Appaently, it's only OK for the moderators to do this.

One of them started a thread "NR2003 mods", that included
links to sites that had the NR2005 mod that RSC supposedly
banned. The NR2005 mod was later deleted from that other
site, but only because First / iRacing was threatening
every web site they could find to delete such mods.

And nobody here is out to shut down RSC or cause them financial
harm. Some of us just want RSC to do their policing privately
and fairly. How could anyone be harmed if RSC switched their
warning system so that it was only done privately, the same
as every other forum I'm aware of?

I must have missed that rule when I joined up at RSC.

But as the most visible site in the sim racing community, you don't
think they shoulder a responsibility to be professional, impartial,
non-hypocritical, and non-confrontational?  I do.

I still don't understand how a warning could someone you any harm.  Also, I
had nothing to do with the situation going past a simple yellow warning for
a week.  Hell, I've had a yellow warning myself and never felt like I was
harmed or a victim of "defamation of character".

More BS, the following is a copy/paste of what I said:
"Formula One Administrations Ltd should hold the copyrights on videos. If
you can show where FOA or another division in the F1 empire such as Formula
One Licensing BV has held and since then released the videos into the
"public domain", I'll lift the warning. Otherwise, it'll only be a week and
yellow isn't that bad a color, is it?"

I have NEVER said the warning would stay for longer than 1 week or demanded,
or even requested for that matter, a letter from the FIA or FOA....

Unfortunately, I can't comment on anything that went on between you and
another member of the staff, only what I did or said.

Had you actually asked, I would've given you a day or two.  You didn't and
let things escalate with your accusations of "defamation of character".

You sent me that message as 21:37, after I logged off for the evening.  By
the time I read it the next day, you were already banned.

I think a few were merged or closed because they were duplicate threads or
turned into a slugfest, but there's nothing inherently wrong with posting
your opinions of flaws in LFS.

I most certainly am not - I knwo for a FACT that there are two posts that
are both illegal and libelous on RSC about AutoSimSport and me personally -
I also know for a fact (and have screenies to prove it) that mods at RSC
have messed with the original posts.

But yes, Remco, everyone else is definately wrong :-)

   ding ding ding...now you have got it.  You don't matter.  I don't
matter.  We are users, they are providers.  They make rules and they can
bend/break rules.  And I'm not hiding behind a 'it's my money so what I say
goes..'  Thats not hiding, thats cold hard truth.  If I pay for something,
you or God or a Monkey can't tell me what to do with it so long as it
doesn't cause injury.  
  Face it..you got a little swat to your behind and have spent all the time
since making things worse.  Too bad.  But it doesn't make the RSC boys
evil.
  I'm sorry you have had problems with RSC.  But then my sorrow changes
nothing either.  Buck up, MOVE ON.  Really I mean it this time...thread
closed.

Straw man.  My point was, that, as the most visible and most commonly
visited sim site on the planet, that it doesn't show either them or
the
community in a good light if certain moderators engage in questionable
behaviors.  This is a likely route to either irrelevance or oblivion
(for some community members, RSC has indeed started to become
irrelevant).

Imagine if an organization in a real-world community somewhere,
an organization which has a very high profile there and is able to
serve certain needs for its community, started to get all pissy and
obnoxious in certain respects.  You don't think the community
members would have a right to be annoyed?
