Banned from TCN for absolutely no reason. Sarky edited my posts several times to make it look like I was insulting/trolling.

So I get abuse from this mod Sarky and he can't take a little bit of criticism back but instead edits my posts to say something like "Im gay for Snyper" or somesuch in post #29 and in post #30 I'm banned for it!!!

You were being needlessly antagonistic and absolutely refusing to get into the TCN spirit. Would you prefer if I'd left the the abuse you'd posted as is? Be honest, you're hardly losing sleep over this when the only reason you came to TCN in the first place was to deride the regulars.

Sarky

Oh, and for the record, FearDark never took this up with me before coming here. If he had he'd have learned that I admit the ban length was rather too much.

When was I encouraged to "get into the TCN spirit"?!

Would I prefer if you left the abuse... What abuse, examples please.

I meerly stated I was with Snyper on this issue and you got all defensive, firstly by telling me to just shut up and then by going out of your way to rise me by abusing me, you only got back what you deserved, you started this but couldnt finish it. Oh except for editing my posts to get me banned.

Would you blame me, you've obviously got a chip on your shoulder and completely unreasonable, 6 month ban for what like, having an opinion different to yours.

There is absolutely nothing in that thread I should be banned for, I've often posted in TCN and I know what its all about, a bit of fun, thats all I was doing, or do i have to go around putting "pac" smileys after all my posts for you?

Sarky

I'd forgotten about this, sorry for the delay.

Ok, I'm a little more sober since last night, emotions aren't running so high (it's suprising what you'll get passionate about when you've been drinking). And you're right, I got carried away, became overly defensive and overreacted disproportionately with you. I'm sorry about that.

I've been putting a lot of work into getting TCN out of the rut into which it's slid since amp left, and as a result I've found myself getting quite protective of the forum, as the snyper thing probably suggests. Sometimes I'll go overboard with it, and this is one of those cases.

I'm sorry I overdid it with you FearDark. I was in a serious militant "thing" there when you posted, and my response was unwarranted. I'll undo the ban now in the next few minutes. I hope this doesn't stop you visiting TCN.

FearDark

I appreciate the apology and the unbanishment, thank you.

Just goes to show voicing your concerns in the help desk isnt a futile excercise.
