Yup, that's the drill over there for sure. If you disagree with a mod, you're pretty much doomed. That's what folks called fascisim in the sixties. I mean, you can't tell a mod to shut up or disrespect them for doing thier job, even on this forum. But, a simple disagreement about mundane RC chatter is really harmless. But, the mods over there will bounce you if you they feel you one upped them on something. They seem to have forgotten that the forums exist for the members and not for the amusement of the administration.
I never really understood how they could lower a person's post number as a punishment. For that matter, I never understood why they felt the need to punish members in the first place. I mean, if they lower your posts, do they also lower the number of total forum posts? And itsn't that detrimental to the forum as it makes the forum seem to be less used? Surely, they lower your post number, but keep overall post numbers the same, which means the total posts don't match the actual posts. This implies a bit of creative bookkeeping on post numbers. I could be wrong of course, but the fact that a small faupa will get your posts lowered from 500 to 25 is really a mean thing to do and is much more harsh than the original transgression. But, as the respectful Capt. Black once told me, "When all you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail." Great guy, and one of the few that I still have respect for.
