Did MasterAndCommander deserve a ban?

I don't normally interject on stuff like this, but the Mod assumed too quickly that it was a new thread and banned the OP, when it was another member that bumbed it 20 days later.

His account has been restored. We do make mistakes sometimes, and fix them when we need to.

I agree, and I sent a PM.

I agree. The first new post was by daveymark and contained "meh". If anyone should be banned, it would be him. MasterandCommander stated ONCE after if was bumped that it was an old thread that was resurrected. That is IT. The mods need to look at the thread again.

Yeah the mod was out of line

Forum Nazism at its finest.

maybe the mod is _______?

The original is locked at OT, so they've seen it. You'd think it would be common courtesy to respond in a situation like this.

I think this is what we have on our hands...

Somebody didn't look at the date of the OP. Somebody's having PMS. Somebody works for the KGB. Unban MasterAndCommander!

Am pretty sure it was a mistake and is/will be undone.

Read the locked thread in OT, the mod responded saying it was an oversight and his account was restored

 

[SagaLore]

Okay, no problem, no need for any personal attacks against the mod. I know it was a mistake and was just pointing it out for correction.

Well I've noticed a trend where more of the threads are locked or even deleted for no apparent reason - for instance, masterandcommander's thread, as well as Warcrow's thread.

Now, I've had a few of my threads being locked and deleted as well - and it was for completely random reasons - like this, for instance - now it's just mindless neffing, but it was always tolerated unless it got out of hand, and there were always some kind of explanation/reason for the threads being locked. Now it seems as if the threads are being shut down in a random fashion.

What gives?

the mods have been cracking down on mindless neffing and totally useless threads. Off Topic does not mean Useless and Stupid Topic.
