If we can now be banned over curses in game chat, then I think any of the regulars here can receive a permanent website vacation whenever the mods or admins chose.
I also have to question the legality of such a website operating in the united states where freedom of speech is guaranteed to all citizens.International, national and regional standards recognize that freedom of speech, as one form of freedom of expression, applies to any medium, including the Internet.
When they came for Fred, no one stood up because it didn't affect them.
When they came for codeblue, no one stood up because it didn't affect them.
When they came for stunna, no one stood up because it didn't affect them.
When they came for bruceswar, no one stood up because it didn't affect them.
When they came for aeromate, no one stood up because it didn't affect them.
When they came for demonfork, no one stood up because it didn't affect them.
And when they came for me, no one stood up, because there was no one left.
This site is here because of paying customers like you and me.
I feel we all have a say in any abuses of power the site mods or admins may attempt to pull on us as a community.

How often do you think the administration is going to admit that they made a bad call, when it isn't necessary that they do so?
If FredVIII/Jeff Hardy has already cheated and abused the site enough for the admins to give him a permanent-site ban, then it should have been done before he was accused of "not breaking the rules." Abuse plus not abuse doesn't make the first abuse any worse.

Johnny, are you really that dumb? I did not private message anyone trying to conduct secret diplomacies you tool. What i did was conduct diplomacy with a player by posting on he's wall and announcing it on team chat. There is nothing secret about that nor does it involve private messages.
Im glad that the mods made it clear that i cannot write on anyone's wall proposing strategy.
At the time, i was unaware of the line "Any form of diplomatic discussion between opponents must be posted in the game chat in English or in a language that all opponents understand." Which can be found under Rule #2.
Nor was i aware of the fact that...Optimus Prime wrote:At the request of lancehoch, I'm here to verify that all communication between players regarding in-game diplomacy MUST occur within the game chat box. Anything outside of that is considered secret-diplomacy and thereby constitutes cheating.

If anything its called a minor infringement. The accusation was ruled as noted for future reference.
Johnny... screw off with your false accusations! You dumbass Troll!

This is incredibly vulgar. Yes, I can see how the mods possibly (but not necessarily) being bit harsh on a player on an online RISK forum is a lot like the way the Nazis in turn violently dealt with all the political, cultural and religious groups that opposed them.
Fucking hell.

I agree entirely. Here's the link to the real poem if some people didn't make the connection... http://edhelper.com/poetry/The_Hangman_ ... _Ogden.htm
To appropriate CC to the Holocaust is extremely distasteful and inappropriate. Even as a joke I find it to be in very bad taste. Next time try to keep your "humor" at least at a "humane" level.
"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then... they came for me... And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

My bad, demonfork foed me, and stunna played poorly in speed games, so I don't join when he is in a game. Just clarifying. But maybe I am on his foes list too.
