jskains Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 One of the moderators here is out of line. Banning people from topics because they say something you do not like or have an opinion you don't agree with is extreme and does not make for open dialogue. I did nothing wrong, and now comments can be made without me defending what I have to say.Someone has a happy trigger finger and I noticed it is more focused on me than others who have made very opinionated comments.JMS Link to comment
LeSellers Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Sorry, friend, the guidelines explicitly tell us not to question mod decisions. There are many of us here who have been banned from topics for the same kind of "infraction". It does no good to complain about it.Lehi Edited April 5, 2012 by LeSellers Link to comment

jskains Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Wow, that attitude is a lot like Obama. He doesn't like his healthcare being criticized. Is that how you feel Doc? That any counter opinion to yours is simply crying? Link to comment

bluebell Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Doctor steuss = js, there's just no way to publically complain about the mods without making yourself look bad. The mods aren't perfect and they make mistakes sometimes but that's just the nature of the beast. Best to keep issues with mods private or just let them go. Link to comment
jskains Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Kinda hard when the Mod doesn't even have the courage to announce who they are that did the activity. Link to comment

If the government put up a law you think violates your rights, and you stand up against it, is that whining? Or is that letting people know you disagree with the law?JMS Link to comment

I was voicing my opinion and some anonymous mod jumped in and banned me because they disagree with my opinion. That ISN'T moderation, that's censorship. Big difference.And this board should have a method for people to post their grievances when there is a possibility some rouge moderator did something wrong.JMS Link to comment
jskains Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Anyways, I said my thing. I am done with this discussion.JMS Link to comment
thesometimesaint Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I've been banned from threads more often than you. It is best to just let it go, and move on. Link to comment

It’s ok that not everyone is like you. Promise.Still not sure where the bizarre political tirade is coming from though, or why it's continuing. 1 Link to comment
Saints Alive Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 JMS, You are not going to win a public argument with the mods, you best course of action is to ask for clarification by using the contact us link, even that probably won't give you vindication. Unless you have the ear of a sympathetic mod you will most likely have to let it go. FWIW I don't believe your post warrented banishment. Link to comment
