I was a member for some years and posted on it in good faith but it did me no favours. I was banned from it for no reason.
On the matter of screenshots, that is a legitimate act when dealing with bad faith actors, and one that is easily negated by not hiding the forum in the first place.
Mmmh.
My personal opinion is that the matter 4 weeks ago was dealt with wrongly and that one particular poster who also doxxed someone was never given a ticking off, never mind punished. A board poll regarding automatic ban was also ignored in this regard. Now, I know you admitted to errors on 2 counts (although I don't think you specifically named what they were) but it's hardly the same as saying to AJ 'I was wrong for X or Y reasons, sorry mate'. This isn't something I hold against you, but it may be what has lead AJ to ban you? I'm not sure as I can't speak for him.
I believe these are the events which lead to the subsequent creations of your nicknames of 'TUC' as well as 'Plasticine Pete'
Not really my battle but just giving my take on how I think events have panned out.
Personally, I'd love this board, the Righty board (including orange and masonic sub forums) and Faniels board to merge into one, with you, AJ and Faniel being the moderators.
