I just hope to God that clinks63 never gets out of line.  If he was banned, I don't know if I could bear coming back, especially after the welcome thread he got. :lol

Well, there was 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back.  Glad everyone got their Midol last week (and that's a joke). 

Glad to know I'm not being "watched"... yet.  FWIW, I think the mods (by-and-large) do an excellent job here.
I'm actually disappointed he's not Kim Jong-Il

Well, I'd like to think everyone at least got something useful out of this.  :\

Not sure what you expected people to "get" out of it.  This is a "suggestions" forum.  You suggested more or less a joke that the "watched" icon be replaced with a death star.  We're not doing that.

Then questions were asked about how the "watch" function worked and what it meant.  Those questions were answered.

Then it turned into a complaint fest for people who have broken rules, which is not what this forum is for.

What more were you expecting?

That's really rude of you to put this down to a complaints fest by rule breakers.  I thought very good points were brought up, and they were shot down rudely like I expected.  But whatever. :L

Look, legitimate complaints or not it was an airing of grievances mostly by rule breakers. Points were brought up and addressed at length. If you want rude you can get it in the future, your attitude certainly warrants it.

Edit: The best actual suggestion to come out of this was definitely that banned members have an efficient way to message the staff to discuss the ban, and I do hope we find a good system to implement to address that.

My attitude?  Are you messing with me?  I'm voicing my opinion.

In a rather dismissive and condescending manner that you are fighting against...

Edit: In any case the thread has certainly run its course.
