sure love to know how one certain person continues to spew his B/S, always has members calling him out, doesnt have a single person on here that can stand him that I know of, but continues to manage to hang around and avoid the ban hammer. Amazing!

I am sure that person skirts the boundaries in most cases and is very bright about it. I am only one supermod of 5 plus 2 Administrators so if it is that rampant you as members should be reporting posts more than you have been.

Now why would we want to do that and miss out on the entertainment?

I think the funniest thing about this whole discussion is how Ned and Khardis both approach the whole "I will kill you and take what I want" attitude with an air of certainty that they would actually come out on top in the fight.

They speak as if it isnt even a question of WHO would win the fight, they are SOOOOO good at ahuntin and atrappin and akillin that no one would ever possibly be able to out shoot them, or out fight them.

Its so funny watching internet tough guys puff out their chests and brag to the interwebs about how "BAD" they are.

I can tell you right now, Those two wannabes would never last in redneck tennessee hill country. You'd get your little NRA asses blown off by a hick with a shotgun! New Engladers talking about guns and survival,

I was partial to:

"LAME BRAINS!!!!"

That film had the most stellar writing for insults.

EvilNed and Khardis aren't the only ones doing that. The anti-them crowd keeps claiming they would "win the battle" against them, as well.

We have seen how things would work. Nobody can agree, and it's all-out anarchy amongst a few types of groups and individuals:

1. Group that puts "the good of the many" (with them deciding what's "good for the many", of course) first, to the extent of squashing all individual "rights". Example is EvilNed.

2. People that simply want to survive "by any means necessary". Doesn't matter what they have to do to get what they need/want, they'll stop at nothing to obtain it. Example is Khardis.

3. Groups and individuals that perceive things in their area as "theirs" (the Flyboy mentality), and don't want to hear about the rest of the human race. As long as they have enough, everyone else can find their own supplies. Example is Wooley.

And across the board, no matter what camp or how they preach "morality", every one of these groups will simply shoot dissenters in the back of the head. Example of this is Dillinger.

And these people can not "just get along". There will be nothing but open warfare until only one group remains alive.

I get what your saying, but I was more referring to the absoluteness of thier comments. Its not IF I win the fight and take your stuff, its WHEN I win the fight and take your stuff, thus my comment about them getting thier asses handed to them by them good ole TN redneck boys....(Of which I do not claim to be one, but I know plenty that would put those two posers in thier place real quick!)

lol, its because we accept facts, to us its going to be survive, or not survive. If I don't survive I don't need to worry about it, so for me losing wouldn't be an option.

With that abandon in such a situation, there are moral codes I don't need to worry about like you civilized, socialized types. I can do whatever must be done for me to win, even if it means poisoning your TN Hillbillies water well or food supply and letting them die without knowing why they are dying and who caused it. Capiche?

Only a fool would attack head on a fortress with only a few in his army and many in your enemies armies. As someone who will avoid civilization and destroy it if needed to get what we need, i would of course use Subterfuge, Chaos, Guerilla and covert tactics. You wouldn't even know why your gates are being damage at night or why your barns are burning or how come everyone is dying from poisoned water.

So this means you'll be abandoning and/or killing off your family? Certainly you've accepted the fact that they would be a liability to your survival.

Sure they would because you just informed everyone. Will all of your tactics be as equally 'covert'?

My family will be y 1 liability.

And most of my tactics would be equally covert.
