Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.

No one is perfect but I prefer to leave banning up to the amateurs. Can't call our mods pro's because they aren't paid. Nonetheless, it is their call to make. If I thought the moderation here was done in a hack way I would prefer to find another forums.

I don't know why they don't tell us the specifics which made Creed's banning a permanent one but I assume it is a policy with a purpose, probably as much to protect Creed's privacy as his victim. Regardless it can't be very pleasant to ban someone we all know and like. So if they do so, it must have been consistent with the rules as they interpret them based on more evidence than the rest of us have available.

I know. I wasn't trying to insinuate that the mods acted unfairly. I was only holding out that maybe the offense was forgivable. It just sucks that one of the better members, it seemed to me, is gone for good, when we get so much garbage on here.

One of the hardest lessons to learn in life is that some of the most heinous shit people do to each other will never be visible to others outside of a situation unless those outsiders are told, or shown. And sometimes it's not worth doing because of privacy or respect. You can't always tell what people are capable of.

People were shocked when I told them about some of the things my ex said to me after our break up. "But he seems like such a good guy!" Yeah, well, even good guys fuck up (in Creed's case) or act up (in my ex's case) because of internal issues.
