The official petition site is down, so this post will act as a petition.

Addressed to Staff of Special Reserve:

"www.gameaday.co.uk is a site intended for you to win games/dvd's for your contributions to the forums/site in general in the form of review/topical submission. Yesterday, a user named Monkey_Man posted a topic which included HTML on the forums, and over 5 offenders proceeded to post pages of spam HTML topics. Monkey_Man was banned, and many feel this was unjustly, as he simply proved that HTML was usable, he didn't spam up the forums. If you feel that he was unjustly banned, please leave a signature and comment below."

Thank you.
The Undersigned.

Please sign below if you think that Monkey Man should be un-banned.

Don't you think you're taking this a bit too seriously?

I used HTMl therefore I should be banned as well...is that the case? Why though? I mean no harm was caused, the topics are now gone and if everyone would just get on with their life the forums could return to normal.

Okay, Monkey man was banned, tough. Its no ones fault other than his for doing it in the customer support place where a lot of staff go. I have been banned before, I wasn't the only person that did what I did to get banned, but I got on with it. I came back under a different name and eventually got accepted again. It should be no different now.

When considering that many decent topics were swallowed up, no.

He won't be unbanned end of story.

It's more complicated than that.

That's why I've done this petition.

Can't just pick on one can you?

Well, I suppose SR thought "Violated" Because it was a very very slight form of hacking. Slight. And Very. Underline those words.

SR are probably making an example of Monkey_man, telling us that this kind of action will not be tolerated.
