    Like Necron2.0 said, one of the less likable mods. Almost every post in what used to be the last page of [url=http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?351112-Is-there-a-forum-where-people-like-this-game/page3]this topic[/url] (ironically about why Warseer is full of carping, whinging and fighting) had some expression of dismay or frustration about Eldargal's banning (that's where I read about it myself) until he went through it and rooted 'em all out.

    Yeah, including several posts that were mostly relevant to the topic, with a single sentence or two talking about Eldargal. Guy's got a hell of a bug up his *** about this.

    In line with established WarSeer policy, I cannot and will not discuss the banning of EldarGal with you because we do not discuss warnings or bannings with third parties, only the account holder because it is a breach of privacy. If EldarGal wishes to appeal her banning then it is up to her to contact us herself.

    Then suddenly! BAN! Herpderp.

    Do I look and sound like a bot?
    You guys really don't help yourselves do you?

    I actually send this message to you PRIVATELY so that I am not causing a scene on your forum, because, y'know, I'm respectful like that.

    Come on, talk to me like a man, don't hide behind shadows and lies.
    I have provided clear and supported evidence of your misuse of power, I think it is you that needs to be banned mi amigo.

    Don't think that I am some defenceless neanderthal who is going to take this lying down.

    Oh wait, I'm a bot. BEEP BEP.

    I think that I should actually properly welcome, and thank, all of those people who have come from Warseer to voice their opinion and support of our cause.
    Know this, so long as you are true of heart and intention, you are welcome here. I personally welcome you as brethren with open arms.
    Should any of you need anything then I will happily be of your service.

    - Agent.

    P.S. Well done on proving me wrong in one aspect, you have proved that there are good people on Warseer, and you have provided me with the means to have faith in humanity again.

    That's rather sweet, but how many posts of 'thank god the b*tch is gone'?

    TDA, your cause? I'm the one who was banned.

    Sorry to double post, but I just emailed this to Warseer admin:
    I wish to appeal my ban from Warseer. I had not initially intended to do so, but the response from many on both Warseer and BoLS has changed my mind.



    The ban itself was completely unwarranted. The reason cited is as follows: 'Ignoring Staff Requests/Guidelines/Trolling'.



    This in itself is highly unclear as no specific posts were cited. Poor form to say the least. I can only assume it was the brief, polite discussion I engaged in with one or two others in the White Dwarf revamp topic.



    I was not trolling. I was engaged in a polite discussion over people’s perception of White Dwarf and how it would impact upon a supposed revamp of that magazine and vice versa. I was not rude to anyone, I explained my position and each post I made had a point. At the time of banning I had ceased engaging in the discussion as I felt it had run its course and ran the risk of going off topic and becoming an argument between the pro and anti GW crowds.



    I breached no guidelines, the discussion was not offensive nor was it off topic, people’s attitudes towards White Dwarf are entirely relevant to a discussion of its future. No staff requests were issued to me. I do acknowledge that an exceedingly old general staff request has been cited to me before but it was in no way relevant as I was on topic and within the posting guidelines.



    I object strongly to the idea that I had done anything that warranted banning. It is simply not the case. At the very most an unofficial warning could have been issued to those involved. I am willing to accept it was over-zealous moderation and not malice that led to my being banned.



    I would also like to appeal one of my warnings that ultimately facilitated my ban. Some months ago I received a warning for trolling over the following comment (paraphrased slightly as I can’t check the precise wording due to my ban):



    "Have you seen the types of boys who play 40k? Beggars can't be choosers"



    It was a light, flippant response to someone who made a comment that could have been seen as deriding female gamers. I made the comment to try and diffuse the situation, as a joke. It was embraced as such by at least two other forum members who engaged in some light banter over it. Yet I was warned for 'trolling' and being offensive. I protested at the time, briefly, before ultimately letting it rest. I now regret doing so and appeal it again. It was a light hearted joke based on the stereotype of the anti-social, unhygienic gamer, nothing more. At the time I posted it there was an entire thread devoted to discussing the stereotype of the stinky gamer which was left unhindered. I fail to accept that my comment was anymore offensive than that thread. By which I mean, not at all offensive.



    In summary, I believe both my ban and an earlier warning that facilitated the ban were unwarranted and I ask that they be reversed. I believe that my contribution to Warseer has, on the whole, been a positive one as evidenced by many people, privately and publically, registering their dismay at my banning.
    So now we see what happens. My prediction: ban remains in place.

    A solid response there, let's hope it gets something other than butthurt.

    I've noticed a slightly blunt approach with modding too, had a warning a while back for deviating in one or two of my posts when I was giving out snippets of info from the new lizardman army book back at the start of 2009.

    Though I was probably lucky, it came from Brimstone, who explained it would expire quickly and was nothing serious.

    Some people seem to be able to dish out the nasties, but as soon as someone gives them greif or jokes back, they raise their petticoats in fear, leap up on the table and scream "Troll!" at the top of their lungs.

    I like warseer, admittedly it's because I lurk in the project section and do little more than browse rumours and get feedback. Ironically it seems the people I talk with most all have "H" in their name.

    It was my cause because you weren't doing anything about it.

    TDA you seem to have left your email address in one of those posts - you may want to take it down before somebody suscribes you to A.T.A.F. Fan Club (Lock stock Reference).
