Take your 3 day is wise, because I was going to hammer the account if you had PM'ed me from it.


So you are saying you would perma his normal account, if he appealed your offer? That doesnt seem fair at all, just say: Imma perma your main if I find out which one it is, or dont give him an offer at all.
Well, if the dude was indeed innocent, Recon would have reversed the ban. However, if the dude wasn't innocent, it makes sense for Recon to increase the length of the ban to compensate for his wasted time right? Seems fair.

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lube.

Wait, there was a carpet ban recently?

When did this happen? (If we aren't allowed to talk about it, I understand)

If you post it, they'll be banned.

The only way to do that is to lock the threads before they gain traction. Maybe if rule enforcers do their part, rule breakers can actually be discouraged. Every carpet ban is a mod saying "whoops. I failed at this moderating thing, time to overcompensate".

In this case it was "Whoa! Look what happened while I was having dinner. 5 pages? Oh hell no! People should know better. I guess that I'll have to take off my belt."

And then my pants fell to my ankles, people laughed and pointed, and so, I banned them all.

Neither do carpet bans.


Proof?

Seriously though, why is this even an argument? If you post in a rule-breaking thread, it's your fault. Entirely your fault. 100% your fault.

If you think something is on the border of being rule-breaking, you have two options. 1) Don't post in that thread; nobody is making you. 2) Don't whine when you get banned for posting in a rule-breaking thread.

Regardless of what you think of the rules and whether or not political/religious topics should be illegal or how fair you think it is that it's illegal to even reply to spam, you have no rights. If you get banned, it is your own fault and nobody else's.

Twilight Zone. Turn them into jack-in-the-boxes instead.

Unsuccessfully trying to bring science and reason to The Flood...

The simple solution is just not to post in threads which are obviously rule breaking, and some are really very obvious. More often than not it will be a stupid troll and there is no way you'll stop them.

Just report and move on and you won't get carpet banned.
