I have an issue concerning the grievance I posted about a week ago. I apparently made the mods uncomfortable and they locked it to save face.

I'm wondering, is that how you normally handle such situations? Or am I just the first to bother calling you on your bullshit?

Thanks.
You were being a twelve year old, demanding revenge against a (relatively) innocent person.

Your thread was locked because it was ridiculous.  Also, serious complaints about individuals are normally handled better in PMs, rather than open posts.

Now that I know the thread I'll say this. You wrongly accused us of banning you for a remark you made. Therefore the thread was pointless. It was locked to end drama.

You are still yet to clarify which remark I was banned for. How can my accusation be wrong?

It was when I asked you to follow up on your denial that you locked it to avoid answering. The thread is still there for everyone to see. You were made to look a fool. You took no action. You could not even give me any straight answers. I was banned for a "racist post" for four days while "Jesus Crotch" was actively posting racist, anti-Christian rhetoric without consequence - indeed, he was smugly and publicly reporting others who objected to his posts' content for offenses he himself was committing. These are the facts. Is his self-assured arrogance in his connections truly justified?

It was locked to end drama.
You are the one prolonging this issue, not me.

I asked for justice. I got nothing.
I asked for your reasoning. I got nothing.
I asked for simple clarification. I got nothing.

You are too intent on protecting your bigoted little friend and saving face to do your job properly. Considering your position on this board, it's disgusting. Your shoddy handling of this has only caused me to take it further than I normally would have. My ban was bullshit and you know it. All I desire is equal treatment. Also, an apology is probably warranted at this point.

I'm sorry, but I am addressing the staff, not the retard gallery.

Although, I must admit, it is becoming increasingly difficult to discern which is which.
Will you at least consider my suggestion?

By your logic, this entire thread should be deleted. It's more of a suggestion to the moderators.
So you won't consider my suggestion? Good luck making it through the 4th grade in September.

Hold on a minute.  Didn't Raist say that you were banned for a post not made in the "Hate Speech" thread?

Here's what happened. You were new and made a rather racist post during a partial invasion. Therefore you were given a 3 day ban to cool off and see if you were going to stick around. No I do not remember which post I banned you for, I was in the middle of cleaning up the forums and was issuing several bans. You then came and said I banned you for a response to jesus crotch or whoever and he deserved a ban. Since it had nothing to do with that comment the discussion is over.

When I asked him to verify what post I was banned for, he locked the thread.

Toth, to further add to prove your retardedness, Raist never locked the thread to save face or whatever. I locked it because you're being the internets biggest faggot right now. You're no longer banned, so what difference does it make at this point? Shut up, any more posts about it will be deleted.

It says why in this topic:

http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?topic=29869.0

He made a personal attack on a mod (apparently Raist), and Dogplatter banned him for it. If you look at his original post, it has since been edited by Jack, presumably because it was rude and stupid. Dogplatter is a good mod, and wouldn't have banned him unless he deserved it. Furthermore, it's only a week long suspension.

Every single post he made was nothing but rude, arrogant, obnoxiously hypocritical personal attacks.  I'm surprised he made it as long as he did.  I for one was personally fed up with seeing his threads and his advertisements for his threads in his threads.  /rant

That's funny. Robosteve does this all the time, and I don't see him getting banned for it.

And it all comes down to someone's choice as to what to call trouble making and what isn't... I for one found his posts extremely truthful and thoughtful, aswell as informative.

Get fucked, religionfag.


Woooooooow, it would appear that a MOD broke 2 forum rules AND the user end agreement all in ONE post. I hate to be an ass but this one is hard to miss... I suppose it's not ok for people to make personal attacks to mods, but it's ok for mods to make personal attacks to users.

Dogman never bans people lightly. He only does it if there is a really good reason for it so there obviously was a really good reason for banning Skeptek. Maybe it was cos he had a really unoriginal name and was retarted.

He made a personal attack on a moderator and got banned for a week. Suck it up, and learn from his mistake. This is the final word on the matter.

Some of the mods on this forum insult many users, and that's perfectly ok, but when a user insults a mod, he gets banned. Anyways I just wanted to post it here as it's the official thread for it.
