So you're cool with moderators making false rape allegations against members? I see. Disappointing, but at least you have now said that I won't be banned for having an opinion, so I appreciate that at least. Thank you.
As administrator, can you confirm that I did not break any rules in my last post, and will you ensure that AWTY will be stopped from banning me for stating that opinion, if she tries to do so? Because I'm pretty sure if you don't give me that guarantee and step in, there's a good chance I get banned for that post, because I already took her "keep my name out of your mouth" as a threat. I am happy to stop mentioning the false accusations of SA here out of respect for your forum and the sake of the thread, because I respect both and only want to contribute in a positive manner, and if defending myself from false accusations of sexual assault on minors is frowned upon, then I don't know what upside down bizarro world I'm living in, but so be it. Hopefully the thread gets back on topic, so we're on the same page in wanting that, and I promise you Boru, I'm not trying to make your life hard. Sorry for bringing any of this up in the first place, but because of the ever changing forum rules, I legitimately was not sure whether we were allowed to down talk Amber Heard. I'm glad sanity prevailed in this case.
1. The board only HAS a handful of active members, so it shouldn’t be noteworthy that only ‘a handful’ of women post.
2. I withhold judgement on the rape allegations against you. I don’t recall being part of that conversation.
3. You’ve been posting here for almost two years and have never been banned or threatened with a ban for expressing an opinion. I find it surprising that you needed me to tell you.
4. I can confirm that you didn’t break any rules in your last post (you’d know if you had).
5. You seem to think I have some sort of control over awty. I can assure you that I do not. If you are ever banned, it will be after a discussion and vote by the Forum staff - no one gets banned unilaterally.
6. You will ONLY ever be warned or banned for breaking the Forum rules, nothing else.
7. You couldn’t make my life hard if you tried.
8. Our rules are hardly ‘ever changing’. Over the few years that I’ve been on Staff, I can only recall about four additions/deletions regarding the rules. These are always announced in a PSA.
9. Try to be less of a putz.
