Hi there Wells fans
Just had an email from a pal, he says he got a warning to behave then seconds later he was banned.
I wonder if the wise old owels that are the mods or in this case Mr Common would explain how that works as its not in the site rules, surely that would be construde as a 'cruel' way of doing things.
Many many thanks
T.H.R.
P.S. its in this topic as this is where all the eyes are at the moment, thanks!

Let me put something into persperctive for you
Mods do not have the power to ban on Pro-Boards unless theyare trusted to doso. Both parties were banned for the sake of fairness, the situation had gone outof hand. A see nothing wrong in the temporary ban to calm things down.
Now this issue ends here, tempers will calm down and the rules of the forum will be abided by and respected, for everyones sake, if not for those who have put in the effort to set this place up.
Look at yourselves for a moment please, this is neither mature or helpful. Take five all of you. Be thankful thses forums are still here and people were given the rope they were granted til this point.
Now enough. Lock this thread please and lets get back to talking.
And this is a point for general, not the pnedragon baords.

Mr Ashe raven
I respect what your saying but I asked a civil question, I expect a civil answer, I do not like to be told of by a mod one'a'be like your self. From the email I recieved it wasnt as simple as a ban, it was a warning then seconds later without warning came a ban, to be fair to Mr Motile he was baited by Mr Lensman and he did apologise to the forum, in a conversation with you I believe.
My question stands, why was there a warning to bahave followed by a ban, its not in the site rules, it says if the behavior continues after the warning then the ban will follow, these rules were not followed.
As a member I would like to know where I stand if the rules no longer apply.
Thanks for listening mr ashe raven.

It's amazing the effect one famous film maker and one not so famous film maker can have on people!

Just one last point before I log off, maybe forever  Mr Motile appologised, go to the last post by Mr Motile on this thread and you will find it, I ask you where is Mr Lensmans appology? And yet Mr Motile was banned with out morality in my opinion. robk.proboards13.com/index.cgi?board=pendragon&thread=1111611792&action=display&start=45I dont know if Rob realises this but this forum is known as 'the camp' around the net because of the harsh maderators that work without common sense or fairness. Its why I stopped posting here to be honest. Thanks for listening. |

Good point, the apology is there for all to see.
At the end of the day, I've nothing against Lensman, but why the inconsistent treatment? And the secrecy?
All it breeds is a sense of the arbitrariness of the moderation on this board.

Let's see Lensman insults motile.
motiles responds but then apologizes for his post
Motile is Banned but Lensman, who started it, gets just a warning for his post.
Sorry, but I can't help but think there is a double standard at work here: Hines supporters get the benefit of the doubt and Hines critics get the boot.
The Mods have the right to run the board anyway they want since they own it but if this is the way the website is ran I don't have to be a customer.
Goodbye All. I am out of here. I leave the Hines supporters to their delusions and there crappy straight to DVD movie.

With respect, Horsell ahas already pointed out Lensman was banned too. Now stop it, I belive it was for the right reasons, This forum has fallen int to a childish banter and I ask everyone to take a damn good look at them selves before making any further comment. Thats my two cents |

And i thought the ABBA forums were full of drama queens!, Ashe Raven is right, regardless of if it's right or wrong does all this really have to be fought out on the forum. D.F. |

Decisions of the mods are final, we are not evil, just trying in our own way to keep the peace. We are only human and we have to make decisions and they come. WE don't need to discuss this outloud, we would never ban anyone forever unless the situation demanded it.
Lets all calm down and take 5.
