For any other youngins that are new to the concept of forums and happen to be watching this thread, please understand that: 1. It's not necessary to insult someone in order to disagree with them or prove them wrong, or to start doing it just because they started doing it to you. Keep it civil...

In the interest of not letting the thread be derailed any further, this person was banned from hosting on the Master Server for breaking one of the rules. My personal suspicion is that this behavior is due to their appeal not receiving a reply, but who knows - it's still flaming for the sake of...

MotdSpork has agreed with us to lock this thread until there are new updates to discuss. This goes without saying, but don't restart the discussion on a different thread just because.

Please don't use a thread from 2 years ago for pointless bickering. We notice.

That may be Xenforo dying on us, or just being obscure about whatever this option does exactly, but it's sure something to look into. Thanks for letting me know.

All warnings come with notifications on them, though given the time we decided to change the punishment to a ban, there's a high chance he did not get to see the warning anyway, which makes the discussion of whether there was a warning or not beforehand very pointless.

He was never banned for no reason. The reason is on the post Roy made, with a full explanation of the ban for everyone to see.

The warning in question.

Bandder was warned privately. Not all warnings are publicly displayed on the posts they're attached to. This is a valid and self-contained opinion, but it's ultimately not what I asked. My question is what is the problem with treating SRB2 modding as art rather your personal opinion on why you...

It's natural to get antsy when someone gets banned, but save for very niche exceptions, no ban is permanent - a good enough appeal usually lets you back. Considering Bandder was warned and given the whole reasoning behind his ban in advance, he should have no trouble to argue his case if he so...

That is probably because the merit of the star ratings is no longer the topic of the post I quoted. It is Platter that began to talk about how changes to prevent bullying towards creators is tantamount to censorship and what I did was to simply say that, even if it was, that's not a good argument.

This might be a hard concept to grasp at first but not every internet space is a democracy where your right to free speech is guaranteed. Of course, that applies for the community for the game we make, on the forums we run and pay for. Even if we staff were as Orwellian as you're implying, we...

I'm very confused - what part of controller-friendly level design that features smoother turns means that keyboard gameplay becomes "press 'W' to win"? Did you maybe understand that the game will turn you automatically or something? If the game was ever designed solely around KB+M, that's not...

You should. He had unfettered access to the forums until a few days ago when absolutely no censorship was placed on him on what he could say about the game, dev or staff. This is his latest activity.

What have the staff done to him that warranted any kind of harassment as payback? Not even he was able to articulate that when asked, so I'm very curious about what you have to say.
