Thank your for the private flame Jen. I really enjoyed just reading that in my e-mail.
In case you are not aware of it, NONE of the Mods can do a damn thing with bans, changing settings, or anything else.
The problem you are facing is a CODING ERROR brought about by the requirement of the admins to change the coding of the site to allow for GD Banning. We were never set up for that, only for PD banning.
The reason you have a problem with your account is that you repeatedly, after being warned, continued to post flame bait in the General Discussion area. That you posted flame bait was confirmed upon review by a Site Admin and they attempted to change the settings to have your current “disciplinary group” status ban you from posting in GD for a week.
But we are sorry, when the site was set up 6 years ago, no one ever planned on having to deal with that type of BS in the General Discussion forum. And when the Admins attempted to change the coding last night, they apparently did not get it completely right on the first attempt.
The only reason you are having a problem is that you:
1. Flame Baited in GD
2. Repeated the flame bait after being told by a Site Mod to stop
3. Argued with a site mod on a public thread about their warning to you for flame bait posts in violation of forum rules.
3 strikes, you got a 1 week ban. Sorry that you did so in a place that no one ever thought it would be an issue… and that in an effort to adjust THE ENTIRE FREAKING WEBSITE to account for YOUR violations the coding was not done properly the first time in order to take limited action against you as originally intended.
Perhaps, in the future, if you avoid flame bait posts, or if you listen when you are warned about continuing down a certain path of flame/flame bait posts… then perhaps you need not worry about your account problems in the future.
And this thread is LOCKED.
