Mods lying/deleting threads for no reason

**bodidley** · 06-24-2005, 04:44

It seems to me that this is an endangered thread...

While I certainly sypathize with your plight, and I think your ban might have been unfair, and I also think that you should have at least been better informed (if the ban doesn't inform the member how to behave then it's a useless measure) I have to question the wisdom of circumventing a ban and then announcing it. Why not lodge a complaint when the ban is up or PM a mod, or even an admin? It's even possible that the ban was a mistake, but ban circumvention is a far more serious issue.

because I was banned unjustifiably...

therefore I have taken it upon myself to set the rules, since at least one mod cannot do so with responsibility.

This was the only way to prove the point...I will not wait until AFTER an unjust ban is administered to deal with it...that's very defeating of the purpose.

Come on now lets be fair, I researched the topic and this post in this thread The Thread
was enough to get banned on, infact quite more than enough. You know use of cursing is very very discouraged outside of the backroom, and then even there its kept to a very low amount.

Not to mention the constant bashing of CA, which has been stated that it will not be tolerated, and the bump of that one post, which is aswell against the rules. I have found many offenses here.

Just like you did before (by not reading) you're missing the point.

One usage of the word "shit" (heard in every aspect of society, television, bars/pubs, books daily) is not enough to be banned for 2 days.

Please stop replying before understanding the whole situation...re-read my original post.

my god...

My first post was incorrect true, you got me on that, but I now totally understand what is going on.

HorseArcher2 · 06-24-2005, 04:58

you need FIVE (can you read? FIVE (5) warning points to be banned, I've read my own warning point sheet and it only amounts to 4...

2 of which have absolutely no reference to anything...they were just tallied on by a mod...

1 was given for using the word "retarded"

0 were given for the post that you claim is "more than enough to be banned on"

again...please re-read my first post on this thread, and stop replying without a clue, so you don't need to apologize for a second time.

Thank You (the main point of this thread is for a mod to respond, not another forum poster as they obviously cannot answer the question as to why a mod did what I'm accusing them of doing)

hey simetrical...thank you for the fairness.

and check your personal messages, I sent you one regarding a 6 month ban or whatever...

I will add that just as in here, I've been openly and freely posting on twcenter.net since you "banned" me as well...many people circumvent those bans as well...they're useless.

Not only that, but you've actually applauded many of my threads since you've "banned" me and agreed on many of my posts...

should tell you something shouldn't it?

back to this...as we both agree, I didn't do anything to deserve a ban here.

HorseArcher2-san,

I asked that your account of BrutalDictatorship be banned for direct violation of the Orgs rules:

Posts containing any generally objectionable material: knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. Posting of copyrighted material, unless the copyright is owned by you or by The Guild, is discouraged. The Guild expects its patrons to remain civil even in the face of disagreements. Any kind of "flaming", slurs or insults adressed to an individual or a group is extremely inappropriate. Please respect etiquette at all times.

The exact issue is that you referred to others as Nazis. If you have an issue with the Ban the best place to post it is in the Watchtower forum. If you notice our Bans are not on people but accounts.

Regards,
Papewaio

It's not my place to defend the mods, but I do have a couple of points...

If you have a problem with the mods then the thing to do is PM them, discussion on a thread is a clumsy way of dealing with it.

I'd also check out the forum rules if I were you.

This is in the wrong forum, try the watchtower.

Just my tuppenth worth...

EDIT: Pape beat me to it ....

As someone who banned BrutalDictatorship for six months from TWC (with, I might add, a clear reason sent to his e-mail address), I might be slightly biased, but I don't see anything offhand in his posts that would be enough to get him banned for even a little while. It's not really for me to judge bannings, of course, at least outside of TWC . . .
