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..

Mr. Gassie, I have a cunning plan...

All you need to do is write a topic saying "PLEASE UNBAN ME".

But in a clever twist (if I do say so myself... :D) you put the topic title as... (wait for it...)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TONY!!!

cunning eh? ;-)

So Gassie, you still planning to keep posting here on SR...? It just seemed from a previous post (or maybe I just misinterpreted it...?) that you were leaving or something...

I wonder how long this'll go on for...

Maybe you should resend the message you sent to Loki to every E-mail address on SR ;-)

Unbanning Gasmask probably would have been the best option, but I think that Hybrid said earlier that once an account has been banned it is as good as deleted.

Or he could have been removed, given a warning then be allowed to post again.

AJ and Edgy are very wise people. And I agree totally. Swearing isn't acceptable.

But I had to get a response out of someone didnt I? All the other methods didnt work, so what did I have left? Aggressive Force.

My favorite :o)

Anyone remember my 'GasMask for Notable' thread in FOG chat a little bit after GasMask was first banned...?

After seeing the original topic about this, I believe Gas Mask should have been un-banned.

Mystique has done a lot worse and she's gotten away with it all.

Gas Mask has the respect of many a member here, and that was supposedly the reason Mystique wasn't banned.

Are we seeing a case of a different rule for everyone?

Anyway, surely a simple deletion of the fake code would have done.


I'm not trying to get on the wrong side of anyone, staff or SR members, I just feel that the fact Gas Mask's original account wasn't un-banned wasn't justified. However, providing it's the same rule for all, I agree that swearing should be considered a banning offence.

Really, there are 2 ways of viewing this 'case'.

SR at first had the right to ban GasMask, because lets face it, they didn't know that was a joke serial number he posted, and they should at least have asked him why he posted it, and if it was a told to be a joke then they could've let him off, but with a warning, but no. SR banned him, and apparently stated on the forums that he should apologise. GasMask apologises, apparently, and then waits 3 weeks, but SR do nothing, say nothing, and this brings up this topic from GasMask.

It is understandable that he is frustrated, but swearing and shouting abuse at the SR staff isn't exactly helping matters at all.

I really believe that GasMask should've been banned at first, but then after an 'inquiry' that SR should've made, he deserved to be unbanned. It was very rude to ignore Gassy apology also from SR, but now that they've been sworn at by GasMask, they do sort of have the right to ban him.

It's a strange incident really....
