Seriously, why was I banned Frogopus?

[Jesus321]

You have been banned for the following reason:
The "old guys" are what drove the old good guys out. You can join them.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never



•?o?o• BlackCat: hmm.. so that "the old guys..." thing was his message to you?


smurf-jesus-turtle (RAGE): yep


•?o?o• BlackCat: I thought that was what he was saying you posted... so.. it was about the post count thing?


•?o?o• BlackCat: but wait.. isn't he basically breaking the rule by referring to join date in his reason for banning you?


smurf-jesus-turtle (RAGE): yep


smurf-jesus-turtle (RAGE): he is


•?o?o• BlackCat: that is shit =/

A conversation I had yesterday and I still don't get why I was banned. You didn't even put a good reason. Also, if it was from the Delicious Rumors of a Third Kind thread, I only posted three times and there was other guys who posted WAY more than me. So, please before banning me AGAIN, I would like to know. Ok, good bye.

Oh Hai Jesus, saw you was banned. I was wondering why as well!

[Jesus321]

Yep, and I bet you one of the other mods will lock this before it even see's Frog's eyes. I seriously DON'T KNOW WHY I was banned. Dark Messiah was the one complaining about the old guys leaving not me. Maybe he got confused with them IDK.

[armored cow]

I mean, Dark Messiah has been trolling super hard lately. He basically was asking to get banned. You almost never troll, and usually actually add to discussion. I haven't seen you do anything ban-worthy. :(

DO YOU SEE ANYTHING BAN WORTHY I DID?????

[armored cow]

He is a regular and you're not. Don't assume since your join date is before his you have superiority above him.

So you actually were the one reminding others of rules...I am confus.

[Jesus321]

Well I gtg to a doctor's appointment, probably will be banned by the time I get back >_>

I see a lot in there, the most important one though is the one where they DON'T need a good reason. :P It's their forum, they can do whatever they want.

[ThoughtThinking]

Yes i to was wondering why jesus was banned.
From what i saw he did NOTHING wrong.

Lets boycott the mods!
lol jk.

[Unspoken Damnation]

I sense a revolution coming on.

On a more important note: Tyr is a mod! GRATS Tyr!

[armored cow]

On a more important note. Tyr is a mod! GRATS Tyr!

I noticed as well!

He deserves it; he's a lot like Steve Cloud, and he's already a mod.

[SRXSniper58]

Why was that thread closed again?
i had no idea what was going on except for Left 4 Dead 3 something

[InstantDeath]

Yea I was also confused about why Jesus was banned. I honestly never saw/heard of anything ban-worthy.

[ThoughtThinking]

On a more important note. Tyr is a mod! GRATS Tyr!
Really?
Congradulations Tyr!:D

[EClaris]

I think you might get a more positive response PMing, but thats just me

Indeed, although he and Steve have to duke it out for South Pacific Mod supremacy.

And now, I wash my hands of this thread

[ThoughtThinking]

I think this thread is getting derailed about Tyr.

OT:Yea im with Eclaris you might get a better response if you PM.

[Kenny]

Trying to make a public appeal isn't going to help your situation, unfortunately.

It would have better results than referencing to friends of mine that I suck cock (or whatever it was), proxying an account, and posting this.

Not that I typically make an effort to justify my actions here, but I can tell you its a shame that it went this route. I have had several complaints about Jesus recently and he has been on my radar for a little while now. The primary contributors of said thread were banned, several were given infractions. More and more, I find myself getting frustrated with the state of the forums and sometimes my judgment is clouded. As such, I was actually considering only temp banning Jesus in retrospect, but this sort of response is just the kind of shit that I have a problem with.

That said, people will clearly have a problem with any sort of mod action based on a judgment call. To remedy this, I will see about setting up a more clear infraction system to determine who stays and who goes. We'll also be expanding the mod team... Tyr as you all know already. I will also be asking people to make more use of post reporting, as that is the best way for the community to help in keeping things under control. Doing this, rather than posting in trouble threads, will help keep sticky situations like this to a minimal.

Well, thanks for at least acknowledging me. I know I should of tried a different method, but I tried through steam and I couldn't get to you. Plus I was afraid if I PM'd you, one of the other mods would lock the account before I could even get a response.
