Mani said: My last count is 13 in favor and 5 against the ban. What is interesting is that I never asked for those in favor of the ban to speak up. The ban stays. Mani.. I am only going by what your own rules say: If the violation to the rules is "obvious", I will ban that person. I will lift the ban if I get at least 3 objections Mani then said: This is the first time he is getting banned and is only for two weeks. He can post again Feb 12th That would imply he went thru the normal procedure where he got nominated for suyspension and we all got a vote on it -- since of course the rules read that the first level suspension is for 2 weeks and so forth) Last I saw.. you unilaterally banned him.. or stated to him he was now banned and it was no glitch.... I have not seen a thread YET that said to send in your votes.. your announcement of 13-5 was the first time I've even seen mention of any type of vote. This is why I presumed that the "ban if rules violation obvious" clause was enforced and why I figured the 3 objections rule came into effect.. If you wanna ban him.. fine.. but at least follow your own procedures/guidelines that your own rules state. I quote: Otherwise, the procedures for suspension are as follows. I must get 5 unique (from different persons) "nomination" for suspension via private message. I then make a post for a vote and you have 48 hours to vote, via PM or email. Can someone point me to the message on here from Mani stating to cast your vote for this? If I missed it.. humble apologies.. but from what I read.. the ONLY thing I saw was Mani stating to Richard he was now banned, and there was no glitch this time... that doesnt look like a vote count to me. I submit that since Mani, you did not follow procedure.. by asking for a vote on this... that you used the "ban if obvious" clause.. and that the 3 objections (or 5 objections in this case) take precendence... whether 12 other people supported it in this case or not isnt relevant since thats not the procedure you used. By the way..this is why I dislike the "ban person if rules violation is obvious" clause you've stuck in here.. far too arbritary and far too subjective) My humble opinion only of course Sincerely, Scott
