Posting this for The Honored
Alright, before I post this, I'd like to ask. ARE there any forum rules? I am not asking this sarcastically. I am legitimately asking if there are any, because I searched and could not find them. I am assuming there are not any in this post. I'm not taking it into the direction "no forum rules means I can do whatever I want".
1) Here's my thoughts on this. Again, assuming there are no forum rules. Let's say that your new average Joe comes in to the forums and flames another user. Are you going to permanently ban this new, 5-hour user? No? Probably for two reasons. 1) He is new to the forums. 2) Considering there are no forum rules to abide by, warnings are the only thing a user can react to and change their posting You would probably warn him for the reason "Flaming other users"
2) Now let's look at my most recent ban specifically. First off, I was banned for "still trolling." What is trolling, may I ask? If I asked you both what "trolling" was, you'd also give me different definitions. Here's an informal one from the dictionary. "submit a deliberately provocative posting to an online message board with the aim of inciting an angry response"
Back to my posts.if you look again,they are random copy and pastes that I put into random threads in the forums. So, since I wasn't banned for trolling (look at other definitions of trolling if you need to; they include flaming and etc, which I did not do), what WAS I banned for? Copy pasting? Since when was that a valid reason to PERM ban someone, nonetheless without a single warning? However, continued in my last point.
3) Lastly, considering I had a ban before, the admins made an unfair assumption. The assumption was that I knew every forum rule and agreed to abide by them How is this? Well, go back to my point 1. Joe wouldn't get banned, he would get warned. And is flaming other users worse that copy pasting? I'd assume so. The fact that I got no warnings, did not, as Narcotic said, prove that
So to sum it up, the lack of forum rules has the system of warns. You didn't warn me a single time after my first ban because of the assumption (refer to the last quote I made from Narcotic) that I know the forum "policies", which, again, only exist in the administrators.
I would not be making this IF
1) There were listed forum rules that advised against what I did (which was not trolling, I'll tell you that)
OR
2) I was warned at least a single time before being banned.
Thank you for reading this completely through before making your decision.

Quote: the fact that you received no warnings in the time frame from your first ban to the last ban has a quite clear reasoning to it; you were doing everything in clear knowledge this was in strict violation with forum policies, fully aware of the consequences and ignoring numerous of our simple policies.

Quote:you were doing everything in clear knowledge this was in strict violation with forum policiesRather, it proves that an admin decided NOT to enforce the rules fairly against me since I had a previous ban but rather get rid of me as soon as possible (I'd honestly expect for personal reasons)
