Vain is one of the two admins, and he did ask that any objections be made to him in a personal message...
I'm gonna get very angry here if you don't reinstate me immediately!
If I don't see my login available to me then I will be forced to be angry.
You don't want me angry.
Yep. I'm sure you have access to a variety of IP addresses via your *very identifiable* employer.
Bottom line here: You can participate in a non-abusive manner or you can test to see just how many IP's I CAN ban. I'm guessing it's a bit more than you can generate.
Dude. I am trying to be sympathetic. But yelling like that won't get you anywhere. Maybe you just need to cool down for a couple of days.
Hey Vain, is there any way you can make it so only members can post? AKA not allow guests to post? I was trying to find the function on my own, but couldn't.
Also, I added some words to the sensor that I don't particularly like. Heh.-jay

All of this can be circumvented. It's really quite easy. But you're right, I need to calm down for a few days. I'm far too close to angry. You wouldn't like it when I was angry. No one does.
I'm very sorry to see this, especially after yesterday when me and zeph were involved in some interesting disscusions. Vain, Jay, aren't you being a little harsh? But of course it's not up to me, I just thought I'd add my perspective...
No probs Hierachy. I don't make these calls lightly but when we realise that S.T.F.U = Shut The F#@K Up, then I suppose it's relatively easy to figure out that Zeph is being purposefully confrontational and basically being a troll. I'm sure he has the ability to be an intelligent and useful contributor hereabouts but his current, and past behaviour as "Lord Luof" doesn't entirely endear me to him.
I'm quite happy to reverse the banning if he is able to adopt a different stance but I don't expect that any time soon.
Zeph, if you don't want to be banned, then I suggest you treat Vain with more respect. You don't go around telling an Admin to STFU. Vain is a decent and well respected guy on this forum; so even if he were not an Admin, you should treat him with respect for that.
