Following up with reported posts.

[Numenorean]

I have reported several posts, and apparently none of them have been looked at or anything done with them. I have been banned for nothing worse than what these posters have posted, and I expect the same to be applied to everyone here. Of course, these bans which broke unwritten rules kind of suck since who knows what is not allowable when it isn't written anywhere. And I was only doing what I have seen other posters do, including moderators. I have reported several moderator posts too but of course nothing happens there because they are apparently above these unwritten rules.

I'm not going to go try to find others at the moment. I'm not saying I agree with your rules, just that you should apply them equally.

For example, I was banned for effectively saying "DIAF" which apparently is not allowed (a mod said what I said, plus DIAF, etc. was not allowed) - well I had no idea before I get banned. Someone else says something that is identified in the same group of these things and doesn't get banned. How is this equal?

If I posted something apparently my posts are so important to deserve constant scrutiny and I'd certainly be banned for these things again.

I have tried to modify my posts after these bans to make sure I don't break any unwritten rules that I don't know about again. But I can only base my posts off of those of other posters - and if I can't post a certain thing but moderators can, that isn't right or fair.

Sometimes reporting takes time. Mods have to look at stuff, especially in the case of a ban they'd have to figure out if it's so deserving. It's not like you're reporting spam which is an easy thing to decide.

I learned about a year ago to not expect the rules to be applied evenly.
Thats just the way this place works.

Takes them about a half minute to ban me though and I don't even know if anyone reported anything.

Why would this be the case? This doesn't make sense to me.

I admit that a few of the first bans I got were deserved. I was pushing some limits.

But the last several were for nothing worse than I see many others do. It does not seem right.
