I was subsequently Band 3 times since 2012 or was it twice I cannot remember anymore and one of the mods who banned me on my last band admitted that they were supposed to ban Bill Paxton instead of me.
I have found all of the mods on this one to be quite fair and they have their human moments just as we have. I would not want to be moderating a forum with members who are the likes of Beanz and Ross and finita El dinamita.
FinitoElDinamita practically bought the rope, tied the noose, looked for the high branch, tied off the rope, put the noose around his neck, and jumped. He was downright racist... and was given boo-coo warnings before he got canned. Can't say I miss his metrosexual posts. His mentor I agree was racist to the Nth degree (not to mention sexist), and for some reason survived a few years. Luckily he apparently found other pastures in which to graze.
Ross is obnoxious, but hardly bannable.
As I said a few posts back before getting ambushed... Mods have a difficult job, and one of the best qualities they can have is consistency. If you're trigger-happy, be trigger-happy with EVERYBODY, and from day to day. If you're more lenient, same thing goes.
We're pretty much a community here, just going by the number of years many of us have been here. With a few notable exceptions, I'd love to meet just about everyone here personally. I'd bet it would be a blast.
Oh... I forgot Miles. Miles is a long-standing member here and.... although a bit weird at times... is a great contributor to the forum, off the wall as he may be sometimes.

I also appreciate his honesty in talking about issues like the Mods. It's not like it's the Gestapo, where one day you're talking about them and the next day you're counting bubbles from the bottom of a river.
Originality I like, even if it's controversial. Sneakiness, hypocrisy, and favor-seeking I don't. Gee......... just like real life.
