This is kinda long. My real username is -FoRcE-. Yesterday at 4:33 forum time (about a little after 1am my time. I live in NY) I made a post recruiting new members and staff to my site and I posted it in the "Off Topic" forum because it wasnt really important. This is the post "Just wanted to let all of you know about my new forum. We are currently open for registration and we are looking for staff. For more information check out our forum. NO ADVERTISING" My forums site URL was where it said "NO ADVERTIZING". Well about 10-15 minutes later I come back and I refresh my page to see if any one posted like they are gona join and apply to be staff and I get this message saying something like "You do not have permission to veiw the board". SO I thought maybe its some Game Renders error or something. So I decide to see if my other account that I made when I tried making the GR Bank would sign in and it did so i decided to look though the last few posts I made on my -FoRcE- account.So I looked at the post that I made about my new forum and thats when it all hit me. Renegade posted this in the topic "Advertising = illegal at GR. Bye." So after seeing this I was kinda pissed and made a post asking if people thought I deserved this punishment. Link to the Topic Here So then a few minutes after posting that topic Renegade makes a post saying "You advertised. You were banned. Topic over. Banned again. I don't get tired of banning." After reading that I was IP Banned. DeFiaNce FTW the only one that saw the topic thought it was kinda wrong and that I should get unbanned and said I was even on his respect list. I made a topic similair to this at itsgameover.com forums and many thought that Renegade over reacted and that I deserved maybe a temporary ban but not a perment. Well thats my story so I would really like it if this can be re thought over. Renegade please do not delete this ban me or remove this. I made it because I wanted to have a say and see what others thought was right. O yeah if you want to know how I got this account I used my school's server and logged in and created the account there. If you read this Please vote in the poll and post a reply with further details. Thank You -FoRcE-
Yeah temporay ban will work fine or maybe a warning cuz IP ban is to much dont you tihnk peaps so I say bring back -FoRcE- =]
Its not even like I was a bad guy. I dont have a record of scamming ripping or hurting anyone at GR. I donated many things like my Free C3D store. I gave away customized C3D things for about a month untill I got to busy working on my own forum.
People that are banned are normally ment to stay banned from what I know. I know MANY other extremely well known people who got banned for something similar, did they get unbanned? Nope. Don't see why this should be made an exception. Rules are rules. Snipe.
Snipe but getting permently banned for 1 little post that didnt effect anyone. Its not like I scammed someone of 1000 Credits or sold reputation. How can they punish soemone for doing something like that (Selling Rep or Scamming) if the IP ban me forever for kinda advertizing. Thats because they didnt deffend them selve or do anything about it. I think GR should allow banned members to be able to post in the problems and suggestion section so they can have a say.
But don't you see, you have already made a topic like this before and a moderator has already closed it and banned you. What do you expect to happen this time? Snipe.
ok well imo, u shld have asked Shaggy or another member of staff before recruiting same as you shld before starting a clan. Also thiers no need for a poll cause no matter what the members think, the staff decision is final
It was the same mod that banned me close my other topic. They didnt let anyone else check this out. I personaly think Renegade overreacts and bas people for things that are not very bad offense. If i really wanted to advertize I would of just wrote my url in a post and posted it all over the forum.
You can start a clan on a site and post links to it outside of your signature area that includes every place on gr even the off the topic... IF HE GETS UNBANNED I'M GONNA BE PISSED!
Advertising is an automatic ban. You have been a member of this forum long enough to know better. We have had members even more respected then you, be banned for advertising. So are we going to remove your ban? Not on your life buddy. Besides that, did you forget to mention your wonderful display of racial slurs, and straight out offensive attacks on Renagade and others in the IRC chat last night? Most likely. Your being banned again.
