Why was Noble (1965356) Banned?
Not trying to cause a ruckus here but I'm genuinely curious why it appears this member has been banned?
From the posts that I've read, the member in question did not censor themselves; something I never felt mattered when posting on a public forum on the internet. I personally found their posts entertaining, and many offered value to the community (such as the suggestions of shops for various types of automotive work, and organization of driving events). I can understand that some posts came across as offensive to other members, but isn't that why we have the ability to "block" other members? We all have the choice of reading whatever we wish to read, and ignoring that which we don't. So why choose to permanently ruin it for those of us who enjoyed what this member contributed?
Mods, I ask: Why was he banned? What forum rule was broken to result in this action?

When forums start banning entertaining members because some of their posts are a bit edgy and some old gits on the forum are thin skinned or love reporting naughty boys to the teacher then the forum quickly declines!!!!

I could personally care less about any 'edginess' in his posts...you should hear my friends...lol
...that said, I'm surprised he wasn't banned a while ago based on what others have been banned for/against here on RL...

Yeah there's a double standard here on Rennlist when you compare the crap thrown down in the Off Topic section.
I'm a moderator on another popular car forum and I find Rennlist to be way too harsh. Even I was suspended here...LOL

Noble (1965356) was pretty entertaining and an active member, it really made the Canadian section worth visiting often. Thing is that our section is really the GTA and most people met each other, so kinda sad when you can't work things out and have to ban people behind their back.

Reminds me of people you work with that can't tolerate working out their differences with others and go complain to upper management because of their lack of ability to confront others. "Johnny hurt my feelings and because I'm too weak to confront him on it....boo hoo...I need you to ban him".
The Canadian Section needs an Off Topic section like Porsche needs another price increase on its 911. You know its only a matter of time.
