Should Strummingram's Ban be lifted

I was banned once. Emailed a mod and they told me what I did. It was dumb... I made a comment they thought was related to something else (it wasn’t, but I couldn’t prove it).

Anyway, I was told not to do it again and was unbanned.
 
Because he kept in contact with his translators from when he visited Ukraine. So he got people to send him money on Venmo so he could theoretically send it to them.

I didn't realize it was him until a bit after that happened.

Wow that was him? Something at the time told me the dude was a douche... now it’s confirmed.

Seriously... who says the “lived” somewhere for 6 weeks. That’s a trip/vacation. I’ve been in a foreign country twice as long and would never say I lived there.

You saying I can say I lived at your mom's house for the 6 weeks that I did???

He probably needed the money. I don't imagine dog walking is very lucrative.

I voted yes as I personally know of posters who have been banned for rather trivial things. One example, a poster was mocking ”professional wrestling” and a mod didn’t care for that. Banned.

Name the mod or it didn't happen.
 
Look folks, I rarely post over here anymore because I have neither the time or the energy to deal with some of the nonsense these days. I think we try to give all of you pretty wide lanes to discuss things. One thing I have said since I started here full-time back in 2003 was we try to do the best we can and we also try to be as fair as possible. I've had liberals call me a conservative because I have banned them and conservatives call me a flaming socialists because I have banned them from posting. It's not perfect. Moderating a message board never will be. I have always said it's like being a cop, you can't catch everyone who is speeding. It's not done with political bias in mind either. Just be respectful to each other and you will be fine. I know that's a heavy lift these days and things can get heated, but intelligent people can have respectful discussions and at the end of the day simply agree to disagree.

And if you have questions about moderation of the site, why a post was taken down, or why you were banned, happy to discuss it with any of you private via the DM's here on the site or my email address, which is in my signature. Thank you.

This is an awesome site, Tom. Probably the most-free site on the (non-dark web) internet. Thank you for all you do.

So about @strummingram 😅 perhaps a reprieve from his moratorium.

I've always found our moderators pretty fair and balanced, and much more hands off than on many boards, so I'll trust their judgement, although I always appreciate strummingrams's posts
