We have a banned thread where admin kindly post the offenders forum name and sometimes the reason for the ban. For good reason I suspect, it's locked but of course that means there is no easy way to state your case as to why you felt it unjust.
So here is your 'soap-box' if you like, a way to explain your reasons for doing whatever it was that earned you a ban and why you feel it was an unjust punishment.
Now I think that is a fair and reasonable thing to do but it must have some rules which you have to agree to abide by before posting here. These will probably need to be self policed because I'm in no position to place restrictions, so follow them please as it's in your interest.
1. You get one shot to state your case, one post and that's it. If you feel you have been treated unjustly then thats all you should need for others to decide if they agree with your claim or not.
2. Expect a right of reply which is only fair, that reply can only come from an admin, it's not a thread for arguing the toss or picking the nuances from gripes in post after post, nor is it an opportunity for others to stick their twopennyworth in - it's strictly between the plaintive member and mod, otherwise it becomes just another troll fest.
Of course I would prefer this to be a members only thread because it's only members who get banned and guests will no doubt want to by- pass the self imposed rules, like they do - but I have no control over that.
So can you do that? Can you state your case and accept a reply and that be the end of it? leave your peers to make their own mind up about the rights and wrongs? - If you can, then this is the thread for you.
Try to play nicely and stick by the rules, there's a good chap/chapess.
I'm not one to be policed in real life and am not shy when it comes to challenging unfairness, so would definitely end up banned. Also, I realise it must be very difficult, if not impossible to be a Mod and a member simultaneously.
