I wanna protest the decision to ban OMJ the way it was done.
I can't think of an entire time in the history of the forums here that anyone has been banned for an admin complaint. If y'all feel that OMJ had shit going on in the background that precluded him from the community that is one thing, but you set an ugly ugly precedent there because OMJ is not the first person to fling personal insults in complaints thread.
The policy has always been that posting a complaint would not get you banned, and yeah people say some rude shit but it has always been a hallmark that you were angry in a complaint and said rude shit, things would be resolved through words, explanations, or else the thread would get locked. Opening that door makes folk less likely to file complaints, and I dare say it makes it more likely that it will happen again eventually. It's a line that hasn't been crossed for a reason.
I whole heartedly disagree with ever banning anyone based on an admin complaint unless it contained racial slurs or something like that. Even then I'd suggest just editing them out, locking the thread and posting a note. This forum NEEDS to feel like you can post here and not get banned. I know this is a slippery slope argument, but sometimes slopes be slippery.
I raise no objections to peanut posts or personal insults against my person in the replies to this thread.
