To all you Andy supporters :
Should he be above the rules?
Now thats a hard question!!
No one should be above the laws, but Andy is a part of this place.
I cant understand all this hate, i agree that no one should abuse or even bent the laws, but why everything has to be black or white? Cant we all co exist peacefully?
We are all grown up fellows, arent we?
I think Andy is a kind of person that understands talk, same goes for Snoop,
i think we should insist together, to adjust our set of rules and their behavior.
Andy and Snoop have friends and members they respect here, if they dont obey the mods,i m sure that, they will listen to their friends.
Before reaching to any extreme decisions, as a permanent ban, we should try and reason with them first.
They are a core part of this community, and i believe we can find some common ground!
I consider my self as an Andy's friend, but i cannot understand why he had to be so extreme to his behavior and use such vile expressions.
Maybe he was angry with smth else, i cant see a reason for Andy to hate Ze. They way the situation was presented, i have to respect Ze's position, (Ze is another person, i ve grown to appreciate and so did Andy) !
The way i see it, no one actually hates Andy, Andy didnt directly offended no one, in the first place, he was issued a warn, probably undeserved, right after a probably undeserved ban and he freaked out, he exaggerated a bit with the insults on Ze, probably because he considered him a friend that wouldnt mind that much,
or just because he cant control his anger at times,
ok he did make a mistake with those insults, i havent seen them all, but no matter what he said, i know he didnt mean them, it was a moment of madness ( i hope) and i believe we can fix this!
Members shouldnt take it personally when they are banned, the mods are just some members like the rest of us, they cant be machines, being everywhere and being fair all the time. They miss some things, they could be biased and they may exaggerate on some occasions too.
I think Rab and Ze are fine mods, mature enough, with great devotion
(it takes sacrifices from your personal life, to spend the time they spend in this forum) and their integrity shouldnt be challenged by an individual mistake or questioned decision they had to take, despite their very own will.
I ll make a suggestion to the mod team, to change some of the rules regarding the bans. Repeated violations, in the course of time, should bring longer vacations,
but repeated violations happened in the same heated day should bring a shorter 3 day vacation.
Andy + Snoop wouldnt be that mad for those short bans, as they are now
and this rule would be the same for all the forum members.
