content: Quote from: sprok on October 08, 2017, 12:42:24 pmYou just answered your own question.Louis Rossmann is not one to suffer inane ramblings - and he is not scared to call the shots as he sees it. He's handled the likes of Apple prancing about in menacing manner - so he's not going to be worried about cutting you loose.I like his straight forward, no bullshit approach. In a world where PC has gone too far in some directions, he has the strength of character to call out crap and bull for what it is. It is also worth noting that he is very well aware of where the limits are - and I can't say I have ever seen him go off in an uncontrolled rant. Yes, he will rant - but I haven't sen him "lose it".He is a down to Earth guy - and there should be more like him in the world...... and less drunks.

content: I'll rephrase it. What is it with this sprok guy? (also, YouTube) because I cannot think about you as a wise person who does research when has an issue. Instead feels offended and cries out lout. What happens is, most likely, youtube flags your comments as spam and this has nothing to do with Louis at all. If you were banned on his youtube channel you would see a clear message about it.Edit: apparently youtube changed banning to hiding at some point of time around 2015-2016. However it does not exclude high possibility of going into spam. Regardless of this if there was some rude comment, it is no way extraordinary to get banned, and large channels indeed do this to weed out rude idiots and trolls.

content: Quote from: sprok on October 08, 2017, 02:23:18 pmIf the point you made in that discussion had any technical merit, I'm sure those harsh words in it would have been tolerated. But if it's just adolescent bullshit, or personal attacks, or excessive use of profanity, then, well, some channels will tolerate it, others won't ... Both are valid courses of action. Perhaps you should try writing comments that have something to contribute to the discussion, at least for a whilte, and you might be pleasantly surprised by seeing that you aren't banned during that time

Maybe he's had to deal with countless of people with similar remarks, devolving into discussions that lead nowhere. At this point I'm not even sure you've actually been banned, or that it's some sort of weird Youtube bug or feature.He frequents these forums too, so maybe you'll get a straight answer. Until then, lessons learned, I guess.

Getting, in your own words, banned and then complaining about it here isn't making your case for you. Ragging on someone because he supposedly did something after you made, to your own admission, a drunk and asinine comment isn't either.

However, as been stated, he doesn't suffer 'fools' well. Waddaya expect, he's a New Yawker! ( says the Jersey boy with Brooklyn accent) Fuggeddaboutdit.

In the end, I just had to admit to myself I was to blame, but it's that much easier to blame everyone else. Anyone else. Just not yourself.I've done that a few times before I could finally bear to look into that mirror. And I'm probably not out of the woods yet either. Pride is a fickle thing.

There are some famous exceptions, for example Steve Shives who just bans everyone who doesn't agree and uses automated banning bots as well.

content: Considering the potential for aggressive discussion, I will only make one post on this subject - however, Idomake it because of the seriousness of that subject.It is founded on the admission:Quote from: sprok on October 08, 2017, 12:42:24 pm... andeverything which is revealedin it.Not everyone who has a bad day turns to their drug of choice to hide from their woes. (and, yes, argue all you like, but alcohol is a drug no matter how loud or long you may want to complain.) While I am not going to crusade the evils of such indulgence, I do draw the line in regards to how far the effects extend. Keep it within the bounds of your private space and I will not bother you - but bring it into the world where the rest of us live and then you and I may have a problem...Nevertheless, the fact is that someone on the internet slapped you on the wrist - very lightly, I may add - and you came here for what can only be interpreted as wanting to have you bruised ego propped up by our support. Here is where my problem with you begins.......While I concede that people do silly things when "under the influence" I can understand that as thereason- but I cannot accept that as anexcuse. If you do something silly and are embarrassed by it, then I hope you learn from it - but if you choose to try andexcuseyourself from the responsibility of that sillinessbecauseyou were drunk, then you represent a risk to society. Some of those risks are minor - such as falling asleep in the back of a car - others are less so - like falling asleep in the driver's seat.Here is where I have the biggest problem - and it comes from a real-life, personal experience...Some years ago I knew a young couple who were the sort of people you would be happy to know. They were kind, helpful and had a bright future ahead of them. That was until they were travelling along a motorway here in Sydney one night. A drunk had got behind the wheel and ended up travelling down anexitramp and entered the motorway going the wrong way. This drunk then collided head on with the couple. They both died and the drunk survived.From what followed, it was clear the drunk wanted to claim his drunkenness as an excuse for his actions... just like you have.What underlines this as a real problem is the fact that you feel the need to include "practically everyone" in your search for support. This is bullshit. I've had my share of "bad days". Burying a 4 week old son was one - but I never reached for a bottle to hide in. The truth is, in my experience, the vast majority of people who have "bad days" don't get drunk. They go for a run, spend time with their family, lose themselves in a hobby or do some gardening. There are a lot of options that don't involve drunkenness - but I understand there are some that head straight for the bottle.If there is a background where PTSD or some other major problem has become an issue, then seek help. It is not fair on everyone else around you to have to put up with the consequences if you don't.I can deal with a great many things that people do - when they accept the responsibility that goes with it, but seeking to hide behind the bottle is, in my book, beyond contempt.If anyone feels that I have made accusations against someone about actions that have never been perpetrated by that person, then you have missed my point.Theymay have never been involved in such things ... but the same attitude as theirshas.As a post script to the above, I have never seen the sense in getting drunk. I have seen others who have written themselves off and one I saw in the street who was, quite literally, legless. Even with a friend trying to help and a building to lean on, this guy simply could not get his legs to stay under his torso. Why??? Another time I had a 23 y.o. working for me and somehow the discussion got onto drinking. He could simply not believe that I had never been "off my face". It was a concept that was completely outside his comprehension. When I asked him whywouldyou, his response was a very convincing ... "B.. B... Because!"For those who may think I am strange, I have had the odd drink - but I have never really found the taste of any of it to my liking. As a result, if I go out for "drinks" with some co-workers, my drink of choice is a lemon squash. The first time I did this in one employ, my boss was getting a round and when he asked my what I was having, I said "a lemon squash". His face screwed up as if I had just shoved a dog turd in his face - but I said "I'm here to enjoy a drink with the team. I will enjoy a lemon squash." He got used to the idea pretty quickly.Edit: Spelling

content: Louis posts a lot of videos and gets a lots of feedback. I'm not sure how he does both! He's doesn't have time to baby sit each person vying for attention. There's lots of people hiding behind the computer screen posting less than nice retorts to just about anything somebody writes just to score points in their own minds. It gets old after awhile and banning is natures way of curing having to put up with flamers. Life's just too short to have to put up with the buttheads of the world. So sitting in front of of a monitor late at night and feeling snarky can lead to posts that come across a lot stronger than intended. What might seem to be a witty retort can feel like bullying to the receiver. So it pays to think twice, write once and also try to figure out what the other person will read vs. what you think you wrote. It also pays to write a few constructive replies so the receiver knows you a bit better before attempting to post a wise-ass retort, then the other person can use better judgement in guessing if it's humor or a flamer at the other end.Though the Code of the West was always unwritten, here is a “loose” list of some of the guidelines:Don’t inquire into a person’s past. Take the measure of a man for what he is today.Never steal another man’s horse. A horse thief pays with his life.Defend yourself whenever necessary.Look out for your own.Remove your guns before sitting at the dining table.Never order anything weaker than whiskey.Don’t make a threat without expecting dire consequences.Never pass anyone on the trail without saying “Howdy”.When approaching someone from behind, give a loud greeting before you get within shooting range.Don’t wave at a man on a horse, as it might spook the horse. A nod is the proper greeting.After you pass someone on the trail, don’t look back at him. It implies you don’t trust him.Riding another man’s horse without his permission is nearly as bad as making love to his wife. Never even bother another man’s horse.Always fill your whiskey glass to the brim.A cowboy doesn’t talk much; he saves his breath for breathing.No matter how weary and hungry you are after a long day in the saddle, always tend to your horse’s needs before your own, and get your horse some feed before you eat.Cuss all you want, but only around men, horses and cows.Complain about the cooking and you become the cook.Always drink your whiskey with your gun hand, to show your friendly intentions.Do not practice ingratitude.A cowboy is pleasant even when out of sorts. Complaining is what quitters do, and cowboys hate quitters.Always be courageous. Cowards aren’t tolerated in any outfit worth its salt.A cowboy always helps someone in need, even a stranger or an enemy.Never try on another man’s hat.Be hospitable to strangers. Anyone who wanders in, including an enemy, is welcome at the dinner table. The same was true for riders who joined cowboys on the range.Give your enemy a fighting chance.Never wake another man by shaking or touching him, as he might wake suddenly and shoot you.Real cowboys are modest. A braggert who is “all gurgle and no guts” is not tolerated.Be there for a friend when he needs you.Drinking on duty is grounds for instant dismissal and blacklisting.A cowboy is loyal to his “brand,” to his friends, and those he rides with.Never shoot an unarmed or unwarned enemy. This was also known as “the rattlesnake code”: always warn before you strike. However, if a man was being stalked, this could be ignored.Never shoot a woman no matter what.Consideration for others is central to the code, such as: Don’t stir up dust around the chuck wagon, don’t wake up the wrong man for herd duty, etc.Respect the land and the environment by not smoking in hazardous fire areas, disfiguring rocks, trees, or other natural areas.Honesty is absolute – your word is your bond, a handshake is more binding than a contract.Live by the Golden Rule.

content: Maybe paid trolls are deliberately trying to get his goat.?One of the most common ways pro sock puppets destroy intelligent conversations on issues is they descend on threads and have endless conversations with one another off topic. Some people have theorized they may use two Eliza bots.It makes intelligent conversations impossible, replacing discussion with long threads of garbage, a particular characteristic 'echo chamber' look that may semantically seem like correct grammar but which makes no sense in the context of the set of facts they want to drown out discussion of.. Around 2010 it seems their tactics changed to use that approach less.. Seems they got most of what they wanted.. Kind of like the Borg.But when pockets of resistance are found, it is still done.

It just seems people keep their objections to themselves often, leading to no net improvement at all. If you tell people about the problem you're having, they may very well rectify it. If you just keep it to yourself, there is no chance of improvement. It doesn't help future guests either.I've seen it often enough. You go out to correct or improve on something and then people suddenly comment they've had that problem for months or even years. If they would have come to me right away, it probably would have been fixed rather quickly. Somehow it seems to surprise people I'm not omnipotent.

content: Quote from: Mr. Scram on October 10, 2017, 05:18:31 amAs I said ... "I understand that principle" - and that is certainly valid in many situations.However, I do not believe it is appropriate in this case. The OP has given no details about what he said, let alone provide any compelling case to back it up. He has admitted to doing something when drunk - and the specific lack of detail indicates to me that he didn't think it had much, if any, merit. Either that, or he was so out of it, he could not remember. Either way, it does not shape up as something worth listening to.More particularly, the restaurant analogy is not appropriate, since the feedback issue you refer to is directly related to the purpose of the restaurant - to serve customers and make a profit. Louis Rossmann makes his money by repairing hardware and only produces Youtube content as a sideline. If Louis has any feedback he needs to pay heed to, it will be from a customer on the other side of his counter.

I really like following and interacting with it. I get 200-300 viewers sometimes, 600-800 other times, and on rare occasion 1800-2000 live viewers. Dave probably gets even more since he has a vastly more popular channel.If there's 600 live viewers and even 10% of them leave 1 comment per minute, that is 1 comment per second. That's impossible to read even if I wasnottrying to simultaneously repair something in a microscope, while read comments out of my peripheral vision.So if I see anything even remotely dumb being posted repeatedly, OR I see someone copying and pasting the same thing over and over again, I hit ban. The threshold for that is way lower on livestreams since the luxury of time to sift through and respond to things isn't there. The more silly comments, the less I can focus on the good ones. I figure, since I can't read all the comments anyway, I will have to skip things, and I'd rather it not be good ones I am skipping.On youtube comments, I used to keep them all there until around early 2016. I liked having a comments section where people could read through, learn, ask real questions, etc. this was interrupted by a bunch of trollery nonsense. The way I work it is if it's not the way we'd have discourse in person, or it's not what I'd let into my living room, I spam it. Long or well thought out criticisms are fine but when it turns into a rage or insult fest I hit spam so it's a usable comment stream. People say this is anti freedom of speech but that is what the little up arrow in the corner is for.. anyone can upload their speech to youtube. Just not in my comments section.Onto the way youtube works.1) I do not have access to a list of people banned from chatting in livestreams. If I ban someone from commenting on videos, there's a list for that.Youtube provides no list of people banned from chatting on livestreams.I have no way to go in after-the-fact and "reset" this list. The only way to do this is to go to that user's individual page and unban them, but how do you know their page if you have no list with their name?2) Unlike platforms like twitch, there is no way to see the chat of a stream after the fact. Let's say I did hit ban for the wrong reason, or was just in a bad mood and someone says"that wasn't fair - let me back in! I didn't say anything wrong!"I have no way of checking what they said... maybe they just said "Hi Louis", maybe they said"pedos do nothing wrong". There's no way to check any of this.Youtube is an excellent video hosting platform, and an excellent content recommendation platform. However, the user communication side of Youtube hasno idea how people communicateand is pretty awful about giving content creators the tools to deal with this kinda stuff properly.That being said, if any youtuber genuinely bans you from live chat for a dumb reason, don't take it personally, it is impossible to read all these comments when you get over 100-200 live viewers. If we didn't unban afterwards, definitely don't take it personally, and my apologies if it made you feel badly. Just make some other throwaway google acct and join the next one.

content: Louis - a very objective and clear explanation about the practicalities involved.I would recommend this for anyone who may have similar feelings about such actions taken against them.Thisshouldmake things clear to the OP - but their actions and responses would suggest to me they would still be more likely to try and "win" than accept responsibility for their behaviour.Quote from: lundmar on February 11, 2018, 01:10:51 am+1

content: Gotta love the internet... The idio... *ahem* dude that started this thread incidentally gives a platform for his target to provide an absolutely clear, concise and, most of all,reasonableresponse to his attacks. Louis' response even gave me a great idea to deal with the comments on my own small channel. Thanks!This thread was a cringe fest from the beginning - if anything, it served to sprinkle some more reason to the world (lacking so much of that lately...)
