Banned Users

Just noticing this now. I know many will disagree and that this thread will likely get locked, but cavalierly joking about banning paid members of this community seems out of line.

The posting guidelines say we are supposed to be better here than other places on the web. I think the mods are in violation of those guidelines.

    Everyday reminders that this place is not a democracy.

    will refrain from all other comments.

    Banned users = users who were fun

    Now we have to take our 3 year olds to shows to get noticed and the 3 year olds may read the forum so let's all put on a smiley face and stay happy for the 3 year olds

    Kinda wish the "suspension" route could've been taken vs. expulsion for some, but to be fair, we go into this knowing (or should knowing) the guidelines. And I believe warnings are given.

    Can't do it, then I guess yer ass is grass.

    Sure miss some of the folks who've been banned though.

    (and what's the deal with some avatars of those banned having bars on them? I noticed that with old posts from peacefrompaul)

    Meh. I can say that one person in particular was banned and it made this a better place. Any of the others, I really havent noticed.

    I'm of course not saying there are not those who deserve to be banned. Just that the ones doing the banning (arbitrarily and without oversight) should not be making light of those bannings.

    I think it's ridiculous that anyone gets banned for life. They are PAYING members! I understand giving members detention, but banning them permanently is utter nonsense.

    No reason the other PAYING members should have to put up with the assholes of the bunch...lol.

    Agreed. It's asinine. I've asked them directly and received meaningless replies. I used that image for my avatar and the admis removed it, telling me it was a violation of the guidelines. I asked them to tell me which guideline I had violated and received no response.

    They just make it up as they go along.

    Maybe the mods are not responding to this thread because they are in their own time out?

    We have no control in the new forums regarding the ban image being used. We tried to have it removed but we were told it's not possible. Please follow the Posting Guidelines and listen to any cautions or warnings so that image won't be part of your forum account. We don't like to ban anyone, ever, but sometimes it's someone's own choice when they won't get along. Have a good and super weekend, everyone.

    It's not ok to gossip about former or current members of these forums so this thread is done.
