 |
|
wow, I make a wrong move, I loose my temper a little for the first time, and I get banned? is that the gentoo way? without warning, no first warning,
okay, Earthwings , I know I fouled up, but to ban my account for a first offence, that's a bit harsh....,
well if that's the gentoo way...I'm outta here, another dedicated open source fan, demoralised....
I've now lost all my post's , my bugzilla entries... I can't even mail you to say 'hey, sorry' because your bouncing mail from that address...
and I can't even get to talk to anyone about reinstatement, it's case of your banned..and that's it.
where is the justice in the world eh? 
even a convicted *FIRST* offending criminal like me, needs a second chance, or a chance of re-education... 
I'll leave it at that... I'm now cooler, are you people as cool?
I'm not familiar with german law, but do you treat first time criminal so harshly in your country?

My former account (now called Gherald2) was banned, and I never really got an explanation.
So.. enjoy your new forum name!

Wow, a whole 66 posts. I'm dying with sympathy...

Using a new account/address gonna kill you?
Moderators have enough to deal with already. Quit bitching, and start mending your ways. |

| If you can't afford to be even slightly polite in the forums, what makes you think the mods are even going to listen when you beg for forgiveness? That post was way out of line and I don't know if it was a bad day for you or something....but don't expect sympathy for acting like that and getting banned. The mods were probably giving you time to cool off before you came back. Now they know you've got a new name (if they didnt already) and are going to remember it next time. Behave and you'll get along fine. Start venting at the mods for doing their job....well we'll be looking forward to seeing your next account name. |

It's not exactly as if you were the victim. You crossed the line pretty much and got banned because of attacking another member of this community. | Quote: | go and kill yourself, scum like you shoud'nt even be allowed to run unix...

is bannable.

Send a mail to forum-mods@gentoo.org and do not create second accounts to continue posting.

So you dont think it is anything to do with your attitude?
out of 85966 registered users you think you are being targeted?

thx for your reply - not
Did you even read my posting? well ... whatever

so I'd stick by what I said, forget it, forget the whole thing, I've got my new user, and I'm happy,
if these sick moderators want to target me personally, if that gives them pleasure , so be it..
look I'm happy..
I'm a happy gentoo users, just like , next time when someone gets out of order, I'll just tell them to rm -rf /
or something... and keep the 'kill yourself' remarks to myself.

Well i'm not happy. We don't ban users so that they just create a new account.

Report guidelines violations here. And now please go read the forum guidelines in the N&A forum and the guidelines for OTW.

The rules are pretty simple: make a personal offense, get banned. No warnings, no nothing. Our position is firm on personal agressions.
