.
the mods don't randomly ban an individual because lots of members b***h and moan about the person. they ban the individual because of his or her unacceptable behaviour.
Sometimes people get banned for no reason because lot of members had issues with that person or are getting annoyed with that person even though that member is innocent.
I had that happen to an old friend online and people kept getting pissed at him for some reason. All he was doing was lurking and reading posts and making replies but people expected him to use the edit button and not make replies to posts in every new post. But when other people do the same and me, no one had a problem with it. For some reason there was some gray area for when it was acceptable behavior but it got me afraid to make replies to posts in a row there because I didn't know where the line was drawn.
So he was banned and he was able to get it uplifted but he wasn't allowed to post. They took away his posting privaldges.
Another friend of mine was banned from the same forum because he kept getting into arguements with the owner and other members and no matter what he said, drama always started. I never paid that much attention because it was mostly over polititcs. But while I hear he was a trouble maker, his side of the story was the owner is a bully and a narcisst and abuses his powers and he picked on him.
But now that forum doesn't exist. Xsorbit crashed and all the forums that were hosted by it were gone.
