I'm sorry Burke. I like you and all, but this is not the way to argue. I understand you'd want to support your friend who's obviously not handling this very well, but he messed up and has to take the consequences.
vCash? No one cares about vCash, but it's still one of the coolest features of this forum, so it's definitely important to run it properly, out of respect for those who likes to bet.
Also, if Andy unbanned you just like that several times, as have been suggested, you have certainly been given "special treatment".
This isn't personal to either you or Andy, but I feel that the mods did the right thing when they suspended his "powers".
