[QUOTE="LBC, post: 7950144, member: 641642"] In the brief time I've been lurking here I've noticed a few trends. At first I thought the thunderdome was an anything goes section. Now I see people getting banned because they posted their opinions in the section reserved for posting opinions. The mods can say what they want to try to justify their actions, but their feelings were hurt and they didn't cite any rules violations in their bannings. So after reading his post I looked up audioholic's posts from the past. He has a history of taking things way too seriously on the internet and flexing the muscle he was given. This is not the first time he has banned someone for actions in the dome or backed the banning of someone for their actions in the dome. I am sort of laughing at the justifications. "try to insult a mod on another forum and see how long you last". What he is saying is that it doesn't matter how wrong what he did was. What matters is that as long as these mods attempt to behave a bit less oppressive than other forums, the majority of the members will stay here vs going elsewhere. I'm questioning if that's actually true or just his self evaluation. It seems off the mark to me. This whole thing is laughable. [/QUOTE]
