thom has been unfairly banned along with anyone ( 5 other people now) who supports him. this post is to bring that to attention of the community. while thom can be a dick, most of his points are quite valid. disagreement isn't grounds for being banned in my book, and think sauaage is being a little dictator-like with the ban-stick. we should create a public topic where we can debate this issue adults, not just ban anyone that makes waves. my 2 cents...love to hear what everyone has to say (if i don't get banned too that is)

there is a small number that believe they have the right to say whatever they like and behave in whatever manner they choose. I will state up front - that on twistypuzzles.com, you do not have that right!

if you want to ban kirjava, great, but i don't even see what he did wrong in that particular thread

The user was not removed on the grounds of disagreement or anything of the sort. But rather a long history of issues and warnings that I will not air here.

I would like to say like many others on this thread that Ethan would like the # back in his signature.

WHY have all of these members been banned? Especially Pembo and Ethan, I don't understand at all what has been done wrong here.

There's a difference between what people can do and what they should do.

sausage is corrupt with power

heil sausage i guess

yes its just a desire to show power. if someone says something racist or hateful that's one thing, but its a joke that someone got banned just because the moderator doesn't like him personally. he openly admitted there wasn't a reason behind this, just from stuff he's said (and already been punished for might i add) before, which is a disgusting abuse of power.....and since he's so drunk with power he just wants to ban anyone that opposes his unfair, biased judgement or points it out to the community. from what i understand from many of the people i talk to are pretty tired of him being the admin anyway and most would rather have sandy back. this is why there should never just be 1 admin because they always get full of themselves......

Not to burst your bubble, but there's 2 admins, ones just not here now. Also, you state that sausage openly said there wasn't a reason behind this, although sausage has said more than once that it was because of thom's comments and everyone else's signature. He gave them fair warning and they refused to comply.

Please understand that the content of the signatures was not the issue. I cannot make that point any clearer. It was the motivation occurring behind it to try and force my hand over a decision that they did not agree with.

I asked for them to remove the sig, and they did not comply.

Guys, I have no feud with the twistypuzzles forum, in fact I like many of its members very much. An admin over stepped his boundaries. Here is a post I drew up off why we were actually banned:

This started when Thom was banned for no real reason other than Sausage just doesn't like him. Pembo and Thom were in communication, and Pembo was disgusted by Sausage's behavior. Me and Siraj entered the chat they were in, and were quickly informed of everything that happened, including the emails between Thom and Sausage. Sausage seemed to think he was some sort of god, saying things like "you come to me showing no humility." It was then that me, Pembo, and Siraj decided to change our signatures to "Save Thom." Sausage noticed it on Pembo's signature first. They had an PM conversation where Pembo said that he did not want to take it off unless there was a real explanation for why Thom was banned. At this time Rae and Speedy Mcfastfast were contacted and told to change their signatures to save Thom. Almost immediately after doing so, me and siraj got PMs asking us to change our signatures. While we were still thinking of a response, the five of us were banned. Blade740 was banned shortly after. There was no open defiance, as Rae and Speedy were never even messaged to change their signatures, and only Pembo had replied yet. Sausage then let rumors spread while making intentionally vague and uninformative posts, and then finally made his post called "situations" which contains an biased view with no actual facts where opinions are represented as facts.

As for the # in my signature, that had nothing to do with this, but it was accidentally taken out when the "Save Thom" was removed, and I still want it back.

Here is a list of people banned over this incident:
Thom, Pembo, Ethan Rosen, Siraj A, Speedy Mcfastfast, Rae, lostsofsloths, blade740, and Kingkoopa

I remember the days when this use to be a puzzle forum only. No signature, no sub forums, just a good old puzzle forum. That is all that was discussed. No wonder I don't find myself here on a daily basis anymore.

If no one has any particular objection, I'll close this thread off.

This is a pretty old topic. The business has been dealt with and since, the forum is more or less back it's old self.

If no one has any particular objection, I'll close this thread off.
