I didnt notice that in my drunking state atm but i still feel like it should of been a warning. Unless you think calling someone a pirate is ok to be left go?, the other day i was called a pirate after saying i pay for my games and yet nothing was done. i think both is as bad as each other and both deserved a warning not a ban.

Well, you can have disagreement with moderation policy - and then take that disagreement directly to CGI or Ryuu. They are MORE than agreeable to hearing criticism when it comes to this area, and (so far as I've seen) are open to modifying policy if appropriate. Saying you think the moderation sucks and that's why the site is going to die, isn't really helpful. And while I know there have been problems in the past, those types of problems always seem to come and go - yet this site continues on.

Point is - try to be a solution to the problem, rather than just a problem. 

I'll be totally honest - I mentioned to CGI just the other day, having a forum with zero "bad guys" is actually not a good thing. Sure, it seems like everyone is playing nice and all, but things will definitely get stale. The truth is (and I'm willing to bet it applies to a large majority of people here), the biggest douchebags are usually the ones that cause you to sign-up in the first place, so you can join the conversation and call that person out. To this day, I still remember the exact reason I joined - it was because of a user named @Monty (I'm sure some of the older people here like @kirby007 or @RolStoppable remember that ass clown) - but he was exactly the type of user who would currently not exist on these boards for more than 24hrs today, and that's actually a bad thing. Because without forum foils, things tend to get boring, quickly...     ...NONE of this is to imply we need jackassery around here and temporary bans should always remain available. But perhaps perma-bans need to be focused exclusively on spammers and those posting extremely offensive stuff. 

Anyway - this is delving FAR DEEPER than I want to get involved. Just know that CGI and Ryuu are always paying attention to this kind of stuff, and I have no doubt that if you would raise your concerns (in an intelligent, non-combative and non-insulting way), your concerns would be heard and addressed.

 

Hey...that was why I signed up.  Except it was a user named Kwaad.  I wonder if he's still around and just switched names or something.
