Re: Re:
The rules of life:
Know the rules.
If you break them be prepared to take your punishment and don't try to change rules by breaking them.
If you don't like the rules of a place, find somewhere with rules you do like.
the mods are actually pretty lenient. I reported someone for a blatant attack on another member. It was obviously dealt with as the post was deleted but the member remained. I'm guessing something went on behind the scenes, none of my business, but it could easily have been used to ban the person, a member who is well aware that personal attacks are not acceptable (to be honest EVERY member from their first post should know that rule, it's a rule of life).
I only mention The Hog because he's actually a great example in this case (He/She? No idea). He oversteps the line, gets a ban and takes it. He doesn't complain, he occasionally posts to put his point of view across once he's served the ban but as far as I know he doesn't moan or make sockpuppet accounts. He accepts that someone has to make the decision, takes the ban and moves on (at least in public). Whatever you think of his posts, you've got to respect him for that.
Glenn_Wilson said:Very true. Just like in life rules get broken.King Boonen said:The easiest way to avoid a ban is to not break the rules, it really isn't hard. If you do break the rules, Rule #5 and take your ban, like The Hog always does.
Your post reads like the Fight Club rules.
