Actually Infuriating

      Oh I’m sure you have a way to justify your corrupt authoritarianism. I don’t care what your reasoning is. If you ban people without them breaking rules, then the only actual rule is “don’t upset the power tripping bastards”, which I strongly disagree with.

              The statements

              “don’t be afraid to ban somebody just because they didn’t explicitly violate a rule”

              And

              “Oh, just ban whoever even if they didn’t break any rules”

              Use different words but end up in the same place.

              So how is it grossly misrepresenting anything?

              Perhaps you can give an example of when someone didn’t break any rules and you felt justified banning them and why, and maybe I’ll sympathize a little.

                  No, I decided that your statement was something a horrible tyrant would say. There’s a difference. I’m guessing you’re actually pretty decent, but wanted to address what I felt was a horrible statement that only an insane person would utter.

                  Your example is pretty vague, and I can’t say for certain that the user in question was in the wrong, but it at least sounds like you did the right thing.

                  Initially it sounded like you were banhammering people without them knowing what they did wrong, but at least in this example, you warned the user first, so it seems as though you did right. If it was always like that, my apologies for misinterpreting what you said.

                  Have a good one.
