Morba said:some of it is clarification of suspensions and bans, which i am sure a lot of people would be interested in, as the general rule on here is 'no talk about other members suspensions/bans'.
Mekrel said:Err how does it?
I typed the word in a joking way, to which it was taken as disguising a swear word. I never meant to disguise it, and I don't class the word as a swear word.
Doesn't matter if I agree with it or not, I like the forum - mainly for hardware. I very rarely post in the life sections. I don't find the rules hard to follow, and I, as a guest - have no right to complain about them.
Either be a member and post, or don't.
Simple.

Mekrel said:Who cares about clarification as to why people were suspended or banned. It's a forum, not a soap opera.
Phalanx said:an innocent swear word hardly warrants suspending someone who otherwise most likely contributes good content to the forum.
That's the only thing I can seriously criticise about this forum, everyone who posts is usually cool, the problem is none of us can really express ourselves because we've got a nouse around our necks which exists only to serve the 1% of users who are assumed to be afraid of faeces, genitals and other controversial ideas.
Mekrel said:That was the decision, and it was only 7 days.
Mekrel said:I don't feel as if I have a noose around my neck when I post. I don't feel the need to swear in vocal communication to get my point accross, so don't feel the need to on here either.

Mekrel said:Well you can't be that put off by the rules if you have racked up near enough 2000 posts since 04

I'm not saying its right but if it gets shut down surely thats enough?
