The new "banning from thread" action

[William33 110]

Woot woot! I lured the esteemed Welshie into bad behaviour -- truly, my elevation to Legacy Member is now complete.

Didn't you know that everything now has the potential to be derailed? I mean, I could easily derail this topic if I liked, AND I could call for it to be closed and invisibilised if I chose (as the OP, natch). To that end, I have GOT to tell you about the next weird date I had, just this past Saturday. I mean, nowhere near as crazy as the previous Friday night's HJ humiliation spectacular, but still kinda sauceh.

Oh wait, am I derailing again?

Yes, revealing true intent.

I guess your snarkometer is set to off this evening, William.

This is an important point. Rob and I don't coordinate our actions. We don't have a secret command center set up or anything like that. It's all fairly spontaneous and each of us has our own reasons for doing what we do (and don't do).

What? You mean to say you really DON'T have a secret command center?

Slacker!

I'm too busy posting on VJ to set one up.

This evening?

So the final verdict in this fiasco is that sans any proof of a violation of a ToS, members of this board are still banned from a thread for not following the protocol of the thread, despite there being no directions, or guidance as to the nature of the thread? Nice. You accuse me of treating the ToS as if it were a suggestion, however, in this circumstance, it is the moderators who are circumventing the TOS and disregarding it's directives and handing out suspensions based on personal feelings. Slippery slope here.

William has already said, categorically, that I have not violated ToS on that thread. Of course, I am still suspended from that thread regardless.

ToS is secondary. Moderator whim comes first.

So the ToS is a mandate for us, a suggestion for them. Got it.

They are the Masters of your Universe.

No, they are the Masters of This small corner of my universe. The paycheck gods rule my world.
