mwitter's ban WAS temporary, yes. It is now permanent. He has failed to see thus far what he did wrong and I'm tired of trying to make the blind man see. If he's really been on this board so long, that makes it even worse because he still doesn't seem to understand our rules, especially the no warez talk rule which we've had since about day one (or atleast 2001). I couldn't care less who's been pirating games or not, just don't talk about it here. mwitters
did. he got the same slap on his wrists (two week ban) as everyone else. The problem seems to be that mwitters somehow thinks that his being here for two years makes him somehow more justified to breaking the rules than a newbie who just logged in. I (and the other mods) beg to differ. He's now being permanently banned, not for his original offense, but for his keeping denying he did anything wrong and his attitude that he should be allowed to do whatever he pleases. Making another account when you're already banned is a banning offense too, so he's going down too for the one he made to send me his two last snooty pm's.
Let this be a warning for everyone involved : the longer you are a member here, the more you are expected to conform to the rules and not break them, not the other way around. It's bad enough when thousands of people make their account for the first time, skip reading the rules and make their first post a banning offense, it's worse when someone who should know better does it and then
has the gall to claim he's being unfairly prosecuted. Keep the drama queens for another board.
