The benefit of doubt might very well be deserved then ... 

You have my recommendation if it means anything to the mods ...

We've been talking about it for the last half hour. Thanks for bringing it up in a collected and positive manner. Hopefully we'll have a consensus in a bit.

EDIT: We took away the formal warning and placed an informal warning in the thread in question. Hope that helps.

If anyone is wondering why Jay was banned, here is the ban note we put together:

First off, starting with such a mocking and sarcastic tone is not necessary to get your point across or to voice your displeasure in your ban. Secondly, you try and use past issues of Seece (already handled with the appropriate actions and apologies), Amy (already handled with the appropriate actions and apologies) to somehow paint yourself as a victim of a run-away mod, when it isn't the case at all. Then when confronted with other opinions, evidence, and facts that build up our foundation, you resort to sour grapes to try and discredit the entire thread since it doesn't agree with you (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7062476). In the same post you then miss the point entirely, even after I explained why you were banned (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7062471), claiming that we "need thicker skin" and accusing us of acting as lone wolves despite the fact that we already stated that we worked as a team (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7060968). Then again calling us sensitive and using uncredited sources to try and prove that the ban is laughable (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7062497). Then again using an already perfectly explained and justified moderation to paint us as (again) over-sensitive and ban-mongers (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=7062521). This is honestly the worst case of handling oneself in a Mod related thread that I have ever seen and is completely unbecoming for any member of this site. You need to learn to back yourself with proper evidence instead of wailing away in the dark in an attempt to find some foundation to stand on.

I appreciate the rest of you for being patient, kind, understanding (to a point ), and meeting the mod team half way to discuss issues. We appreciate all that more than you know, and will do our best to meet you halfway as well. We want to work with you all, as long as we treat each other with decency and respect. That's all we ask.

Thanks smeags and keep up the good work. You guys should be paid for all the time you put in!

We wanted to make sure that we built up the proper evidence and had a solid foundation. It's no less than we ask of anyone else.

Every mod can tell you we're not interested in stand-offs or turf wars. We just ask that you respect the parameters that have been provided and that there are right ways to go about things.

I think maybe the one for pezus is longer. That was something else. 

I don't use the word bullying lightly.  If I wanted the mods to act i would message them. You can bully somebody on here without breaking any rules btw. I just want to be treated with respect and not have people try and gang up on me.  People should respect my opinions and preferences without targeting me for them. 

Can someone point me in the direction of how I can block other users on this website? I heard Gnac or whatever had something you download on FireFox or Chrome?

Much appreciated.

Yeah, my advice would be to message Gnac. I believe he still has a link to his Greasemonkey script in his sig even.

Much appreciated!
