Korny here. First off, I'm using this alt account to defend myself, which is my right, I think.
So, lets see. Trolling. I'd like to see evidence or a link to a post of mine where I'm trolling. For the flaming part, maybe I did, but it was reasonable.
I don't think a 30 day ban is necessary, not even close. If you're going to ban people without any evidence, or reason now, then things are indeed worse than I thought they were.
Banning me for something I haven't done is something I won't just take without defending myself.
Another thing I don't get is, why on earth are people getting banned who did NOT harm the community at all ? I mean seriously, the sig deleting stuff is one thing, but that just takes it to a whole other level.
Let me give you an advice, the guys whining and complaining, and eventually reporting people around here, are to be looked at slightly more suspicious, you sure as hell know what I mean.
Banning people randomly for things they haven't done isn't the way to go, this community is at poor condition already, don't kill it.
The trigger for this sanction was when you posted.
Quote:Mister Intelligent is back.
in response to something Waratah had written. This is flaming and trolling. This is exactly the sort of behaviour that is hurting this community.
I think you also called a bunch of people
Quote:Retarded, typically retarded.
but I cannot seem to find the text now so maybe this was a mix up.
You were not sanctioned for saying
Quote:Get your damn pink glasses off your eyes, Zelot. And Burg, all of you goddamn donkeys. How about you start caring about the things that actually harm the community ?
or
Quote:The language in my sig is unacceptable, but those effing trolls insulting people are not ? Simply.Retarded.
or
Quote:Ranting is childish, but I don't care. I'm not really angry, just annoyed by such silly decisions instead of actually doing some good for the community. Screw yourselfs.
as these were directed at the admin team and we can take a certain amount of abuse when people are complaining about decisions.
As for the length and duration, this is being reviewed as this appears to be your first sanction.

To be clear, no it is not.
Proud member of "the most paranoid group of people in the community"
Aha, right. And of course, Waratah's posts were all clean and smooth as a baby butt, yes ? No, they weren't. He's one of these people who always misbehave, and get nothing in response.
This is how I talk to people who misbehave towards me, Iunno' about you but I don't take everything and swallow it.
But hell, go ahead and review it. I still wasn't trolling, just so you know.
We have reviewed your ban, and it has been reduced to seven days from this point. I will also ban your alt account(s) for this time.
While you have been an offensive little creature to an awful lot of people, we have decided that 30 days is not deserved in this case.
However, if you continue to shout, scream and yell every time something doesn't go your way, or generally be offensive to other members, calling thenm retarded, and so on, we will ban you for a hell of a lot longer than 30 days.
