Moderators, Can you let Mr Letterboy back?

[dmoore19]

Mods,

I respectfully request Letterboy be allowed back to full access to forums.

I think he truly has comments to offer and would appreciate you allowing him access.


Thanks for your consideration.

Why was he banned?
I was just curious.

I think "banning" people form a forum is idiotic.
Maybe the person he "offended", should have just put him on ignore, rather than complain about whatever it was he posted.

banned? Wow. While I didn't often agree with him in the Pub, I always appreciated his wit and humor. How is he any worse than some of the really acid and ruder posters? Dang

 

[dmoore19]

His wit and humor were often an addition to the thread.

I do not pretend to know any of the particulars of his ban from the Pub. I in no way intend to disrespect the decision of the Moderators as they often make the call based on things I have not seen. I only ask he be considered for reinstatement. I will understand if he is not.

What dmoore19 said.

Please consider this post a ringing "ditto".

 

[Allison Finch]

Ditto!!

I say this even having been the brunt of many of his posts.

 

[MMM]

A ScubaBoard Staff Message...

In the interest of clarifying how this works, the TOS outline the process whereby a member may appeal a moderation or removal of posting privileges: Membership is a privilege and reserve the right to deny service to any person with or without cause or notification. If a member feels they have been unfairly denied service or has received unfair moderation, an appeal may be sent by e-mail to appeals@scubaboard.com. Each appeal will be reviewed by senior moderators who were not previously involved in the issue that led to the appealed suspension or moderation.

Please note that the request must come from the individual member, as it is not a popularity contest. Marg, SB Senior Moderator

SIGH!

Seems to be the verbatim response sent on another thread about a pub-banned member. I'm done here, fearing a ban myself. Sorry.

LetterBoy was such a nice young man, I never would have suspected that someone could be so heartless and take the insightful things he had to add as anything other than fact....

This feels a lot like one of those "downtown revivals" I've seen happen a few times. The gnarly off-beat places with an abundance of character and an interesting vibe are knocked off for ritzy night clubs playing a 50 remix loop of the same song - and it never seems to get any more interesting than "hey brah".

Good for business, but it's kinda like taking Norm's stool away.
