"I was about to be banned for stating my opinion. Why would I backspace an opinion?"
~No, you were about ready to be banned for THESE reasons:
"1. No swearing.
- I dont swear. The closest I get is heck, crap, or the basic words that aren't censored."
~That's still swearing, which is breaking the rules, no?
"2. No flame wars.
- Yeah, obviously I do this, but if you to blame me for this, you should also blame Meowrik and Sapphira because they get in the flame war, so don't blame it all on me. I can't get banned for this if a member and an admin is doing it as well."
~Arguments are different than flame wars. Flame wars are blatant insults, slander and bashing. To my awareness, I have never done this. I DEFEND what I state--and with truth and logic.
4. No advertising web sites, unless you are including it as your source of information.
- I had done this in General Chat (topic got deleted after I put some HTML in the topic title to make the topic noticible), but there were a few other members posting their sites in General Chat, so I did it too. No one seemed to care.
~Constantly referencing it to other people--beyond the thread to "recruit" members (and discussing it with those members), which I don't think is seen as "advertising"--IS breaking the rule, like "go check out my site! [link]!" You've done that MANY times.
On top of that, you've spammed the forums, another rule, and taught the "secret" to a banned person, whom you've also encouraged to destroy the forums.
That's 4 RULES you've REPEATEDLY broken, not to mention several other bannable offenses. Merely stating your opinion is not what's going against you. It's the other 6 continuous rule breaking that IS.
