It's the end of the day in sunny London, but I couldn't log off without seeing your bump, and raising this embarrassing little episode for taldren back to the top of the posts.

We should run a book on the likelihood of Taldren staff actually replying to this thread. Does 25:1 sound reasonable?

Honestly, a million to one is far closer. But, that does not matter really does it? I can be just a subborn as they are. I have been at it longer.

Guys, these people behaved horribly towards Taldren staff.  People in general had been warned that Taldren wasn't going to tolerate that sort of thing on their boards--and still they continued.  These boards are the "Taldren boards".  It's Taldren's playground.  These people knew what the rules were.  They knew what the consequences could be.  They got what they deserved, sorry.

I don't know you, perhaps you are new. Many of us have been here for three and a half years closer to four. Belive me, these guys may play rough from time to time but do not deserve this. Look into thier rules that I posted in an earlier poet here. Lift the blinders off your eyes and see what has been said and then take an informed postion.

Hmm I hold a similiar position Hooch.  I see that I have been here (assuming this is your only name here) not quite 2 years longer than you.  I guess I am not qualified to have an opinion either   .

Fact 1 - They screwed up

Fact 2 - I have never once seen any statement that re-instatement was ever an option for anyone.  Taldren has never said that you CAN be re-instated (yes I know it is possible) so they obviously are not willing to do this.  That IS their perrogative.

Fact 3 - Nothing is stopping them from posting with a new name.

Fact - Ok not a fact, but, If I were Taldren I sure and Heck would not unban anyone because a  few (yes few less than 10 seem to have not let this go) people won't let it drop.  For if I did it sends a message that the rules only apply to those who aren't willing to apologize and/or don't have a bunch of friends look out for them.

They are banned.  So what?!?  Tell them to play nice, grab a new name, and join in the fun.  Or you can just keep on screaming and waste valuable bandwidth.

They were posting for a week or two before they were re-banned.  They had kept what they said under control and avoided the flame-fests at all costs.  Now, they're banned again.  Why?

The thing that bugs me the most is that Taldren won't respond.

When they were originally banned, a reason was given.

No reason was given this time.

Even if the reason given is that they were never supposed to be allowed back in the first place.

The world may never know.  Or... it may because it took that long to get the banning re-instated on the new forums.  Or not...  I guess I don't really worry about it.  I figure if I am a guest in someones house and paying nothing for the privledge I am just happy to follow the rules and I will leave "housekeeping" to the owners.  Taldren "owes" me nothing.  I may ask a question, but they need not answer if they don't feel they need to.  Of course I have only asked a few questions and all of them have been answered sooner or later.  

Hmmmm... Maybe it is how I asked them.  Well I will give you my secret.

I ask once in public if it is a topic suitable for public.

I ask via a private e-mail if I feel that it may be an embarassment for Taldren (if someone does make a mistake it is always "nice" to let them resolve it in private) or if I think the topic of the question is not suitable for the general boards.

There it is... that is how I have gotten my satisfaction.

Oh one more thing.  I always start by telling them thank you for all the free stuff (board, SETI group, extras for the game) and asking politely.

I suppose it is too late for many to try that on this subject.  But, give it a try on your next question.  See how well you do.

J'inn,

I loved that.

Raven,

There quite a few people asking for this.
