Abuse of Power?
    #4851518 -

I believe that the admin/ mods certain ones.. not all by any means.. are abusing the hell out of there power and banning some of the best members i have met on this site.. including hanky, chode, and mattz.. this is becoming rediculous
Do admin/ mods abuse their power?

I don't know the specifics about the bannings you mentioned, but there are at least two mods in the RM&P forum who need to go.

maybe they should have thought of that before doing what they did. I didn't ban them, to make that clear, but it was not an abuse of power of any sort. harassing people on that scale here is 100% not cool (especially if those rather serious accusations where totally false), no matter where they are on the site, they should know better. he asked them to stop, they didn't, it got worse, etc.

hell, the fact that hanky was posting here at all shows just how reasonable the staff is, he was permabanned before, you know?

He was permabanned for picture of someone copulating with a chicken. It you think that is reasonable, then I dunno about you.

he was banned for that, he was permabanned because that's how it works:

24 hours, then a week, then a month, then forever

being permabanned for a picture sucks for sure, no doubt, but he was given another chance.

Learyfan banned me for a week for calling someone a bitch with no prior warning and that was my first ban ever. Weak.

I don't buy that. I wouldn't lie about it, I didn't even say anything when it happened, i didn't care all that much, but believe me - it was a week.

mods can't ban for more than 24 hours, if you where banned for a week, an admin had to do it
