Interpreting Sig rules

[abarnhar]

I moved on from AO a while ago, but a friend who's fairly active keeps me up to date on how the board is progressing (or regressing, as the case may be). When moderation and intrigue gets this opaque, there's really only one thing to do:

Move to greener pastures!

There are a ton of paintball boards out there. Go find one that suits you. If the mods are banning your friends and not giving a legitimate reason, don't support the board that put them in their place of power in the first place. They aren't worth your time.

I found better boards to frequent and so can anyone else.

RobAGD: Please note that you have banned spacedtedybear for something he is unaware of.

Spacedtedybear's last activity was 9:51pm last night. Your post with the 30day rule in it is time stamped 10:31pm.

You mentioned you would look into it, but you have had time to add to the list, but not clear his ban?

I respectfully submit you have banned him in error.

We are at war with Eurasia.

We have always been at war with Eurasia.

How many fingers am I holding up?

This is rediculous. Absolutely rediculous. You know where to read my true opinion, but in deference to the standards of the boards, I will remain within the conduct rules here.

Within the recent time, the AO moderation has far exceeded its bounds in response to this situation. The Nor-Cal group of players is probably one of the strongest around. People from all around, from tons of different backgrounds. People put in time to make these events work. We get together outside of paintball to hang out.

Guys like Cbldawg and Z-man are the best ambassadors of the sport I have had the pleasure to play with.

I would not be surprised if we don't come back.

/wonders if next on chopping block...

Originally I thought the mods might have been too harsh. I even voted that they relax on the bans, but I was wrong. After contacting them via PMs on issue I was unclear about I have found no real evidence that supports the claim that they are wrong. They are doing their job. I fact I think they are doing a fine job.
After reading this thread with people pushing the envelope, taunting the mods, calling for war and just plain getting out of hand. I'm suprised of the restraint the mod staff had on the offenders. The bans were the offenders own doing to themselves. As for who is left I would think one should drop it and move on. Where ever that may be for ya. I don't care if this post will make me unpopular with you guys that are angree. I just felt like speaking my piece.
