    Is there any chance that I could use all the available sections offered to me on this site?

    I have been banned for little or no reason fron at least 2 Categories and applied for my membership to be reinstated without any response from the moderators

    I make a decent contribution to this site without offending anybody(excluding hypersensitive moderators)Dare I remind a moderator that they should not be confused with what offends him/herself over the reality of free speach and humor and a valid statement,to me its a case of the the tail wagging the dog here

    Who is running the show here?

    The reality is, there is no free speech here, this is a privately owned website.

    The reality is that people here only pick out points from a statement and use it against you

    It's not being used against you! What kind of persecution complex do you have? It's a clarification, simple as.

    Decent contributions obviously include looking for a way to clock a company car to evade a limited usage policy, and trolling AH.

    Anyway, where were you banned from?

    The site owners! Given how people are ready to sue these days, the site owners have applied certain policies. This is enforced through a hirearchy of mods and also through the helpful acts of regular posters.
    Boards is currently being sued - do you want more people to sue them?

    OK guys, you know how this goes...
    • Post the correct cat pictures
    • A page or two of trolling
    • Compare to other idiots

    I'll swing by in a day or so and lock it. Thanks!

    imeddyhobbs : I've reviewed your banning, read your private messages, hacked the planet, and have decided I will not be instructing the cat mods (who btw are my employees) to lift you ban. If you have issue with this stance I implore you to contact the ombudsman.

    Given the thread title I think you'll find dog pictures are more appropriate

    Amazing how thousands of people manage to use this site without running foul of these fascist mods.

    Is this anything more then a generalised "waaaahhh?"

    Fair enough but if a mod tells me(or anybody else)that I am banned for 2 weeks does that really mean that I'm banned forever?I find that aspect kind of confusing!

    Just reading all the replys to this thread and i find it amusing,I have a good sense of humor!!But at the same time this feedback thread seems to be the spot to come to too get ridiculed

    Anyway there ye go,hope this keeps some of you amused for a while

    PS I did not ask for any advice about how to clock a car,I know how to do that!I asked if it was really as easy as I said it was without any consequences like damaging the car

    I find your thread confusing.

    It starts off saying how you were banned from 2 categories, yet you've had no response from the moderators. Fair enough, that's a perfectly valid reason to take it to feedback. But, you don't even bother to say where you've been banned from, who banned you, and what reasons were give.

    Then you start down the "Hurrr, moderators suck, tail wagging the dog, fite da powa!" road, and get very defensive when certain facts are pointed out to you.

    You see, there's ways to go about getting unbanned. For example:

    http://pie.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055206122
    http://pie.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055200819

    Ask politely, and it generally gets you unbanned. You started a thread that's full of presumption of moderators being wrong, and you telling us off. What do you expect?

    2 weeks only seems like forever. In the case of AH, however, 2 weeks is forever.

    In short...

    Patience. ;)

    Lolcats should be brought up at the appropriate time, not because... Any lolcat I post now would merely be a cynical gesture once it was asked for.
