Just bought my first skateboard.

I get that mods here are pretty quiet and hush hush, but frankly this is the type of scenario where they really should clear the air by either unbanning and apologizing to Dave, or clarifying the reason for his ban. IF Dave's post was as simple as saying he preferred trump to biden, there are no grounds for accusing him of racism and/or banning him. By no means did Dave ever imply he was a trump supporter. Additionally, this is not a community where a new outsider should immediately be banned for life, especially as you haven't created a firm ruleset nor given that user the benefit of the doubt. I think it's pretty fucking petty to ban someone over that comment unless there is something else that is unknown.

Mods let the thread on Trump vs Biden sit and didn't delete or close it. They created the problem by choosing to keep the thread open, but instead of closing it or deleting it, and choosing to bait trump supporters so they could ban them. I don't talk politics because it never ends well for anyone, it's just a bunch of idiots arguing about stuff they have no insight into yet feel compelled to attack others who feel the opposite way. This is a forum for a children's hobby revolving around a piece of wood, and the people who have dedicated their entire being to said hobby. I'm not going to use this forum if this is the type of stuff tolerated.

perfectly put. dave deserves to be unbanned

[Rick Trapasso]

To whichever mod that did this. U a whole goofy.

A straight up BUSTER even.

[EdLawndale]

Why are you guys caping for this bozo so hard?

If I saw this goofy motherfucker at a skatepark standing there filming an animal struggling as it died, adding some lame-ass commentary, in real life like I saw him post on the internet, trust me, I'd be in his face, tbi or no tbi.

Mods did us all a favor, as far as I'm concerned. The guy's a creep.

[Uh Oh]

B-b-b-but I like it here, everyone is so friendly!

God, you’re a fucking bitch

[GardenSkater77]

The biggest revelation for me is le Dave wasn’t a troll account. I’m so jaded I just assume all new users are just are just a current users burner account.

[Eric Dolphy]

i hate when some frog who gets to go to the doctor for free hits me with some "wow, it looks crazy over there ", i know dumb fuck i have to live here every day

Don’t be mad at him, be mad at the person negotiating yo deals

This is either a great troll, or the beginning of a new SLAP reference.

I feel you man haha.

[Sizzle]

This reminds me of that time that dude got banned for saying uncle flea posted like he had meth psychosis

[CossRooper]

you guys are tripping if you think this is the first time
mods have banned someone for some nonsensical personal reason, just saying

Maybe not, but this one definitely fucking sucks more than the others.

Unban him

[h00man]

apparently he was banned for racism. Not sure what he said, but if were racist, he deserves to stay banned.

[Steely Daniel]

To whichever mod that did this. U a whole goofy.

An entire clown

[corey websturd]

I love this picture.Brown on brown, the helmet, Monoploy in the shelf...Just perfect.

I really don’t care if he gets unbanned I just like using the term “a whole goofy”

[Hyliannightmare]

A tragic

[Pasta Monster]

It’s overreaching if what he said is true, because he didn’t give any reasoning as to why he would support Trump. If he said, “…because I hate ________ people,” or repeated Trump’s rhetoric about immigrants, I would get it.

[mj23]

i dont think ledave really *deserved* to be banned, but i'm still in favor of people being banned more often

what are internet forums for if not arcane stupid drama based on arbitrary rules? isn't that what skating is about as well?

fuck it, let's ban anyone who runs a youtube channel.

[Bandee]

has he been unbanned??

[LeDave]

Thanks everyone who had my side and those who were not. One thing I’ve learned, AVOID political discussions!

[Bandee]

welcome back dave! 

[Jogging José]

Yay - welcome back Dave! I  was making a little fun of you, but was fully on your side! You strike me as a decent guy with a true passion for Skateboarding (and Bokeh ).

[Lou Strux]

Watching SLAP rip itself apart like a basket star over LeDave has been pretty entertaining from an observer’s perspective.
Would not have guessed a rookie skater & newbie bloard user would be the spark that set so many passions ablaze.
Vegas bookmakers didn’t see this coming either. If I had I time machine I could be very wealthy right now as the result of just a few well placed bets last week.
Any old way, welcome back to @LeDave and all that.
Dave, I hope you’ve enjoyed scrolling through the last day or so of speculation regarding your temp ban.  Shit’s been a fun little ride to read, for which I am grateful to both you & the mod team.
 

[Dwayne Hoover]

fought the mods and won, respect

[JoseCansnake0]

DAVE! Let's go skate in MN

[ToySanta]

Thanks everyone who had my side and those who were not. One thing I’ve learned, AVOID political discussions!

If you haven’t learned to not trust, support, or repeat Trump then you have not learned anything. I hope your fans here are correct in their unfounded assumption that you can change your political beliefs. Any Trump supporter has earned their hell.

You are a kook and a half.

[Lou Strux]

fought the mods and won, respect

THAT’s one way of framing it, I suppose.
Or you could say that he unwittingly ran afoul of a moderator’s sense of bloard ethics & caught the hammer, where upon the mod had some time to reflect, and had a change of heart, so to speak.
If anybody fought the mods, it was the vocal group of Dave proponents here that voiced their disapproval in his absence.
This isn’t Quadrophenia & nobody’s actually “fighting mods.”
Whole lot of shout-typing, tho.

[JM]

Thanks everyone who had my side and those who were not. One thing I’ve learned, AVOID political discussions!

Yeah, my man. That is rule numero uno: talking politics is just never a good idea online. There’s just too much chance of misunderstandings.

Keep it to skate and having fun, and we’ll all be fine

Welcome back

[cornman]

Thank fucking God. Alpha Dave still owes me a video of him slowly slipping his foot into his new Walmart Etnies in a candle lit room that I already paid for.

[Rick Trapasso]

Hell yea, welcome back Dave.

Don't let this place get to you.

Most of the guys on here are total losers, myself included.
