It’s been a month yesterday since Valheru_84 received his ban, but it’s still in place. I suppose that means it’s permanent.

Aw nothing. Jason will explain in detail why it’s permanent.

I was being less than sincere. I’m sorry wook, I know my name has come to be known as carrying honesty and integrity, as well as being a brand you can trust to be wholesome and factual. To you, and the community at large, I apologize.

But it’s not all bad.

Just kidding it is. I’m a sham.

I can attest to a lot of negative things about you but for the sake of the topic at hand I won’t get any more specific than that.

Valheru’s ban is permanent. Initially it was a temp-ban for not having a retail copy of TFA yet acquiring TFA Edits - breaking Rule 6 - though his comments to us upon being informed of this earnt him a permanent ban.

When people get banned, can they send PMs to mods or something, or did he create a sock account?

^ I usually inform someone via PM they are receiving a temp-ban before actually banning them - unless it’s for putting up direct downloads on here etc.

On occasion we may be talking with a member beforehand via PM to ascertain facts or details - or to ask for reasons why they may have done something. This was the case re Val.

No. When someone is banned, their account is disabled and they can’t log in. No logging in means no PMs.

One can, however, send emails to and recieve them from jay@originaltrilogy.com, and I think more than just Jay has access to read emails sent to that.

At present anyone who uses the ‘Report’ button for any posts they take issue with on the site… the Reports only goes through to Jay - and not the Moderators (unfortunately, it’s a bug of the system). AFAIK Jay is the only one to have access to his email address (maybe the FBI & DHS too 😉)

As you can imagine Jay receives a LOT of Reports, PMs and emails to sort through - on top of his other Admin duties - and a life outside here (yes, we do have them - honest!)

So, if anyone wishes to contact any of the Site Moderators instead - Anchorhead, SilverWook & me - with any issues, queries or concerns etc - they can do so by PM’ing us.

Not the FBI, just the NSA. The FBI needs a warrant to investigate anybody’s personal accounts or residences.

Sounds the type of thing they want you to believe mate - trust no initialisms - they’re all in on it. From everyone at ot.com.

Even if they are illegally monitoring you, they can’t use any of it as evidence in court. That’s why they don’t bother. Unless you’re a suspected terrorist, in which case they can do whatever they want to you unfortunately, you’re safe from local, state, and federal law enforcement unless they have a warrant.

And the award for most silly and over the top ban goes to…

I can’t wait for the official explanation. Id go so far as to say I officially think this the the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever seen the administration/moderation do in this increasingly joyless forum that (coincidentally I’m sure) gets even more joyless whenever the founder is around, but I’d hate to find myself also banned for daring to disagree. After all the thing calipso said and got banned for is much more respectful than what that would be if I said that.

Jay said:

Any further posts on the subject will be deleted and temp bans will be issued.

I don’t know what either of you guys expected.

I hope you both come back after your bans though, since I like both you guys. And this really isn’t a hill worth dying on.

Maybe have a word with the joyless people who derailed the thread? To the point where a Mod stepped in (again) and issued a warning that if it continued there would be post deletions and temp-bans - in a bid to try and get it back on course. And in the very next post…

And still some people in there are making snide comments.

Obviously a thread discussing the positive aspects of a Star Wars film is just too much for some.

I’m not debating that, I’m debating that the post from callipso was in anyway ban worthy. Although yes it’s true that it was warned any further off topic posts would result in a banning, I’m not so sure it was entirely fair, especially considering callipso was far more respectful than what Jay is sometimes. If that’s all it took to get banned then I’m really not sure how it goes. Am I allowed to disagree or no?

Why hasn’t Possessed been banned?

Yeah I mean I’ve publically disagreed more than once and that’s basically all callipso did. Although I did not contribute to the derailing of the thread in question.
