| arctic they are always clear to the person getting banned, and to the people who directly following their in all area's. they always try thro many means to try and muddy these facts, twist things, say they didnt do this, someone else did that, evidence gets deleted or moved all in aid to try and bring doubt upon the suspension, thus grounds for an appeal. |

I've seen some of the stuff Joe did, and i've talked to him about it, so I personally do know some of the score. I agreed with arj's suspension, all he did was post whore, and to be honest it got extremely annoying. Vivid I don't know well enough to judge, although I did find the stuff that I saw from him funny.
All that is beside the point though, i'm against an appeals forum, all I want is for bannings to be explained if someone asks. If that was done, then none of this would have happened, in my opinion.
The fact is that with a lack of info, people will just assume the worst and think that the mods are abusing power/banning for personal reasons. Accusations like that are then made, and mod - user relations just get worse and worse.
If the people who made those endless 'unban joeh' (Again, not me) threads were just told why he was suspended, then I don't think it would have gone as far.
Once again, i'm not protesting at the bans here, i'm just mentioning that if they were simply clarified, then none of this appeal stuff would have even been brought up. |
aye im not saying ur protesting the bannings.
i jsut meant the reasons arnt first obvious coz it isnt one single bad event getting them a supenstion or whatever.
however none of the mods have to tell you the proper reason.
although if you pmed me asking why i would tell you why. im jsut saying its up to a mod if he wants to tell you or not coz it aint a rule :) |

| simple answer, you only get banned for what you do, so if people aren't cockheads they won't get banned ;) |

Eh?
You're still posting aren't you? :p
Ste, yeah i realize that. I'm not saying this for me, I just think it might stop all these 'appeal' threads that seem to flood chillout after a ban. |

Actually, I think it would be more amusing if you yourself were banned. ;)
Ste, why not just campaign for art's mod status to be removed in chillout and me put in his place.
That way, I could delete all BTG's posts, annoy the Americans, post piss takes involving art, make a thread to post large pictures of Kangaroos without Neo closing it, and delete everything Luke posts.
I don't know what you think, but it sounds pretty damn good to me! :D |

Just got one thing to say really
involving the incident between joeh and myself.
He was suspended for valid reasons, a history of bad posts / comments and the decison was not taken lightly, but he was getting to the point where he was thinking, i know a lot of the UK mods and i can get away with anything.
Sorry but that does not wash with the mods.
i tried to explain my reasons in PM to him about his suspensions and also to a friend of his st_andrew.
everything i explained to him was mis-quoted in threads in COR.
we tried to talk it over in IRC too again in PM and yet again my posts were quoted incorrectly so i then refused to deal with him in private.
We had a long convo in public in the UKTA chatroom and funnily enough nothing from that was quoted.
I refuse to have any dealings now with JOEH unless there are others to witness what has been said so that i can not be mis-quoted again.
I full realise that not a lot of the members of the forums like me, but wether i am liked or not, i will always try to sort any situation with an impartial veiw.
as for appeals, suspended members can still PM ppl, mods and swamper and have every chance to get thier suspension revoked.

Thankyou for finally clarifying it, hopefully it means that the endless 'why was joeh banned?' threads will stop.
Now, about making me a mod to cause havoc and destruction...:p |
