My Opinion:
Okay, so let me explain why I'm posting this first. The poster of that "article" is my good friend, Ian(Chemich is his DJ name). Now, before all of you jump on the bandwagon and say "Oh, of course you're going to defend him - he's you're friend"; hear me out.. I agree with him about telling a user to delete a .dll file is somewhat of a bannable offense - but why? If a user doesn't know what a file is, they should do research, figure out what it is, what it does, etc. Now, about his ban...
Honestly, I agree with him that you should be able to put whatever you like in your signature; why not, right? It's yours. Now granted, I can understand rules on signatures such as "no pornographical images, links, etc." - but to just make up a rule and add 3 days to a user's ban just because their previously banned is just stupid.(before you chew me out, read on) Is discussing a ban in your signature really wrong? I mean..really? Is it? I don't see how it is. If any of you think it's wrong, please explain to me how. Now, I can see if they say something like "Oh, this site #*)#^*$ sucks because I got banned by some &@&#(#& #@^#@^$!"; and no, I won't say what the random symbols mean. But honestly, anyone who thinks the ban was fine and in order - please explain it to me!
Has anyone had to deal with power-hungry moderators like this before? If so, support him(Ian/Chemich)! Make your "voice"/opinion heard! People seriously need to know about this. I don't know about all of you, but I'm sick of moderators or staff of any kind that just go out and ban people because they can, or add to the ban because of a user's content(in any way; signature, avatar, posts, etc.) - please tell me I'm not alone here?
