Nice to see the cogs are still turning the same way here.
There is a reason I wrote that up in the guidelines sticky. This allows the moderator at hand to make a judgment call based on the criteria listed and establish whether a forum member is either spamming or trolling. Read flebbie's post again and you will see that Samsara was well within his rights to reprimand him based on the wasteful, useless shite content of his post (not to mention disrespecting the band with the open implication of finding a leak... what, do you really think anyone believes he's just gonna find a leak and look at it and go 'whoo' and let it be?). I can't say whether a half-year ban was harsh or not, as I don't know whether flebbie has established a trolling persona on here in the past, but if he does have prior infringements then Samsara did the right thing.
It's the same old shit since I was here. There is a group of forumites who are doing the worn out rebellion thing and trying to undermine the administration at any possible turn. It comes down to being as simple as this: If you're not an asshole who posts wasteful/retarded shit all the time, you're not going to get touched by Samsara. You're not going to be woken one night by the forum SS raiding your house and deathcamping you simply for contributing to a discussion forum as any mature, intelligent, literate human being would. Samsara doesn't get kicks out of banning people, so unless you give him reason to, just relax and let the status quo remain.
..and Waz. Christ, I can't even remember how many times *I* banned him, much less how many times Samsara has done it since I left. Samsara summed it up perfectly by saying that he's been coming back for so long that nobody even remembers the original reason he should be banned anymore. The point is that he constantly broke the rules of the forum, with absolutely no regard for our warnings to him about it. Although I think by saying that few humans possess his level of virulence is being a tad optimistic about the general population.
