New one strike rule

[ThePenguin]

It seems to me that if you put more time into following the general guidelines, rather than parsing the language outlining the penalties for violating those guidelines, there would be no need for this exchange.

The only people who are obsessed with how strikes, suspensions and deletions accrue are those who consistently flout the rules in the first place, investing a great amount of energy and thought into circumventing them.

They also spend an inordinate time worrying that other posters are getting better treatment than they are, rather than trying to avoid needing "treatment" in the first place.

Like everyone else, the moderators and I are here mainly for Fleetwood Mac, not to play police or to respond repeatedly to concerted complaints from people who have an unending supply of them.

While it may make the forum boring for many, I am very glad to have such posters gone.

Hey Mikey, since you're now a mod, can you inform me about the status of RickyPT's reinstatement?

Thanks.

Woops, my mistake. For a minute there he came up as a moderator. I see now that he's been banned. What a shame.

I'd still like an answer to my question though.

This was my question 2 months ago about ryan's coming back -

I don't believe I was snarky. Or rude.

It certainly doesn't make one feel welcome.

and from what i have seen in this thread, that means i should go away.

If you think the moderators are biased, don't post. If you don't like the perceived favoritism, don't post. If you don't want to be here, don't be.

am i on some list of Paula's Cronies or Carrie's Army or something and that's all it takes to be ignored around here?

Pushing the elevator button again and again will not make it come any faster.

As both of you know, I sent Ryan a rather lengthy email about reinstatement some time ago and, if and when circumstances change, I'll send him another email. At that point, if he still wants to return he can.

I'm not providing updates.

Good point. But then where is the staircase?

Sorry, no, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for telling me.

- I wasn't pushing the button again, I was telling vanessa that the elevator was broken.
