I actually admire him for acepting his mistake. Very few people do it.
You and the Mod who banned him say it was a mistake. So is that the Law? A judgmental Moderator who may or may not say your post or mine is considered spam is Dubbed a mistake? There is a fine thin line when you cast a judgement on a user posting and just because a Bear is in a bad mood doesn't give hime/her the right to ban a person unless it is a true Violation not a judgment call. He/she may own the site but let's be a little more consistent about the "Spam" accusations.
Just because you own a site or moderate does not give you a free ticket to mute,ban or delete posts based on your "opinion". You do this based on fact not the measurement of a sentence or how many words are in that sentence. You can post a single word and contribute to the topic without it being labeled spam. Simply agreeing with a post with a single word yes or no contributes to the the original post without being considered spam, But in some eyes if you post one word your are labeled a spammer.
The whole entire forum needs Re-Educaticing starting with the Mods.
Lets be consistent with the rules. one rule Aplies to all not just some. I have read through several Moderators postings and have found almost all have "one liners" So if one liners are considered spam who Bans/Mutes the Mods?
Let's be consistent Right?
