    May i ask, the decision to ban Alen taken unanimously by the mods or just a few or just one? I know it won't change a thing but i'd like an honest answer.
    Back in the days when I was a mod, I used to take a decision, do it and afterwards ask the others about their opinion, most of the time it was agreed upon unanimously :D

    Yeah. I got a PM last night was like "WTF".:D
    And then you must have been like; "Oh, look... Let's ban this crazy person. This would make me look so good with the other arse licking members. Why would I need to check if there were even other mods involved?".

    Good on you, E.

    Brilliant moderating there, mod. It's not like you were dealing with one of the best posters this forum ever had.
    He took action. If anything mods have done that's been a fuck up with this situation, it's been us not taking action sooner. So good on Aaron for not making that mistake.

    I banned him myself without consulting the others. But we're discussing it and a decision will be made in the next day or so.
    Can you honestly say you made the right decision?

    Mods don't have a button to unmod the other, if that's what you are wondering what isn't happening that should.

    That said, there is internal censorship for certain. We just don't make public floggings out of it.
    That's all fine & well but none of you had the decency to apologize to Fabi. You mods didn't even delete his offensive post or make him apologize & yet what Alen was so horrendous that it warranted an instaban.

    The power hungry mod. Still remember who gave you that title?:D

    So why not take action with Burke. It's never too late you know.

    Actions have consequences. I don't think Aaron considered all the consequences before he got excited with the ban button. It's actually very simple. You either blame everyone involved with the joke, or nobody. I thought you people cared about consistency, but you're the same people who didn't take action on Buerke for all these years, so go figure.

    It's not the joke that is being punished, it's the dual account.

    Ok i remember there was a new rule related to abusive reps and pms when the new batch of mods came in and i agree with them. But the new rule didnt apply to reps a month older than when the rule came...so unban alen...make a rule u cant have dupe accounts and penalise him if he does it again. Or keep him banned n bam burke as well (maybe a few other favourites)

    Btw fabi and burke's case wasnt the only one that has happened...o remember the indian thread andy created and twinkle doo and twinklee dumb getting their ass handed to them by preet...burke's insults in that thread were worse than retarded RUS on steriods.

    The beauty about being a mod is that I can press "lift ban" whenever I want. Unless it's infraction based.

    Believe it or not I actually considered banning everyone involved.

    We should have deleted his post. But the other two were definitely addressed.
