Why do I always have to deal with personal insults, but the people insulting me do not even get a warning from a moderator? Also, how come a single moderator is allowed to ban someone? I was recently banned due to a moderator disagreeing with my political opinion. I believe that four moderators should have to vote to ban someone before they are banned for more then one day from the forum. I hope that this thread may go on without any personal insults towards anyone.

:heartbeat u wheels , but I do believe you were unbanned unfairly... lemme guess... Bob Smith

It was only a one-week ban. No-one unbanned me. But, why do you think I should have been banned for longer?

thats just the way it is wheels... i dont intend on being so rude but its simple fact , most people dont have manners , hence why in a confrontation rather then sort the matter out , they just use insults . Its in nessacary and rather stupid tbh


also there are mods here but occasionally they miss a post or two so you just report the post or pm a mod/admin directly to sort it out before things become out of hand.

Show where someone has personally and indisputedly insulted you - and managed to get away with it - and I will happily agree with you. In the meantime, consider this effort of yours from a few minutes ago, in response to a distinctly non-personal comment:

Hankstar, you are the most REVOLTING forum user I have ever come across...

Something (i.e. reading your posts over a couple of years) tells me you were sent on vacation for more than just a single, isolated incident.

Please be aware that people of any age and from many different cultures visit this forum and post their opinions. Also not everyone is equally fluent in the English language which is used on this forum. It can therefore happen that messages may be misunderstood, depending on how you read them. Keep in mind that people usually mean well, so when in doubt, give people the benefit of the doubt and see their post in a positive manner. Doing so will make our forum a nice place to freely discuss anything you want (fully or remotely related to sim-racing), without the need for moderators to intervene.

Imho, that's really all. Many people also use humour to some degree and with some it is more subtle than with others. I don't see hate here on these forums.

I've closed this thread for a couple of reasons. Firstly, because it's entirely surplus to requirement and because the reason you give for your ban is a lie. It is not because anyone disagreed with your political opinion.

Secondly, we discussed as moderators how we should deal with your behaviour on the forum, and you were effectively vote banned. The decision was taken by the moderators as a group, and your ban was the result.

Lastly, we do NOT discuss this kind of thing in public. The only reason I'm doing so here is to set the record straight, and make it quite clear to everyone who sees YOUR nonsense, that your claims ARE nonsense. Stop it, Wheel.
