Just to emphasize / clarify, as FGR has been in contact to say how unfairly he has been treated etc - and there was ‘NEVER displayed a “pattern” of behavior’ by him to earn him a ban…
Breaking Rules 6, 7 or 8 of the Site Rules - including making socks - will get anyone a quick ban on here…
Breaking the following rules may result in an immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning:
- Do not harass other members, either publicly or via PM. Any unwanted contact after a request to stay away will be considered harassment.
- Personal attacks and slurs based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, etc. aren’t tolerated under any circumstances.
- Socks (fake accounts where you pretend to be someone else) and team accounts (accounts used by more than one person) aren’t permitted. If we find you using a sock, we’ll ban both the sock and your primary account as well as any related accounts, and possibly IP addresses.
So in FGR’s case, Rules 7 & 8 were broken - each on more than one occasion.
The rules are applied to everyone - it doesn’t matter if you are ‘a professional adult with a family’, or ‘a POSITIVE force for the community’ or ‘there are many who would like to see me back on the site’ - or not.
Also, lying to - and attempting to deceive the mods - and then accusing them of ‘bullshit’ and ‘tarnishing their good name’ - is not a good move either.
We all knew it was him…
And you didn’t think to let the moderators know?
It’s not my place or my job to tattle on a user I suspect has been banned.
Not ‘suspect’ - ‘knew’; as in ‘We all knew it was him’.
