Why do we keep getting this bullshit again, time after time? If it isn't against the TOS, then it doesn't justify a ban. Period. Despite belief to the contrary, a site has moderators to enforce its TOS. That is their role, not to enforce harmony, not to enforce popular will - it's not a democracy - or to press their own opinion.

Don't like it? FIX THE TOS.

If a site allows their moderation to make up rules on the spot, they will always be biased, they will always be unfair, and they will always result in the site's name being dragged through the mud, your indignant whining makes no difference.

Any badmouthing of AmigaWorld is permanently justified. It's pariah status will never leave it: that's the price of being other people's political commissars. Anyone who controls themselves long enough not to criticise it is doing it a real favour.

Yet the full right to state it. Yes, again and again and again and again if he likes. And to completely make stuff up if he likes. Thats what forums are for. Normally people who do post fantasies get nailed, except where the moderator staff shelter them.

Yet I'm not seeing any powerful arguments to counter Dammy, just the usual "we don't want to hear it", "that's trolling" censorship. AWN should either learn how to win an argument, or stay out of them.
