Default OT-CAlexio ban

Hi guys,

I don't know if you all know, but one of our long-time posters, CAlexio just got banned for posting an image of a trump doll. (a naked trump bobblehead doll but one without any genitals on it)

He was originally banned for 3 days, which I can see, but then it was somehow decided that his ban should extend for 5 weeks, which I think is excessive. (and likely politically motivated)

Alex adds a lot to our discussions and compared to some of the name calling and insults that go on around here without any repercussions, I don't think he deserves a 5 week ban for posting a picture of a doll while trying to be funny.

I'm going to email the moderators to request that his ban be lifted sooner and I request that any of you who also feel this way, to do the same.

What is this, a nanny state?

3 days is more than enough. Moderators lighten up.

This is ridiculous. I was threaten with a ban because in jest I equated MT to masturbation. I was given a warning. This is an automobile blog and car enthusiast can be salty at times.

Is RL affiliated with a church? if so I need to know now.

Mods, please reconsider. We all go off the rails every now and then, but Alex adds a lot more than he subtracts around here.

I was not the moderator who banned him, but the naked trump doll had genitals which is an automatic vacation. I have no knowledge if the time was changed usually it's a month or so for nudity.

Give him a chance to apologize by posting a picture of a Berlusconi doll.
