in one thread we have a guy making a racist remark and nothing happening. yet we have another member post with some great photo shots and get banned.

Sh!t happens.

Got Mrvile banned? That's the most ridiculous thing in the world.
how do you know?

Well at least that's what he claims. I'm assuming he didn't do anything else.
Why do people who are banned here end up over there to complain about it? :confused:

I thought the pics were pretty cool, and aside from title format it's not like it was a parody. I've seen some stupid fvcking parodies go through without so much as even a warning... and then a more or less (by OT standards) legitimate thread gets a guy banned.

SHENANIGANS!

Not jealous... just curious why they wouldn't go there too. We get enough banned people from other forums already, lol.

I was an early member over at TFNN but that place never really grabbed me... I think the racist stuff turned me off... I hope they got a handle on that for their own sakes. ;)

since when did parody threads become bannable, I thought it was only if it was stupid ******, which just so happen to be about 2/3 of parody threads.

SHENANIGANS!

someone made a post about which banned member would they like to bring back top the forums so i made a serious post that said what band member (like kurt cobain, elvis, etc) would you bring back and my post got locked because it was a "parody".

That and Mrvile's banning really shows that mods are really overreacting to parody threads. I think it's fine if the thread is stupid, but if it's an honest thread with a point, what's wrong with it?

i think if its an obvious stupid and ridiculous parody, like most of them, it should be locked at least.
