Non. Just joking (poorly, as likely to avoid the rain as is him improving his posting), about the inevitable of RUS acting exactly in the way that got him banned dozens of times before. I'm usually against permanent bans, but some rare case simply call for it, dont leave you any options.
If you genuinly think this forum is better off with him around, Its fine, especially since he rarely directly bothers me (ignore mostly). But its all so predictable, it t will be "fun" for a while since he was gone so long. But he will litterally pollute threads like no other quickly again when that amusement factor wears off for posters.

1) Fair enough. Donations are what I was referring to.
2) I don't know much about how to run a website, but I can make a few logical deductions and assume that people will be less likely to donate in a place where they feel less secure. I have no intention of being a pain in the ass here, like I said in my post, I just wanted to know - publicly - why I was banned for a month.
3) I think we both know this would have been a much shorter conversation if I had actually broken a rule.
Me: "Why was I banned?"
Him: "Because you broke this rule."
Me: "Alright then, fair enough."
Not because I'm such a nice and reasonable guy, but because I wouldn't have been able to argue my point and have it hold out for this long if I had actually broken a rule.
4) Same as 3. Do you feel like that line has been crossed in my post in THIS thread? Forget the other one that I was banned for, but the post I wrote in this thread complaining about the issue, does that post in your opinion warrant the infraction I got?
You don't have to answer that if you feel that the answer is no, you don't even have to have a word with X - him seeing this conversation unfold will be enough to drive the message home and have him think twice next time.

I already answered his question, what i don't have to accept is his abuse, refer to last paragraph of post that got infraction.
So to sun it up you have not presented anyone who was banned for their opinion and no 'reasonable' alternative to weeding out the tens of doubles and spam we encounter every day, yes we get that many. So in conclusion i believe i have answered as much as i can on this subject, and you are obviously free to think what you want.
Purpose of this thread is to give some sense of clarity, which it does.

Just FYI, here's a list of all the donations for the past year. 7 donations, total 75 USD. Same period the year before we received 6 donations, total 55 USD. Don't think I don't appreciate it the donations, I really do and it certainly helps. But it's a very small sum compared to what I pay every year to run this site. It's probably so few donations because I don't beg for them. I'm not a wealthy man either, my girlfriend certainly makes more money than me for example and so do most of the people I know. I don't mind though, I'm happy to run this site ad free.
Just a little info before someone else is calling me corrupt and dirty.
As for the mods it's true that the mods are much harsher than they used to be. For a long time this place was barely moderated at all. Was it better back then? Some probably would say so, others wouldn't.
