Maybe they though you were all annoying gits and decided to ban you just
in case ?

Yeah, the site was founded and run by 2 Europeans, the server is based
in Europe, and the vast majority of admins and moderators are european.
But hey, lets not let facts get in the way of anything here, vigilant
wants to get it out of his system regardless.

Hahahah, touchy. And I wasn't referring to RSC with my Bowie quote.

Just saving these while browsing RSC. The count is up
to 8 victims so far (not including me, but I chose
to be banned rather than agree to special rules that
violated RSC's original agreement).

3 people instanbanned in just one thread, the implication
from RSC moderators is that they are all me (none of them are
me).

2 in this thread although 1 is a duplicate from the above
thread, no explanation for why the bans in this thread.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to point out here. Some of
those bannings are now quite old. I can understand your consideration for
recent ones but the rest is just raking up old stuff. As I said in a
previous post, I don't agree with their system but you are doing yourself
and your cause a disservice trying to find old bannings.

Argue your point and refer to recent bannings but leave the old ones out.

I thought the bans only lasted a week for most people. Most of the
ban victims seem to have posted somewhat recently. I wasn't paying attention
to how old the bans were, this information isn't readily available at
RSC. Just started noting them as I was browsing RSC.

There are 3 or 4 recent ones where RSC seems to be claiming all of these
are new accounts created by me. Not sure why they aren't checking the
ip's or maybe they are just choosing to ignore the fact that some here
at RAS, other than me decided to try Sirocco's suggestion and ask
about the public warning system.

LOL  Which post implies that we think all new members are you???

Did you check the ip addresses?

What, no link??  Also, you obviously couldn't have read that thread.  Well,
either that or your reading comprehension and ability to figure things out
just plain sucks.  The 1st banned member there, "philippe charuest", was
banned OVER 1 YEAR AGO.  If you bothered to view his other posts, you
could've easily inferred this.  Out of the other 2, one openly admitted to
be using a duplicate account.  That leaves 1, yep, just 1 member left there
that's banned.  Again, where's the link that implies anyone thinks it's
you??

It'd be nice if you could come up with something, anything at all, to back
up whatever point it is you're trying to make.

Last post in the thread, Dan Murray:

"Yes, when a particular banned member insists on creating several new
accounts in order to troll and malign, a similar number of bannings
typically occur."

I just assumed this was a reference to me. So Dan is implying it's
yet another banned member from RSC and not me? Did anyone at RSC
bother to check the ip's to see if it really is the same person?

I had a friend do a search for threads by member. That 1 member
only had 4 posts, none of them even worthy of a warning, yet
RSC instabans him, why?

That instabanned same member and another instabanned member in
this thread. This was this other members only post, why was
this member banned?

Based on just these two victims of instanbanning, I'd say RSC
banning is getting out of hand.

Sorry to have to break the news to you, but you're not the center of the
universe and all comments aren't actually about you.

I'd say you have clue what the hell you're talking about by making
assumptions when you don't know all the facts.

As usual you never answer the questions. One more time, is there
really one banned member creating new account just to troll and
malign as claimed by Dan? Did anyone check the ips of these
accounts?

Again, you don't answer the question. What facts am I missing?

What was wrong with the post made in this by the member that Dan
responsded to? Dan states that RSC doesn't ban members for
protesting a warning, yet the member he's responding to is
instanbanned. I don't think I'm missing any facts here.

and in my case, which of my PM's were impolite.

It's none of your damn business how many members may or may not be doing it.
Regardless of whether or not I know, or if I even cared to find out in the
first place, I wouldn't post it. As or checking an IP address, geeee, I
doubt anyone ever thought of that.....

Try reading the whole post by Dan that you keep on referring to, mainly the
1st 2 sentences and try to figure out how it might correspond to the person
he quoted...
