    Default To the Mods: Why was Not Sure banned?

    Hello Mods,
    Can you fill us in as to why Not Sure was recently banned?

    I don't recall seeing a thread where the plug was pulled on him. Sure he had some strong opinions, but many of his posts were informative and well-thought.

    I count it as an unfortunate loss to GIM2.

    They had a reason posted, and its just temporary if I remember right, so he'll probably be back soon.

    i was banned once for making a post that I didn't mean to be racist, but i guess they thought it was so i was suspended for a week. I somehow survived being not able to post for a week though

    I think they said it had been building up to the level of a ban for some time. He is a little rough around the edges. Hopefully he'll be back.

    him book and a few others are always getting temp. banned.


    Why? Because they are idiots.


    If you can't figure it out though then lol.

    I mean wake up when you say "strong opinions"

    If if want a real answer its probably beacuse every other word they say is something racists.

    The irony or hoarder saying someone is a bit 'rough around the edges' is just too much . All kidding aside I hope Not Sure comes back as he had a point of view all his own sometimes. In a nutshell he was essentially banned for his black and white views on just about everything that translated into a number of less than friendly posts. It's one thing to be brutally honest, sarcastic, or a mixture of both, but many of his post's were simply caustic at best.

    ...Just to be clear I enjoy some of your posts too hoarder even if I don't agree with half of them .

    That's because he's "not sure"

    Hey up guys,

    we have a policy of not talking about people who aren't here to defend themselves,

    that is why one thread got axed, and why this one is being moved.

    I haven't deleted so the new people get an idea of what is what.

    Thanks for not deleting this thread and explaining why it's still here. I read a number of boards from time to time and it's refreshing that people are typically allowed so much freedom here.

    Thank you to all who offered implicit, and in a few cases, explicit support regarding my "troubles."

    I've responded in the other thread in this sub-forum, so if you're curious, go there. I've said my peace on this issue, and will move on to other topics.
