It's weird that users are always asking me for ban reasons, but they don't say anything when Andwhyisit bans people without even a proper warning.

So the reason why void was banned was because he TOLD that you're not allowed to threaten him with a ban. Which I suppose you can threaten other members with bans, so long as you have reason.
That's not the only reason.

However one thing I don't get is, or maybe I haven't seen this, is the disrespect and arrogance that he has showed in the past. I don't/haven't seen this, not to the extents to warrant you threatening him with a ban IMO.
Even if it wasn't, he should cut back on this sort of behaviour. It seems that he doesn't listen to me because he of his ego and when he was doing it at that time, he just pushed my good nature past its limits. If I remember correctly, he has said in the past that he doesn't respect me as a person in my entirity.

I never saw where he was discriminating really. So I just want to know (with quotes and other such evidence hopfully) why you think he was disrespectful or arrogant or discriminating. It would be nice if you could tell me this, because so far what I've heard has been a one sided argument from Void and I'd like to hear your side of the story as well.
He is always very confident about his opinions and himself. He automatically assumes or thinks that he is right and the other person is wrong. He has horrid manners, but he's telling most of the other members that they have no respect, while he himself has no respect for the opposition in question. He tells them what they're doing is wrong and they should stop, but he doesn't seem to stoop to take his own advice. He's pretty much the biggest hypocrite I've ever met.
His mannerisms are far too rude sometimes. He assumes that he is something force above the others who don't agree with his morals and opinions. And that's not a behaviour I would like to see on this forum. We are a community, and we should be proud to call ourselves such.
He discriminates the females, for example, when he says "show respect for the other sex, etc." when someone posts on the subject of porn. SkyeWelse did the same. It's as if they think that females shouldn't be exposed to these things. That's an old, sexist belief that women are delicate and weak. They are equally human and do exactly as we do (you know exactly what I mean). I mean, if you guys haven't notice (I'm sure you have), most if not all of this discussion was started and kept up by the forums
females! This whole idea is implausible beyond belief!
Not often, as in, if it had worked before andwhy wouldn't have had to resort to the hammer. {He did give them a big warning. None of them listened to it until they themselves were banned, even though others around them were getting it}
And the hammer is successful.
Practically all of the users who have been causing ruckus have quieted down a lot. I'd say it's working.
At least, more than just warning them had. They don't seem to take to words as much as they take to actions.
Also, hate isn't the sole thing andwhy's attracted.
The rest of us {The haters being the minority} have been joyed to finally see some action.
He is speaking as if everyone approves of what Andwhy does and only a single minority is against it. Not to mention that he is saying that everyone who doesn't agree with him "breaks the rules". It's like he's saying that his opinion is above all and everyone who doesn't agree with him has some serious problem and they deserve to be removed from the forums entirely. He always speaks like there are two groups, like he wants to split the whole forum into two groups; the ones who are with Andwhyisit (the ones who like Lowell), and "the rest, the minority, the trouble-makers," and the immediate assumption that they have no morals and are just bad in general.
That last sentence was the especially provocating part. It's like he is enjoying other people getting banned, I don't think bans are funny. He assumes that because he can push everything onto everyone else that he has power in the forums as an "influential person."
Heheh, don't assume arrogancy when I'm using facts.
I've had just as many, if not more, praise andwhy, both on the forums in and IM chatting.
Really, I don't see the problem. The bannies have broken the rules many-a-time before they finally got it. They were warned several times, but they never listened.
The rules need to be followed, several agree with me on this.
Again, of course his opinions are "facts".
See what I'm talking about? He talks about the others and giving them Names such as "Bannies". Then he is trying to make me change my opinion about it, like it's the only option. Who said that the fucking rules are ultimate? They have been made up by the
admins. Us. It's not like they are law and need to be enforced or something. (To an extent, of course. We may choose to be lenient or harsh. I, personally, prefer lenience.)

Also personally I think it's a bit harsh to ban someone just because they say "you're not allowed to threaten me D: ", but that's my opinion and in the end you're the administrator.
A user shouldn't be able to command an administrator. He or she should obey the commands of that administrator. In this respect, my standing is absolute. What he did is just painfully arrogant. It shows other users that they are free to use me like a puppet for their own gain. Some other users are pushing me around, and I don't like it. It didn't looked like he was joking about any of it, so it's his and only his fault.
GIRakaCHEEZER said:
I've got to stop dealing with this forum drama though, it's cutting into my free time too much.
Then you should probably just drop the subject. o:
GIRakaCHEEZER said:
Saying that though is a bit of a stretch though, since he doesn't say anything offsensive really (besides telling SP he can't warn him). I still don't know why Lowell was warned in the first place though.
Noxid said:
Lowell was kinda "pushing his buttons", so to speak.
Yeah, he tends to do that sometimes and it's not a good behaviour, also a reason why he is banned now. He should learn that there are limits.
Noxid said:
and the general animosity towards Lowell doesn't help things
Then maybe Lowell should think about his own behaviour? With a bloated ego like his, you can't really expect him to, and it shows. While he tells us to respect others, he doesn't seem to want to follow his own advice. He just argues everything, thinking that he is correct by default. It's unhealthy behavior, and it's not something I like to see on my forums.
He deserved this ban, and if you look around, you might realize this.
