"My Banning."

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..

SONICRAV, that is shocking! I can't believe the staff got away with that! Does the staff member still exist here? Cos if s/he is ...

Well, while I can't say anything about Gasmask's banning, I have been in a similar spot where the 'double standards' have come in. A few elections ago, while I was using a new account, everyone was saying how the election was a farce. Lots of people had just voted for people because they were told to etc...

So strongly did people disagree with the whole thing that a couple of topics by regs were started about how bad the elction was. I set up a similar topic, called 'Why the election was stupid' (or something akin to that), only to get the folling treatment:

1) A staff member shouted abuse at me in that topic
2) when i justify myself he posts abuse about me in all the other topics I'd posted in that evening about how stupid I am
3) After all that he changes the topic name to 'Why [insert my screen name] is stupid'
4) when I announe that I'm actually the 2nd longest running site member, sonicrav, he deletes the topic in which I announce it, and all follow ups about it.

Meanwhile all the other 'stupid election' topics were fine, even though they said the same thing!

You know he did, he said many times as Gasmask1 in the original banned thread that he sent an apology to Ali.

Is that really what happens? You can't register again? Wow

Unfortunately

True, he did cross the line, but you ignored his email and questions. :(

Oh well.. thats the end of that.
*goes back to Labyrinth*

It just goes to show that you can't mess with the staff...!

When was the serial number thing posted? I never saw that, I thought it was because of the *other* thing.

Apparently not.

*SLAPS DRINGO*

I ain't holding nobodies hand.

Gasmask, this is in order to clarify this whole mess to you and everyone else on the forums.

You were banned for posting up a serial number for an illegal piece of software. We have no real way of telling whether it was a real serial or not and even if it was a joke (because software piracy is sooo amazingly funny) we have no recollection of you coming forward to the staff and saying it was just a joke or it that you were sorry for your actions.

When someone is banned their whole account is usually banned meaning that they cannot ever re-apply for the site. You came back as GasMask1 and although you should have been instantly banned we let it go and allowed you to continue to post and were happy to do so. Unfortunately you have now totally crossed the line by swearing at the staff.

You are banned again, please do not show yourself up by attempting to continue this abuse.

On behalf of the Staff.

Hybrid Valves

Why can't we all hold hands... yes everyone... including you er-no and sing.

Cumbaya my lord... yeah thats it Everybody.
