It's not like we need to pass around the hat to raise funds for the guy while he's starving in a jail cell for a week and his family has no source of income without him posting here. He gets a week of vacation from the forums.

There's a reason why there's an analogy to yellow and red cards on the forums. A player sits out a few matches for discipline... it's not the end of the world.

Just my opinion: Too many bans happening these days for my liking.

I know that "my liking" doesn't mean shit and that this forum has it's rules. But I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind the mods that this forum is also a very special place, with its batshit crazy culture and trollish vibes. At it's best, this place almost feels cartoonish. I love it.

Please don't kill all the fun here and turn this place into just another forum. There's plenty of generic, sterile, boring forums out there (see Arsenal Mania or the Barca forum, or like 10 000+ other forums).

The Albert ban was really harsh. He's a sweet guy, and always struck me as a bit shy. He barely posts. I genuinely believe he made that joke just to blend in a little. That's all speculation on my part, but the Albertmare ban just doesn't feel right.

B_Aus has been shipped out like 3-4 times now, and our resident troll Lion has been banned. It's just sad. Alex-444, one of the most valuable members we have, was banned for some "threats" ? It's just his personality to say extreme shit from time to time. Russian with a big heart and a short fuse.

This forum is so diverse in terms of it's member base. So many different and endearingly weird personalities. I feel some members are made to suffer, lately, simply for being who they are.

I agree with Albertmare bit. But the rest are their own responsibility for their own behaviours they have to take the consequences for. You shouldnt get leeway just because you are a long standing member here. Only other one I have 2nd thoughts of is Alex, I didnt want to see him banned, not because his own behaviour lead to it eventually, but that he was somewhat semi goaded and provoked into acting more and more out there with his comments, plus the missunderstandings due to language or differences in sense of humour. Fairly innocent brief ban turning into a bigger deal due to 2nd accounts or stubborness of not wanting to come back yourself sucks the most of all of these. The fact we might lose such a helpful member for so many years over something this trivial sucks.

B_A and Lion in comparison knew what they were getting into engaging in the kind of stuff they do at times. Albert in comparison prolly was like wtf is happening when he made a bit of a fib. This IMO a case an infraction or a little word would have easily solved the matter, I hope the mods see that.

As for the place getting stricter, thats your opinion, others feel safer to post without having gangs jump them, if thats the culture we talk about im glad we lost it.

Just wanted to say completely agree with this :tup: Even if I did it myself on occasion (on certain someone thats quite annoying).
