bandguy

Thanks for all the fun today everyone. What a riot you guys are. Anyways, deadguy is already dead, you can't kill him by banning him. He'll be back with more 'tasteless' posts. Have a nice day!

Better check the popular opinon poll in this thread. You never gave deadguy a chance to contribute. Three posts then he's banned? You've got some twisted foresight as a moderator.

Thank you again for another post on topic.

Trask: Mountain Rescue, of course. Specialed: Thank you for a comment on topic. Everyone: Please post comments on SAR on new topic in forum. This topic is about being banned and censorship.

Please post here.

Lets not let this post drift into wether or not we like SAR members. It wasn't deadguy that started that conflict. This post should be about censorship. Avatars are pretty easy to come by on this site. In reality, it doesn't matter that the avatar 'deadguy' was banned. You might as well unban him so he doesn't come back and really get you guys all worked up.

1. There was no hate in 'deadguy's posts. 2. Deadguy was not simply 'moderated' he was eliminated.

The recent avatar 'deadguy' was banned after just three posts. Each post was simply one sentence long. There was no profanity, personal attacks, porn, or slander. The reason for the ban was listed as 'tasteless'. Tasteless? Since when has anyone been banned for being tasteless. Or is this just a 'good ol' boys' club where only high rollers can get away with submitting profane, obscene, and hateful posts. And lowly lurkers get punished for making insignificant infractions.
