    i love the rules here...it's why i'm here.....but even in my recent time here the bannings have become a bit capricious....speedy and lou's got banned for doing something completely innocuous....the mods know who they are and what they are about and they maybe deserved a 30 day ban but to get rid of them was going overboard...



    perhaps?
    bottomline...not my/yours/our call to make. i am not discussing individuals here, again, i don't think it's my place. all i will say is if someone had multiple bannings, perhaps they should learn from their mistakes? live with the consequences and be adults about it? eventually, maybe, the mods felt 'enough is enough'...and it was the cumulative effect? it's all just guesses in any case.

    hell, i am not one for discussing people...but really, i give soulsinging a lot of credit. personally, i think he WANTED to get banned, to seperate himself from here, and a perma-ban was the only way for him to do so. :p haha. thing is though, i don't see him cryin' like a little baby over it, making new usernames and trying to get attention saying 'look at me'...etc. i respect that. internet egos can be very ugly and dangerous things for some.....;)

    if he/others make their way back, rejoins and stays under the radar as most do......good for them. i think the mods give chance after chance after chance...even WITH new usernames....until it's just obvious someone thinks they are 'above' the community. just my little ole opinion.....
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...

    He did want to be banned. He wanted to move on from this place and that was his way of cutting the cord. He can still read the board, and he does. People give him a lot of crap, and what he did to get the final ax is something I don't agree with, because I am friends with the effected party in that situation, but I give him credit for being who he is/wants to be and not going along with other people's opinions just to be popular or whatnot.

    People know what it takes to be banned. If you can't follow the rules, you get banned. People might not agree with the rules, but then don't post here.

    exactly.
    we were friends...i should've kept his e-mail addy, eh well....hahaha. to me, it was *obvious* that's how he needed it to be. he is too smart to be that stupid, ya know? ;) haha. and yes, i give most people the credit to know what's what.....so yea, i really think *ego*s get WAY outta hand at times, feeling untouchable. bottomline, no matter what one adds here....it IS the internet....no one is *important*.....so get over it ;)....and enjoy being a part of the community, or not...all choice.


    anyhoo....there is nothing *tough* about being a member here. at all. :)
    Stay with me...

    I can think of more than one person who should've been banned and never was.

    Why?... because they have bad grammar and misspell words?
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    I've been critical of the strict laws here, but on reflection I have to say I fully appreciate the reasons. Take one look through that Redmosquito board and you'll get an idea of what the place would end up like without the laws and the enforcers, it's a pitiful shambolic show of name calling, bitching and general all round unpleasant childishness.
    It's just like the movie Escape from New York, but in internet message pit form.
    Thank you Kat & Sea for your endevours and your foresight.

    i totally agree with all the bannings.. except when its me. ;)

    i did my time and it suited my crime i feel... i have a lot of good friends on this board and i'd hate to lose touch with all 2 of them :D
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Got to love any "Escape from New York" references....one of my all-time faves..:cool:

    was GTD banned? I haven't seen her on here, and it looks like her profile has no PM option. I must have missed something.

    I thought there were a lot less self-loathing threads recently. That must explain it...
