Mprep makes a good and fair point when he says "Rules apply to everyone.". It's harsh, but it's fair.

That's true, i already indicated this in my earlyer posts. The thing is: i've read his response, and in this response, he hints that it's his interpretation of the spirit of the rules that lead him to ban 41 people (or at least, that's my interpretation of his post Roll Eyes

). This makes me believe that what he did, he did with the best intentions, but it's still his interpretation of the spirit of the rules... Somebody else can have a different interpretation, and i see no harm in discussing this Wink

. Personally, i don't see the net benefit of banning most of the 41 people that were banned. Personally, the odds of me repeating this error are close to 0, but it would also have been close to 0 if mprep pm'ed me saying that i made a mistake and told me to never repeat it instead of banning me for 7 days. It seems most of the people that were banned were longtime members, most in good standing, i believe most of them would have never repeated their misstep if they were just told never to do it again... I'm nagging, i have to stop...

But i digress, i didn't want to start a drama thread, but it seems that out of sheer boredom, i keep re-checking this thread and i feel compelled to answer. Feel free to ignore my posts untill i am unbanned (or however long you want), cause in normal circumstances i wouldn't even drop by in these situations, or just make one post to express my opinion and then leave the thread.

Being stuck at home with nowhere else to go, open Bitcointalk each time and see the same ban message.

Definitely sucks to be them.

You have no idear... I have maybe 3 or 4 hours "real" work each day during this crisis... The rest of the time i have to monitor partitions and check our teams mailbox (4 or 5 mails/day, but 5 collegues are also looking at the same mails and graphs... You're basically lucky if you are the first one to see a problem/open a mail). Loads of boredom...
I made the error of opening my "normal" account and saw people derailing threads and misquoting/misinterpreting some of my posts... Normally i would have replied them straight away, but now i have to undergo everything, nothing i can do...
