View Full Version : ATTN Mods: Objecting my permaban

I have created this account for the sole purpose of objecting to my other account's ban: (http://forums.explosm.net/showthread.php?t=1931)

I have seen many more idiotic posts than that which I made, and as the global rules state: "You probably won't be permabanned unless you maliciously spam the forum, post goatse or repeatedly get TOs and never learn." None of those were the case, I was not spamming the forum, I was not posting goatse, and I never got a single TO. My ban was simply for an unfunny new thread I made in hopes of getting some laughs, which I then regretted. The reason you gave me was simply "goodbye", which isn't a reason at all. It looked like you just banned be to get an extra ban in your list. A permaban was not the right choice on that occasion, A timeout perhaps, for the reason of "being an unfunny jerk".

Now, I must ask, do not try to just dispose of me through another ban simply because you do not want to bear with me. Again, quoting the global rules "Write like a reasonably intelligent person" - simply banning me for not being willing to find a way out of this would not be so mature as I, and every other user of this board expects you to be when talking about the rules I believe you created.

I hope you find a way to either free my old account of its ban, or at least allow me to use this one freely.

Please, also note that this account was created for the sole purpose of objecting to that ban, and I will not use it in any other way other than this. I will only post in other threads if I am allowed to do so.

BAN ME PLEASE

It's actually the other way around. Posting goatse will get you perma-not banned

I believe you could've just PM'd an admin or mod, rather than make it public...fool.

You made another account to get around a ban though, "sole purpose" or not.

I did PM Rob, because he was the one who banned me.

And yes, I know I created a second account, but I don't see where the rules say that this is not allowed either.

But even so, I think I should be able to appeal to my ban, because it was clearly an unfair ban.

Maybe you should quit being a pussy about it and stop whining publicly.

All right, how else should object my ban? What I am doing here, and what I have done before, according to the site's rules, is legal.

If I wasn't banned in the first place, this wouldn't be happening. Sorry for being crude here, but it's the truth.

I wasn't putting myself into position to be permabannored, I was posting an unfunny thread, and Rob simply banned me for no reason whatsoever. He could have just closed the thread

There you go.

There you go.

As I said before, he could have closed the thread, TOed me, or given me an infraction.

That was no reason for a permaban.

These rules aren't all-inclusive. Decisions are made by the moderators, and they're always right in the end, so please don't argue.

Don't say anything is 'legal' according to the site rules, because the site rules are whatever the admins say they are.

If you post a stupid thread, you do it at your own peril.

Now you could be permabanned. If my permaban was for an infraction that isn't even in the rules, then how come you get to make an infraction, even though very slight, and get nothing for it?

Because I didn't post an unfunny thread.

So you got banned for making a crap post. Why don't you just go and find another forum and forget about C&H?

This isn't about being funny or not, after all, that's humor taste. This is about breaking the rules or not. I didn't, I got punished, simple as that.

It's like getting a random guy from the streets, and throwing him in jail for telling a bad joke. Seriously.

"You probably won't be permabanned"
The key word is "probably".
Rob can do whatever the hell he wants.

I guess I could tell an officer that instead of giving me a ticket, he should be off chasing a murderer.

You broke the rules. Rules is rules. Rules rule.

Either way, you can't argue with the admins. These are essentially their forums, and they'll do whatever they damn well please with them.

Except this time it's a specific member such as yourself.

alright, i have to stop this here. I'm like cracking up right now. You guys are making such a big deal outa this for nothing. It's just a website forum, if you've got problems go email rob himself then. Rob is like the Master and ruler of explosm and he can do what ever he wants. "global rules or not" it's what he says that goes.

There's not really much difference there. Just as I was an specific user who told a bad joke, said guy in my example was also a specific guy who was telling a bad joke.

Therefore it is a double fail.
