Based on the emails I got from him, he doesn't really care. He defended the selective censorship and the banning (although I do admit that I was deliberately pushing buttons at that point as I was already pissed off).

He would have won some points with me if he lifted the ban and changed the wording of the message left by staff or returned the posts removed. I was pissed that I accused of hijacking a thread.

He would earn some points with me if he banned your whiny arse again.

I think you are wasting entirely too much time complaining about this. Staff is staff and when you agree "by selecting agree", you agree they can do whatever the hell they want.

Lighten up Frances.

First, we need to publish a more thorough list of posting policies. A more thorough list of policies would detail more clearly what is and is not acceptable on the forums. There is too much ambiguity in the current user agreement that lends itself to inconsistency (or, at the very least, perceived inconsistency). We will work on this new policy list


A thread asking for exactly this 7 years after the fact got deleted today on the politics board.

CUwhenitburns says that he loves Fran and he is sorry. He will be sure to read the new posting guideline when they go up.

I think that's really necessary and will solve a lot of problems. It's too often that we try to figure out why he got banned...

P.S. Macks feels discriminated against on the rivalries board. I hope this problem can be resolved b/c we all want him to be happy.

Ban notifications to users with an explanation of what post triggered the ban and why. Don't let mods make snarky comments about a post or user when a post is scrubbed and they can't comment back.

So at least 15 years of complaints about the lack of transparency in moderation that have only been addressed with words and not actions.

Have to agree with this.

I've only gotten a couple of bans in my 20+ years posting here, and never got an explanation of what I did that triggered it. I had to go back through my own posts to find which one had been removed.

And this isn't a complaint. I simply think that it would be courteous to let the user know what earned the ban.
