A decesion has been made by the PF staff and myself to respectfully discontinue Lifegazer's member status. We feel his negative impact on the forums needed to be delt with. Lifegazer has been contacted and there are no hard feelings.

Are you serious? WOW!
Based on what I've seen I agree, and I'm happy to know the admins here are actively keeping up with the forums. Normally someone like LIFE is around because admins just don't bother the time.
Very happy to be here!

It's a shame he decided to leave. (he did leave volountarily, right?)
Thanks anyway Tom, I wanted to express my best wishes to LG 'cause it’s unlikely I will ever hear from him again. I didn't really have anything to talk to him about, MIND you.Originally posted by Tom
You guys,
LG is not dead, he just won't be at PF anymore. If you want to talk to him...

BH,
Hey, give whatever well-wishes to him that you want here. I wasn't talking about your post so much as Mentat's. From the mournful tone of it, you would think that we had had LG executed!

You didn't ban Iachuss,
for example, although all he posts is
just God God God.
LG actually discussed
a very wide variety of topics and certainly
expressed many usefull and amongst them
many correct PoV.
Further more, he was always nice to people and
I don't think there was a single case when
he intentionally attempted to insult someone
or somebody's PoV. I don't think he ever
violated any PF Guidelines either.

There are numerous people who should be banned, if banning is an action you think reasonable, that should have been banned before someone like LG.
If the problem was the amount of reviewing required, you should have warned him, and perhaps looked at the submitters, perhaps they felt insulted by his posts, as he dealt with Philosophy and God, which is a touchy subject.
Crazy World Get blocked from a forum just because people don't take kindly to your opinions
LG, if you're reading this I wish you all
the best and remember there are many other
forums out there (though PF's great !) and
many other usernames.

We do think it is reasonable. If you think there are others who should not be here, then register a complaint with one of us and we will look into it.
He was warned repeatedly--both in the threads and by private messages--not to post his crackpot theories at PF. Having completely disregarded the warnings, he continued doing what he was doing.
That is very much not the reason he was banned. He was sent away because of his hard headed refusal to learn, coupled with his equally hard headed refusal to stop posting his flawed ideas (particluarly on scientific subjects) at PF.

I was referring to, if you think it is reasonable to ban someone due to the way LG behaved.
People are banned because their ideas are flawed, and they don't see it,
hmm...why is there even a religious part of PF then?
I see. Well, I guess this is indeed a prettyOriginally posted by Tom
Yes, he did discuss a wide variety of topics.
Among them included relativity, quantum
mechanics, evolution, biochemistry, cognitive
science, logic, and epistemology. And herein
lies the entire problem: He was rewriting all
of these subjects to suit his religious beliefs.
PF is supposed to be a place where people come
to be educated. If people (particularly young
people) listen to him, it serves only to hamper
the educational process, not help it. That is
why the Mentors (especially me) felt the need
to get involved, and eventually we simply tired
of it. LG simply refused to learn from our
explanations why he is so badly mistaken on just
about every subject on which he tried to debate.
Hi,
I didn't want to clutter up the board with another "Hi, I'm new!" thread, so I looked for the most recent one.
I'm new to this board, and to philosophy. I've been getting into it at physicsforums.com (where I am simply "Tom". I wanted that name here too, but some no good $#@%$ already took it. j/k). This looks like a lively board, and I am looking forward to being active in it.
Tom
Your welcome here so long as you don't bring lifegazer

It is fun to see him over at @ 'the other forum' and watch as ~they~ attempt to explain "things" to 'him'. I wonder how #long# it will take be-fore "they" take to beating *their* heads against the MIND, err I mean WALL.Originally posted by Tom
###Yes###, there ~may-be~ many other user-names '''but''' there is no-way to cover up his !@profuse@! usage of strange-emphatic-font, nor his erratic over-use of hyph-en-at-ed words. We'd spot him sooner or later.

"Lifegazer's Departure" refers to the departure of a member from the PF (Professional Forum) staff or their self-discontinuation from their member status. This is important because it can affect the dynamics and operations of the PF community.
A member becomes a part of the PF staff by being nominated by current staff members and then going through a voting process by the rest of the staff. Once a member is elected, they are given specific responsibilities and duties within the community.
Self-discontinuation is when a member voluntarily chooses to discontinue their member status in the PF community. This can happen for various reasons such as personal reasons, lack of time, or wanting to move on to other endeavors.
The departure of a staff member can affect the PF community in various ways. It can lead to a change in leadership, a shift in responsibilities, and a change in the overall dynamics of the community. It can also affect the community's trust and confidence in the remaining staff members.
Yes, there is a process for a member to return to their staff or member status after self-discontinuation. They can reach out to the current staff members and express their interest in returning. The staff will then discuss and vote on whether to allow the member to return or not.
