Please be advised everyone:
Those of you that know me know that I'm pretty reasonable and even though I'm not obligated, I'll discuss staff decisions with folks that approach them with me. Do not however, get the impression that a PM full of asterisks (****, etc.) and poor attitude is going to gain you any type of resolution (not one that you'd desire anyway).
On a side note...
When a staff member closes a thread then it's because something contained in that thread is either a TOS violation or perhaps even the beginnings of a fight breaking out. Whatever the reason, when a thread is closed then it is closed. If you'd like to address the reasons for the closure then contact your friendly neighborhood staff member. In 5oh those people are 85Ragtop and Mustang5L5. If they are unable to answer your questions then feel free to PM me. Creating a NEW thread to continue where the closed thread left off is bad juju. Creating a new thread to continue where the last one left off with a title such as "New thread to continue where the closed thread left off", will earn infraction points.
If this is the path you choose and want to ice the cake with a PM containing all those 4 letter words that you learned while your Dad was working on the household furnace or installing the Christmas lights, then don't be shocked when your CT changes over to "Banned".
I've got a pretty thick skin. So do the majority of the staff. I'm not NEARLY as concerned with I'm called as I am in an individuals regard for the established policies of Stangnet. For many of us, this is a second home of sorts. I serve as a staff member of this forum due to an interest in keeping it sane and civil for myself and every other member. Folks that want to come in to poop on the floor because they feel they have the RIGHT to do or say what they like because they consider this to be a "public forum" are thinking pretty poorly of the community.
