Message stof if you have a problem with it. Stof won't be back from vacation for a while though so don't expect an immediate response. I don't know who handed out the ban, but bitching about it constantly is not helping.

not? why if i may ask?


Because no other mods will (nor do they have the right to) reverse the ban or lessen it. You could also message BenKenobi or DKII actually. The rest of us have no right to reverse the decisions of another. Spamming the forums with it is not productive and it's more likely to get you banned than Kwaad unbanned.

Understand though that we spend all day babysitting these forums for no pay, reward, or even a thanks, and you spamming the forums with "Why was this guy banned" in every topic you find is not going to end well for you. There is a proper way to appeal a ban or mod decision, and this is not it. So drop it.


I'd just like to say, I wasn't spamming. This is the first time I've posted about the misuse of the "ban reason" field. To be honest, Kwaad has already been banned so many times, it doesn't really matter to me personally whether or not this one sticks, so I'm not asking for his ban to be reversed. I just wanted to discuss the "ban reason" field, which I assume ioi added to the forums so that it could be used properly.

Anyway, I do appreciate your post letting us know the right way to appeal a ban if we wish, and I appreciate all your hard work. I moderate another forum, so I know what it's like to be on the other side of the table, so to speak. Keep fighting the good fight. :)

Back on topic...

The problem I have with cases like this is that punishment should be commensurate with the offense. How does it do any good to lock up this 13 year old boy if what he did was consentual? The "rap sheet" even says "one count of invited sexual touching." In other words, he asked the girls if it was OK. Isn't this how we want men to behave? Don't touch without permission?

I think all the boy needs is a little counseling to explain to him the risks involved in sexual activity at his age.

On the topic of sex laws in general, they are completely screwed up in this country. We have this magical "age of consent" barrier where if you're 17 years and 364 days old, it's illegal to have sex, but wait 24 hours, and you can be in a porn film where you get tied up, slapped around, and gangbanged. Is something not wrong with this picture? Isn't there something wrong with placing an 18-year-old male on the registered sex offender list for having consentual sex with his 17-year-old girlfriend?


Why do you assume it was consentual? There is NO indication of that at all. It could of been consentiual or he could of pinned them down in the girls bathroom. He didn't ask the girls if it was ok. He basically told them to touch him.
