All they have to do is border the rules constantly, being a jerk but not an obvious troll.

You can report people if you see them being jerks, I think the secmods are smart enough to tell when people are trying to get away with things like that.
But yes, I'm not surprised but I am disappointed this has caused so much drama. Is the IIRC still around? I could log onto that and hold a press conference.
Actually, since I used the term to describe myself, I will. Perhaps I should petition for the warning to be removed. Is that possible? Does the fact that it was directed at me and I don't care make it acceptable? If Sharin is still on I'd appreciate his thoughts on this matter.
The rules are vague. Remember travis' Q&A thread being locked since it "might start a wave of low quality threads"
There is a rule that says moderators are free to act as they consider justified in contexts not covered by actual rules.
Which isn't to say that there's no consensus within the staff beforehand though.
Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.
Seems like all the regulars left here seem to just kiss up to the mods, and the mods seem to treat people who they like far better.
My case, spiney. Some mods clearly didnt like him, and he got banned for the most retarded reason, and then opeth posting this
I dont care that he apologized later, someone in his power NEVER should've posted someone so mean towards someone. Imagine if a normal user posted that?

And the fact it took months to unban spiney.
Thats all, im out.
Oh wow, that's not nice at all.
Well guys, I gotta go to bed, if you wanna talk to me I'm on Twitter, good night all <3
It's un-professional, but the mods having an opinion on a user and posting it shouldn't be a bigger deal than a regular user having that same opinion.
If a user had posted that, would you have reported him?

Oh, for ****'s sake. Are we still on about that? Opeth lost the right to moderate Off Topic AND received a warning for Trolling, just like any other user would've gotten for posting that. Do you want them to go to his house and spank him too? Mods are not above anyone else, but they sure as hell aren't going to get extra punished over regular users. If the forum staff cause you so much unhappiness and rage, just leave.

I'm not "kissing up to the mods". I was saying that their decisions are based on the rules, and the rules are what you should be angry at if anything.
You don't have to leave because of this either .~.
This situation reminds of the greek gods, many people expected them to be, well, god like. But they were human-like gods as well, with positive and negative opinions towards who they wish...

Not every polite, an admin telling me to leave the forums?
Troll/Flame - See "Be Polite" above. Insulting and baiting will not be tolerated.
This, this, is not polite at all. I see your point, but you coulda said it in a more polite way. But when UN didnt, he got banned.

Ex-Admin. Retired Admin. UN-admin. I put in my resignation letter almost a month ago. I am not speaking for the forums. I am saying this as a regular human being:
You are not required to use this forum. If it causes you unhappiness, LEAVE. There's a great big internet out there full of message boards run by other people. Go find one that makes you happy instead of constantly bitching and moaning.

I only get annoyed when people get banned for retarded reasons, i only came back since necro told me on steam he got banned.

This actually pisses me off so much. No mod should be such an asshole. Even if this is an online community, people obviously learn from what you do and the mods are "role models". Posting something like this is a little over the top from a mod...

Yes, and at least level 53.
