I'm a bit confused.. I take a few days off, and someone gets banned..
This place is in an uproar! I am not sure what happened to get knowles banned, and from what I have read so far, I dont know if anyone really knows or understands why he got banned. Are we deserving of some sort of explaination? Does anyone know him enough to call him or email him to find out why exactly he got banned?
When we came to BN, it was to write and to do what we enjoy best. Its so sad to see people get so caught up in controversies that we get distracted from what we came here to do in the first place. Its like any community where we are going to run into conflicts from time to time, but to allow it to get so out of control, that someone gets banned, is something I dont understand. If I write a blog and someone swears and calls me names, then, yes, they should be reported and warned by shaycom, because it is uncalled for. Its one thing to disagree, but another thing to act childish and make threats. This was done to me not too long ago, but I didnt report it, because I answered in my comment and apologized for any misunderstanding of my words and that was the end of it. If they had of persisted in name calling, then I would of reported it. I have never had to report anyone yet, and I hope the day never comes that I do. At any rate though, I truely hope that if someone does make that mistake, that shaycom at least gives them enough time to retract their statements. Its too bad that shaycom doesnt give them a suspension of two weeks or something before banning them forever with no chance of coming back. Its rather harsh. I wish they would take that into concideration so at least the person gets a second chance. Then, perhaps a trial period afterwards to determine their stay with BN. That would seem a little more fair for those who just get up on the wrong side of the bed some days and come to BN.
