My last thread was inexplicably locked, with so much as a reason or warning. Is there evidence for why SpuriousMonkey was banned?

There is an explanation in the ban list. That's why the first one was locked. No need for additional explanation for every ban.

There are two options:

1. You leaves, with or without 'Goodbye' thread

2. I help with permaban, if you think you'll be tempted to return.

And there is another one:

3. Turn your PC off. Go out and celebrate. When you cool your head, then come back and tell me your decision.

Anyone know why darkside has been banned? I know in the ban list it states that it's due to being a previously banned member but I thought he had been forgiven. What has he done wrong this time?

What's with the Drama Queen act?

If you want to leave, just leave.

Do you want to be able to complain later on that the nasty moderators banned you? Why not just take responsibility for your own decision?

I made the mistake some days ago in questioning a moderators knowledge on a certain subject and the vindictive ego gave me a warning , under the guise of a comment I made over a week ago . Thats what it has come down to here on this forum , half baked moderation , and we simply have no recourse against moderators as the admin is no longer here .

For having the audacity to fight for a forum that was open to all points of view , that encouraged lively and interesting debate which had mature moderators .

Because he is pissed off that the modrator did not have the manners to explain why his thread was locked .
If you want to leave, just leave.
If other posters opinions annoy you , then why don't you leave , its obvious from your reply you have no understanding of the damage you are doing .

When are you simply going to front up and admit to yourself that you and other mods are the main problem on this forum .

Banning is out of hand, surely as a forum of adults it is possibly to absorb a rogue post or even a rogue poster here and there?

Any facts to support this "out of hand" and what do you mean by it?

Besides this forum is mainly inhabited by teenagers and people with equal mentality.

Where do you fit in on this spectrum?
And if you do not, why do you keep such unsuitable company?

Bans should be put to a democratic vote...more than 51% for banning, and they're banned, otherwise posters are at the mercy of moderators' prejudices.

We have enough drama as it is. We already have a past experience of what a disaster the implementation of this idea is, if you remember.

And more than 51% is how many members?
Besides Sciforums is not a democracy and I don't agree that moderators suffer from some kind of prejudice in this respect, each ban is examined beforehand and can be overturned by Plazma.

I don't

Depends on how many can be bothered to vote

Besides Sciforums is not a democracy

Why not, and why shouldn't it be, do moderators own shares in it?

and I don't agree that moderators suffer from some kind of prejudice in this respect, each ban is examined beforehand and can be overturned by Plazma.

Many would disagree...possibly many that are not here anymore

1. Well, let me remind, that then everyone and their mother was whining for the ban of everyone else and their mothers. It was a terrifying whine fest with everyone washing other person's dirty clothes.

2. So, if two members vote to ban you and nobody else cares, you're banned?

3. It is owned and not by mods.

4. Of course they would, rarely do people agree with their sentencing to jail. It's a natural reaction.

Ban all their asses.
In fact everyone should be banned for at least 3 months a year,
just to give us a rest.
But I think it is very bad that people should whine for the ban of people's mothers.
Mother haters!

On the contrary, the admin keeps a close eye on the forum - much moreso than in the past. Maybe that's part of the cause of your worries...

For having the audacity to fight for a forum that was open to all points of view , that encouraged lively and interesting debate which had mature moderators .

I suggest you read the "Ban list" if you want to know the actual reason.

If other posters opinions annoy you , then why don't you leave , its obvious from your reply you have no understanding of the damage you are doing .

Other posters don't annoy me. If they did, I'd leave. How about you?

When are you simply going to front up and admit to yourself that you and other mods are the main problem on this forum .

What problem are you referring to? You're just generally disgruntled, probably because your anti-Israel nonsense gets challenged more often than it used to.

That has already been tried. What resulted was a series of vindictive polls calling for the banning of one person after another, started by people with personal grudges.

What I meant was for the mods to instigate the polls based on the posters misdemeanours; I realise that you can't have a free for all, because it is bound to be abused. This could also create a platform allowing the perp to state his case and in fact even to apologise publically, the actual implementation of the ban then being at the discretion of the mods.

I believe if a poster is to considered for banning the moderator should bring the case to the sciforum membership his case against the offending member should be presented with corresponding proof . The offending poster should be given an opportunity to defend themselves before being decided by vote a 51%+ vote should mean a limited ban and a 75%+ vote total ban .

I dont believe what I am reading , after it was stopped and told that anyone making such polls in future would be banned outright they made you a mod and the very first thing you do is gerrymander a thread to have me thrown off .
Kiwi123 and Brian Foley (http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=56483&highlight=Brian+Foley)
Yes, please ban both of them.
It was a vindictive and spiteful thread against me , if kiwi123 was banned it did not matter as he had 6 sock puppets , including him was to simply stack the vote against me .
