This is my thread in regards to what is going on......
This place is a 2nd home for me..... I enjoy comming here, I enjoy helping others, I enjoy getting advice and learning new things. That is what this forum is for and always will be for.
I ALWAYS will have the best interest of this baord in mind and I can personally say that all the staff members do also. Sometimes it gets frustrating for staff here..... there is quite a bit to take on. Some things are redundant, annoying, and very testing on the patience sometimes. We all lose our cool from time to time..... we're only human.
In regards to recent events: When a member gets banned there is a reason for it. Regardless of what said member says afterwards...... there was a reason. The banning doesn't come at the hand of just one person either. What we need to remember is we (including the staff) don't own this website. We are just participants who give our time to help others. We need to keep in mind that we don't always get priveledged to exact details on every situation. Some things are just better off left alone.....
What we're asking is that all members please don't encourage a banned member to keep comming back and posting. I mean come on..... it's pretty childish to constantly make up new accounts to try to "stick it to the man" - if you support that then maybe your welcome here has worn out. We're not about these childish games...... we are supposed to be grown adults. Hell.... we're grown up enough to use and educate others on the use of steroids...... yet we find it perfectly fine to act like kids also.
I'm not asking everyone to get along..... hate someone all you want. Draw up posters of whomever you hate and throw darts at it in your bedroom for all I care...... but please try to keep the board as clean as possible. All that happens when this drama continues is more work for the staff..... more testing of staffs patience...... the members get irritated..... and worst of all - new members see this shit and get turned off.
Like it or hate it..... this is my stance...... and it'd be a lot easier on everyone if we'd all just adopt this point of view.
