re: Rink shouldn't have allowed a vote to begin with It is really very simple. Here is the procedure, from the Mod thread 'original' post: "...the procedures for suspension are as follows. I must get 5 unique (from different persons) "nomination" for suspension, within a 48 hour period, via private message. I then make a post for a vote and you have 48 hours to vote, via PM or email. It will take more than 50% for a suspension." I agree that the moderator should have some flexibility to make his job easier, but to expect him to do backflips for you against the stated black-and-white policy of the forum, not to mention against the wishes of many (or in retrospect, most) in the forum is more than a little bizarre. As for your "echo chamber" and "negative tone" comments, I am one of the ones truly disappointed that you have opted to leave us rather than simply remain civil and stay. I have no doubt that had you chosen the latter you could post on topic on the Mod thread ad infinitum (if you chose). EDIT: I guess its only 2 weeks so really no biggie. EDIT2: I'd love to have you join us in the contest again. Why not put up some numbers and let them speak for you over the next coupla weeks...? Regards, JJ
