Right, as we all know. I got banned.

Why? Heh, for some stupid pathetic reason.

Its like nicking a few sweets from a shop and getting 10 years in jail.

Why have all the staff just ran away like girls? Hm?

Now, I dont know /who/ banned me, but they have done a runner. Or just won't post, because they're too scared. Now, it was either Darkus or Hybrid, I think. And just because Hybrid is so in love with Mystique she can @rse about the forums as she pleases.

"She almosts got banned but loci stepped in"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Thats the biggest pile of crap i've heard. Why couldn't someone step in on my case? Oh yeah, I forgot, im not Mystique.

I have been here just under a year now, and done.. mmmm... NOTHING wrong. Won 5GADs so I can't be /that/ bad. And I do the smallest, so small, you can't even see it. Sarcastic post in the world, even a blind frail old women would notice that it was sarcastic. But, no. You didn't.

I honestly can't be bothered anymore, I come on the forums daily and, now, it just sucks behind. You banned me. Go cry and abuse your power. "We will ban whoever we like" BAH, I'll joyride whoever's car I want. Its pathetic.

"Waaaaahhh we have been here like, 100 days and we have banning power so we'll abuse it waaaaaah"

Why dont I get a banning stick, and beat you to death with it? Hm? How does that sound? Oh yeah, im sorry, im not a pathetic "Staffie" who abuses banning power.

Because, I dont actually know who banned me. But your out there, and I hope you read this, and, yeah, i'll probably get banned, for what? Standing up for what I believe in? Standing up for myself because I KNOW IM IN THE RIGHT? Mm? Actually, I dare you to ban me, it would give you some pleasure that you enjoy anyway. You probably shove the keyboard up your anus while doing it don't you? "Oooh yeah lets ban him OOooo" I don't really care anymore..

Oh yes, thanks Wookiee.

That was very very right.

Ok, my swearing wasn't the best. But, how else do I get a response?

I emailed, waited, VERY patiently for 3weeks, and nothing happened, something outrageous had to be done, just to get someones flippin' attention.

Ah well, I got my point across at least. Now watch this account get banned for naff all..

Well, I still come down on GasMask's side in this.

After the initial banning, there was a lot of comment and input about the post he was banned for. He told SR that it was a fake code he posted; they couldn't confirm it, but I did.

They requested GasMask send an e-mail, and he did. It seems he got no reply. Nor was there any further input from staff in any of the forums discussing the matter.

So not only did he not *actually* break any rules in the first place (which SR have clearly now known for some time), but he also - after doing what SR staff requested - go no response from them.

After all that time being a regular and fun contributor to the forums without breaking any rules, and no doubt a loyal SR customer too, that's the kind of reaction he gets?

In the meantime, he's been told by one member of staff that another user, who more blatantly broke the rules, would also have been banned - except that another member of staff stepped in to prevent it.

I don't condone the more recent swearing at the staff in any way, but I feel that SR have - either wittingly or unwittingly (I'd prefer to think the latter) - let this spiral way out of control. And with that in mind, I do have some sympathy for GasMask's outburst. It must be incredibly frustrating to do exactly as asked, and then - apparently - be ignored.

Bah, no. Ok?

I'll stand up for my rights until someone shoots me. And, guessing that no staff had the balls to show up, well, Hybrid, after I swore several times and made him do something about it. I doubt any of them will fire a gun at me.

well done to Gasmask for standing up for yourself.
I secretly wondered why Mistique could get away with anything but no-one else would. I'm glad you stood up for yourself because i would be too scared.

I knew I bought inspiration into a topic, but I never knew it'd had such an influence you in this way. Now, I don't want to carry this on and put you all to shame, but please take the time to think these words of wonder over.
