mardigrasbob 0 #1 January 4, 2005 Please don't ban me for this; I believe it relevent! I was punished last summer for a personal attack and am still bitter, and considering the recent wave of bannings this seems like a good opportunity to see what others think.

Gawain 0 #2 January 4, 2005 I really only know two moderators, and only a little bit at that (like I've seen and talked with them at the drop zone only a couple times and I'm not even sure if I've jumped with them) and I've met like one other once. I don't know if they play favorites or not, I do know that in my observation, they play pretty fair overall. So, I feel like I should be saying "in before the lock", but nah. I don't even know who's been banned recently, that how disconnected I've been. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

PhillyKev 0 #3 January 4, 2005 Well, I've been banned twice. Once by Kallend when he was a moderator. And once by BillVon. So I voted yes, they're biased on politics, they only ban those who generally agree with them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyskydiver 0 #4 January 4, 2005 Kallend was a moderator at one time? Seriously?Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodypilot90 0 #5 January 4, 2005 QuoteWell, I've been banned twice well Kallend voted against you getting banned, before he voted for you getting banned btw did you think you were out of line when banned? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #6 January 5, 2005 QuoteKallend was a moderator at one time? Seriously? I thought it was him. Maybe it was someone else. I know it was a liberal greenie at any rate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #7 January 5, 2005 Quotebtw did you think you were out of line when banned? Yep. I was reacting to an attack against me both times, but still should have just let it slide. Both times the other party was banned as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
