So this is the thanks I get aye, a forty-five day ban for posting off-topic in a thread where the nonsense was started by some illiterate Turk? All I did was try to justify the actions of juventuz.com's best moderator, Jacques, by stating Ahmedios deserved a ban due to the fact he was the last person to post off-topic in a transfer thread. Now what is the state of him? Ahmedios is banned, just like myself. And if the moderator is upholding his principles, I should be banned as well but wait... principles of a moderator? You've got to be kidding me!
A forty-five day ban for posting off-topic is absolutely absurd, let alone justifiable. Such an action without any sort of opposition at all just goes to show how corrupt and hypocritical moderation can be, by the EXACT means of what I was accused of. Personally, all I was responsible for was unbanning one member, namely Burke, both fairly and unfairly. While on the other hand, some moderators can prance around giving 200-day bans to whomever they choose, just because they can. Lets look at the lesser of two evils here... I unban someone multiple times who was warned both unfairly and fairly, while others dance around banning people at will and at their own pleasure. We have the best moderation on the internet.
Jack made a big STINK stating how apparently I was not part of the moderation TEAM. That's quite alright and all son, as I was never such a moderation team player. However, how many of the moderators would be able to justify a FORTY-FIVE DAY BAN FOR POSTING OFF-TOPIC??? That's right, fucking zero. Don't you dare try to justify such a ban without warning... Greg, John, Mark or Gray. You know too well that's completely absurd when looking at how many off-topic posts one could see on this forum. But as I have stated in the past, moderation is completely subjective and when losels simply go around banning whomever they please, forum quality will not improve. Thank goodness I'm out of that shit.
Martin M. knows this is the case. He was the original "Major" of this place and his crew never took such ridiculous measures for measley offenses. But nowadays people are banned for trivial nonsense, at the discretion of whomever carries the big stick around without a care. Banning regular forum members with thousands of posts for months is not the answer... neither is acting like moderation is some sort of group exercise. And the reason for that is due to the fact no moderator will agree on the same issue... considering almost every single mod has commited the exact same offense in question.
But go ahead and ban me for me good. And for the record, John warned me regarding myself letting Burke use my account, and after the warning was issued Burke has not used my account once... CHECK IT if you believe I'm lying. You know better than this, Greg, to believe the word of others whom you have not personally spoken with.
So as I write this post ever so easily, the fact of the matter is, Burke has not used my account since John issued me the final warning, and my ban is solely based upon Jack's absurd and imbecilic vision of moderation. But as you wish, ban me and I will not return... the only reason I'm coming back in such a fashion is because I'm on Spring Break and have nothing else better to do... not to mention I happened to see Nick file several complaints on the matter, which I will fight for as I've spoken with him and he's one of the better posters here despite being Milanisti. So if you lot want to wave your magic wand and act all tough, go right ahead. But think before you act.
And that leaves me to my bovva Jack. No offense mate, but you know very well you should not be a mod, just like myself. We were both better posters before this trivial nonsense and everything must end sometime. Same goes for Fliakis.
Jaecole... Good to hear from you mate, not like any of us cared or anything.
Pado... I still love you, no matter what you think of me. I'll be giving you a ring sometime shortly here.
Vinni... this summer, football team.

You could say it's a bit of a case study, if you don't take it seriously and try to uphold a standard, how do you decide where to draw the line. And do you draw one at all etc, you must appreciate the irony of it.
