The difference is you learned your lesson from being banned as did I 
Some people you just can't reach...
It is obnoxious but I support Phins and whatever decisions he makes to preserve the forum. I am curious about this ignore function though. Perhaps we should all just ignore the offenders and the paragraph would not be necessary.

Seriously though, do what you gotta do. I'm sure the boards are a better place for all of your work, phinsup and co.

Revvin7 already told me it wasn't cool so I didn't do it again.. So I didn't.. And then I lost my privelages.. But it's not that big a deal, I don't really care..
Fre and teknics always argue with people, and it's funny, because it's just jokes. I don't know who is reporting everything or giving phins all the headaches and whatnot but don't come down on me like I'm causing alot of ****. I'll follow suit if I'm doing something wrong, so just let me know, like Revvin7 did by locking that thread and telling me it wasn't cool. That's enough of a message for me to know the boundaries. If there's a problem with me posting in Gen D so much then please feel free to PM me and let me know it's a big deal. The only time I got involved was when Srce was arguing about ABS, so I tossed my two cents in about the matter. Seems like since then everyone is at eachothers throats and taking sides.
It's stupid.
This is just Gen D. What's the big deal. I get along with Mike and Kevin because I know they are just razzing people half the time.
I'm not big on arguing in here either. I come here because it's alot different from the RX7club lounge. People here know you are just joking half the time and everybody has a much more laid back attitude - it's a refreshing change and you can tell it's a much more friendlier community over here, even through all the razzing.
I don't even know what's causing tension to be so high but **** sakes let's get it resolved ASAP so we don't have to deal with it anymore.

The only persons actions you can control are your own, so do that and you have no worries.
Ryan may have been a bit quick to take your privs for a few hours, but you see what goes on around and I am sure you can see that we are taking a pro-active effort to ensure that is does not get any further out of control.
I am sure had you of contacted him and said you get it, he would have removed it. With that said, the issue is in the past, let's look to the future, focus on how we can improve the outlook and improve Nopistons.com.

I don't understand what the deal is in the first place. If Mike and Kevin are causing too much **** then there must be a way to deal with it off the public side of the forum..
As far as I'm concerned Gen D is as fun as it is thanks to Mike and Kevin. I know they are just joking or razzing people (even me) so it's funny. People like Dramon, Yuki, and defprun we all joke around with eachother and make retarded posts just like anyone else. I razz the hell out of Dramon even though I think he's a cool guy. I'm just trying to figure out why all of a sudden Mike and Kevin are blacklisted (other than the ABS arguement which is in the past now I thought). It must be off the forums because I'm not seeing too much of it. And if it's from the way they act, then there must be alot of us that should be in just as much **** as they are for making useless posts.
You know what I'm saying? I love this place I don't post here because I'm bored, I do it because it's fun. But with all this tension it's not so fun anymore. It's like all of a sudden everything is all serious, but I come here to relax and bask in the laid-backness of Gen D.
If you are upset with me for wondering why Mike and Kevin are blacklisted and it's none of my business, then I would have to say it's nobody's business that's on the public side of the forum, so why is it here.

Thing with kevin and mike is even though they give me **** i remember after the first few posts they were mesing around with me they PMed me and made sure that i knew they were just messing around with me. And besides whenver i IM either one of them asking them rx-7 questions theyre always extremely helpful and are almost a totally different person. I do agree that sometimes mike and kevin may go overboard occasionally, maybe they need tot hrottle back a bit for a while. And phins, i agree with whatever you're doing, nopistons is a great place but I look at it this way. Before i start to get irritated at kevin or mike i step back and think, this is the internet, this is gend. And besides its helped me take myself a lot less seriously which i think has been positive. I used to be overly touchy to remarks people made about me and now i just sit back and laugh.
Life is what YOU make it for yourself. Not what you allow others to do for you.
And i just wanna make it clear phins that i support you completely i just think everyone including mike and kevin need to lighten up. Everyone is getting all spazzity n such.

The issue is with the offenders is that no matter what action is taken, they take it into the forum, that's why it's been taken to the "public' as you put it. Furthermore, it's an epidemic, it's only getting worse as more and more start to think it's fun to harass and start arguments with every other member on the forum. It's one thing if you know the person, it's another if you just sign up here and get harrassed, called names and flamed just for being here. It's unacceptible behavior. Every effort off the forum has been made with no success.
Their's a limit to everything and like all of us when we were children we pushed those limits until we found a boundry, some apparently don't grow out of that.
This is the bottom line. I am getting PM's from knowledgable, valuable, long standing members that say they are no longer going to post at Nopistons because of this behavior. When I start seeing that happen, my choice is to A) Ignore them, loose good knowledgable members and let a hand full of morons continue to drive away the rest of our members. or B) Do something about the morons and retain both our long standing knowledgable members and new members to come.
This bullshit in Gen D DOES NOT add to the quality of the forum, nor the valuable information found in other areas. When it comes down to forum quality vs. letting the idiots out of their cage to destroy the forum, my decision is obvious.
Take some time to put yourself in my shoes. Should I spend what little extra money I have each month to run a forum where I come and get harrassed every day? Should I waste my time and efforts and watch a quality community that we built be slowly eroded by a handful of hooligans? That's what you are proposing.... think about it for a minute. You are welcome to contact me on AIM if you have some concerns that you would like addressed.
