If you have a problem with the way this board or Rennlist is run...
State it like an adult.
In a civilized manner.
If you resort to insulting moderators or administrators who volunteer to make this place run, you'll get banned.

I stated it this way to Mike Globe on his IB better start bailing fast thread
No one has been banned from offering criticism or objecting to how we run the site. Simple as that. I'm not threatening to ban you for speaking up. You know me better than that.
If you don't like something, tell us why. I don't object to anyone having a different opinion here.
But people who offer insults to the mods on this board will be the ones banned. Not the ones who are speaking up in a civilized manner.
Do me a favor. Go back and read the clarified guidelines for Rennlist. They are basically what you agreed to when you joined. I think they are very reasonable.
The big issue the last couple days is what constitutes an appropriate avatar.
Believe me, the opinions we've been receiving by members who have PAID for their membership vary all greatly. Who's right? We're trying to work this out.
Finally the need is not for me to admonish Sean and edit his insulting post. The need is for Sean to act like a grownup and state his objections. Not hurl insults.[/QUOTE]

How about you call Sean and discuss with him on the phone what his "insulting posts" were about, inferred. He sent you his phone number more than once.

I can't find it. I'm lifting the ban, so you can pm it to me.

You don’t flip off an administrator or a moderator.
For now it’s two weeks.

So yeah, I think you are way out of line for banning him because of his avatar change. In a perfect world, you should have taken it in stride...
Lighten up man... it must be frustrating to take everything so personally.

I don't know you, but I read that and it doesn't seem in line with the way rennlist is moderated. Getting angry and banning someone because they push your buttons may be human but it is not a good idea. You are a mod, you will naturally have more (expletive) flying your way.. When I was in high school there were kids that acted up, and there were times the teacher should have punched them in the face, but that wouldn't be an appropriate response, would it?

So if I want to do the same and take your post and twist it, I can assume you want to be able to post hardcore **** here, right?
The point is that someone did a number of things and received punishment for the most severe. If I rob a convenience store at gunpoint and then come back 30 seconds later and shoplift, getting sentenced to prison does not mean the punishment was for shoplifting.

Since your partially quoted the post about the banning, you should go back and read the entire post and the reason for the ban. That user was banned for posting hardcore ****, not for his avatars. The message about flipping off an admin was just to point out additional behaviors that were a problem.

Not saying you can't ban people but it's not good to do it in anger or for reasons that make you sound like a cop yelling for someone to "Respect my authority!" or something...
