Hobbs - I'm going to say this just once.
You're arguing for GI - for his being banned - it was not the moderators who banned him - it was Daniel. Daniel is the owner, founder and administrator of this site. What he says goes. If he decides that only one eyed Episcopalian Kangaroos are going to be able to post then guess what? That is what will happen. If daniel decides that someone is no longer contributing to this community - then it is his perogative to remove that person from the community. He is the one paying the bills. He makes the rules.

Yes - this is a community - but it is not a democracy. It is a community that has been set up with certain rules and regulations. If you don't like them or you think that they are not being administered "justly" take it up with Daniel. If you don't like having rules and regulations - you're free to go where they don't moderate and where you can post whatever you like.
The rules are in place and they are staying in place. Daniel already tried creating the pit and doing self-moderation - it was a disaster - trolls everywhere.
If you have something to contribute about how the rules are administered - then why not start a thread under "forum help and feedback" and flag it for daniel to read: Attention Daniel
Moaning and groaning about what is wrong without giving constructive suggestions and alternate approaches is going to get you absolutely nowhere. Unless of course your entire point is not to actually help the site - but to emesh it in drama.
Seriously dude - if you actually care about this site - start making suggestions. Go ahead and start a thread for each suggestion in the "forum help and feedback" section and get community input instead of moaning and groaning and making accusations.
