Why is AJ banned? Options

[CodeCat]

I came here and saw that AJ has been banned, but I don't see any rules that he's broken. All he did was trying to prevent another member from getting banned unfairly, and instead was attacked and then banned for it by Stinger. If you ask me, Stinger has broken more rules than AJ has.

So here's my advice to you: stop trolling our forums and go back to Fallout Studios as it caters to your taste. Second of all, get a life.

The rules say no personal attacks, yet this is quite clearly an attack on not just AJ but on just about any member that is on both this board and FS. Stinger accuses AJ of trying to stir up trouble between SWR and FS, but his own post does exactly that.

AJ himself was just voicing an opinion, as is allowed within the rules:

4. Opinions/equality.

Opinions are just that: opinions. No one's opinion is better than anyone else's so we ask you to please be mindful of how this affects another user when entering into a discussion with them regarding a topic or burning issue.

From what I've seen, Stinger's opinion was at odds with AJ's and Stinger subsequently banned AJ because Stinger couldn't take being disagreed with.

Now here's another part of the rules:

We view warn Level increases and Bans as a last resort as we believe everyone has something to offer our forums.

This is quite clearly contradicted by Stinger in his post:

There is another issue at hand, and that is that you have broken a four month long posting hiatus to come back for this. You wouldn't be trying to stir up trouble between Fallout Studios and SWR Productions, would you? You're obviously not here for the mods as you show no history of activity in those areas. In fact, what your history does reveal is that you are only here to argue with the SWR Leadership about how we run our forums. You thrive of conflict.

If you believe that everyone has something to offer, why accuse someone of the opposite? AJ came here to offer what he could - to prevent an innocent member from being banned, just as I am doing now. AJ may have had nothing else to offer, but as the rules state everyone has something to offer. Therefore, to attack someone for actually trying to solve a problem, and then banning him when he responds to his motives being questioned, contradicts the statement in the rules above.

In before a few full pages of this topic going nowhere.

You got that right so i'll end it right here.

If you wonder we do things differently the combined administration and moderation had backing on the actions token by Stinger so if your going to blame anyone blame all of us and not point a finger at one person of our administration or moderation.
Finaly we are not blindly tied to the rules so that people can find loop holes that allow them to behave in an annoying and frustrating way so instead of constantly changing rules to fix the loop holes we just get rid of those who decide to behave in such a manner.

Simple as that if you don't like that nobody is asking you to stay.

What's done is done and it aint going to change.
