Originally posted by eagles54Guidelines for acceptable forum posts have been outlined many times and are available in the TOS under the member conduct section.

Why should the Mod's have to give up their time to spoon-feed banning reasons to people who knowingly cross the line of conduct or haven't taken the time to read the conditions they agreed to when registering on this site?
Maybe if they didn't have to guess at the reason for their ban, they could avoid making the same "mistake" twice.
Originally posted by Daemon SinWhat takes more time, giving a short explanation or giving bans repeatedly?

Originally posted by Daemon SinI think if an email is sent along with a copy of the ban-able post to the banned player. Banning might work better in the future.

Originally posted by I14U2NVParticularly as in this instance, it seems the banned poster seems to think he was banned for starting an inoffensive thread and it wasn't his fault that it got offensive several pages in.

Originally posted by Daemon SinThe guidelines are not cut and dried and enforcement is inconsistent at best. There is an inordinate amount of leeway given to some posters. The rules can be, and frequently are, stretched to the breaking point. Since the reason for a ban for one person and not another at least appears to be arbitrary much of the time, a simple, brief explanation would be a great courtesy to the offender.

The nastiness began, like I said, well after he signed off.
You can't just ban people for doing nothing wrong, and give no explanation.
How can someone banned find out who banned them? If this (as mentioned earlier) is strictly between stocken and the moderator to sort out, who is the freaking moderator. Apparently he isn't stepping up to give an explanation.
Originally posted by SJ247So are reports of Stocken saying he was going to punch someone and hoped they went to hell untrue?

Perhaps he should just stop being a whiny girl about it.
Originally posted by SJ247Bans are reality checks and should be taken with a grain of salt if you will. We have all violated the TOS to one degree or another. Consider this as a debt catching up to Stocken and nothing personal.

Who banned them or why is irrelevant. The fact is that they have been banned, End of story.
People who are not happy should either stop posting or take themselves off to another site - but they won't because they get away with so much on here.
Maybe some people here should start acting their ages and not their shoe sizes.
