Doesn't seem right to go off on him like that and then close the thread so he can't respond.

What are the reasons that Ksen's suspension would be extended? Yes, he's arguing heatedly, but he's doing so in a reasonable manner. If expressing disagreement with moderator actions causes increases in punishments I suspect things are going to go downhill very quickly.

Personally I think Sergeant Hartman's post at the end of that thread was uncalled for. Would that post be moderated if made by a regular member?

Hartman appears to have a hardon for getting the last word in. I suspect that is why the thread was closed.

I'm a moderator here and I'd like to make my view clear about all this. I've looked at cuckingfunt's earlier posts. They are very trollish to say the least. He even called someone a bitch. I do think his warning was deserved (particularly in light of his previous posts), although if it was me I would have been less, shall we say, passionate about it. I've also considered Ksen's post. I still don't understand why he posted "bollocks", and I can only think of two possibilities. One, he took issue with Hartman's manner when he reprimanded cuckingfunt. Two, he was himself being a bit cheeky. If it was one, then I don't see a problem, however he could have expressed his objections a little better, and if this is all a huge misunderstanding it could have probably been avoided if Ksen had simply made his point rather than posting "bollocks", which could and obviously was construed as a confrontational comment towards Hartman. If two, then it deserved a friendly word if anything, and not a suspension. To summarise, if anyone deserved a suspension (not that I think it should have gone that far) it was cuckingfunt, given his posting record. The warning was a little over the top but I can see why Hartman was annoyed. And Ksen should never have been suspended, however a brief word would have been appropriate, but that's all. To Hartman I say : Sorry Hartman but you were a little overzealous. The forum has only just started and we don't need this. To Ksen I say : I don't know why you posted "bollocks" and I think it was a bad move, but you should not be suspended. Maybe you were trying to lighten things up or being ironic or whatever, I don't know. To cuckingfunt I say : Quit messing around. To Ambrose I say : I think we all need to have a rethink. I don't know what, but something needs to change. To everyone else I say : I'm a bit embarassed about all this and I apologise. I don't know what else to say. But I do think that it will work itself out.

And I've just been told that Sergeant Hartman has been suspended for 2 weeks.

Manuel, the reason I posted "bollocks" to Hartman at that point was to take a bit of the piss out of him because his post to cuckingfunt really rubbed me the wrong way. That's how we'd do it at the forum I call home. And since Ambrose had been asking people at that site to sign up here I was under the impression that kind of thing would be alright here.
