That being said, I like the sticky. Also agree mods should give a reason for bans, especially since they now have a box in which to do so.
Every time I've checked the banned users CP every user has been given a reason. It's the same reason that the poster sees. And they all look pretty sufficient in detail. So this may have been a valid excuse before but it isn't anymore.

Then the users can actually follow what you outlined in that thread. I've been banned a couple times without knowing who did it or why. Makes it hard to contact the appropriate mod.

Also, if you don't want users making new accounts and ATF threads, the mods really need to start reply to people when they ask questions. The rules you gave only work if the mods do their part too.
Absolutely on giving users solid feedback. I dont know why i was exiled from oot, and ive no idea why i lost my previous account.

In fact, re oot, i have never really done anything that bad in comparison to many many people who regularly post there - please feel free to find exceptions, they do not exist. I certainly dont start random crappy threads and if you dont like my opinions, well, there is the ignore function.

Anyway, when my account got perma'ed, it was temp banned for a week:

Quote:
You have been banned at the The 2+2 Forums.
Reason: 7 day ban for death wish in BBV4L on top of other offenses.
Ban duration: 7 days.
Which, btw, i totally accept that whilst i was joking i crossed the line.

However when the sofware got changed over my ban magically changed to perma. I dont even know if it was done on purpose or by default in the software changeover or something.

I have only been banned for 1 day previous to that (according to gmail which has everything recorded) and i think that 1 day ban was harsh:

Quote:
You have been banned at the The 2+2 Forums.
Reason: News at 11:

Americans are stupid

Ban duration: 1 day.
I also broke my oot exile when i got this new account because i didnt realise it applied to all accounts (which i obv wouldnt have done if i had been told EVER about this).

Anyway, im rambling i think, tell people why they are banned and unban my old account pretty much cliffnotes this post.

Protecting the rights of the minority is the hardest test for any organization to withstand. Without minority rights you have mob rule which never really tends to end the way it began.

Fun history lesson: the very man who approved the guillotine for use in France (King Louis XIV) was put to death by one less than a year later.

Ban for anti-midgetism.

Edit: I have no idea if midgetism or anti-midgetism is the correct made up term.

Edit2: Tuq, no trans-fats obv.

Well that's why we got involved, because we were sitting on this side of the pond going "****, those Krauts are really bombing the **** out of London. Let's flip a coin, heads we bail them out, tails we take over Canada". And it's lucky for both you and the Nucks that it landed heads. Actually it's not lucky for the Nucks because they have socialized medicine now but that's for another thread.

BTW if you had seen "Saving Private Ryan" you would have known this all by now.

The Russians won the war against the Nazis.

We played around in Africa for like 3 years before we decided to actually open a European front.

So it's more likely they'd be speaking Russian if it wasn't for us.

Yeah, that was the reason the US entered ww2

Start of war in Europe - sept 39
Entry of US into war - dec 41 - after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour and then Germany officially declaring war against the US

Hmmmm, you may be onto something here. I didn't see that film because I heard it was a chick flick.

Your right there is no "u" in Pearl Harbor, however there is a "u" in harbour - lets agree to split the difference on that one

2) Link to other sticky.

It's a signal from above that some threads in ATF should be serious and ATF.
