I will tell you that the mods on third forum painstakingly deliberate over whether or both to ban someone. it's almost comical, yet any time anyone gets banned there's a guaranteed to be a protest.

we're not power hungry totalitarians. this is a music forum. whoever goes megalomaniacal over being a moderator on a music forum needs to get a little more fresh air, and I guarantee you none of us are like that, except me, maybe.

moral of the story: this isn't kindergarten where our job is to guide and mold you into the fine outstanding citizens in hopes that one day you'll fill us with a sense of pride over what a well-mannered homo sapien you are. No, our job is to moderate a music forum, which includes banning people who have clearly shown that they don't know how to play nicely with others, which, by the way, is something everyone should have learned in kindergarten.

I have no sympathy for Dirty, and I would gladly ban him again, if he acts the same way when and if he comes back.

As for me, my inbox is as of yet testicle-free, and hopefully remains that way. Don't the rest of you get any ideas.

I completely agree with you. You have to understand, each mod has a different idea of what is appropriate to tell and what isn't. A certain level of discretion is preferred just because it might actually be embarrassing to the person who was banned. I'm not saying this is the case with Dirty, but we want to at least try to be consistent. Obviously, that is harder than it sounds.



I think that's what we were going for initially. I even think this would have worked if it wasn't someone with a reputation like Dirty. Oh well, it happened.
