New Rule: Posting Private Correspondence

Fucking conspiracy.

Any of us staff members could literally ban him permanently in about 5 seconds if we so wished. Yet amazingly, here he still is, to tell us how persecuted he is. We don't do it because we believe in proper procedure, and not canning people just because they annoy us.

Well yeah, any of us have the power - but not the authority.  If any of us acts unilaterally when we're not empowered to do so, the action will be reversed.  It's happened before (not with the current staff).

Oh, of course. But if there was a "fucking conspiracy" and the staff wanted him gone, he'd be gone. We'd just have an evil meeting and ban him because we're evil. The fact that he isn't shows that there is a fair and decent moderation system in place. No one has even tried to off him on the quiet.

It is a great system, that even if a staff member went on a vendetta, it would be reversed like you say. But that relies on a proper system in the first place, not a bunch of corrupt power mongers looking to single out and silence particular people.

We wouldn't even crucify Jesus, which is more than you can say for God.
