The rules have evolved with the site changes. The Staff is constantly communicating to improve security, reduce cheating, promote goodwill. It is the people who attempt to defy the purpose of this site, who are being punished. Punishments are the same for all members. And yes, if you disrespect a Staff member, your punishment will be more severe. We are not here to know everybody's personal busines, or why they behave the way they do. We (the Staff) are here to maintain this site in a fair and friendly manner. And although, sometimes it is an unpleasant task, we will continue to do it.
that said then, they all must have thought the same as they were all banned, so 1 no better than the other, but some got longer bans than the others

I think that the main problem with this situation is NOT that pple have been banned , BUT MAINLY THE SEVERITY OF THE BAN , a lifetime is beyond reason , ok punishment is the way of the world , but do you agree with cutting off a hand for stealing ? do you agree with death for adultery? a LIFE BAN FOR A MISTAKE ?? UP TO YOU
LET THE MAJORITY DECIDE

You may justify this easy with Proof,proof means that all of the evidence supports the conclusion and that evidence to the contrary has been examined and found to be flawed.All moderators have seen what when on and all believe the action was right.They should be respected doing there jobs but just because you are in the minority does not make you wrong.
Just because a panel of experts agrees with you does not make you right.
And conversely:If you are in the majority, you are not necessarily right.
If a panel of experts disagrees with you, you are not necessarily wrong.
people on each side believe that there is either proof (reason to be confident in the conclusions) or lack of evidence (reason to be skeptical of the conclusions).WE are not intelligent and they are not nutty,This matter was dealt with by the moderators who run the site,it may be there site with there policing ,but we make it ours with friendship,kindiness ,lets not name call,all on here equal and all need to be heard without fear of being booted , We are reasoning, thinking individuals,adults, so don't resort to name-calling just because someone is in the minority or doesn't have a panel of experts behind them. That door swings both ways.People are talking ,stating there feelings,worries,and are upset ,hope the sites liserning,im sure there are,give everyone freedom to say there bit,our friends are missing,your friends,kind people who we all loved and know.People with real problems.I been on the bed sick 7 months ,without these people my friends I would of been lost .To banned one hurts us all ,but to banned many ,questions need to be asked ,why?.its only freedom and fair to be able to be heard,thats what makes this site enjoyable ,kindiness of the love from people who care ,This site is just that,we need to get it back on track ,there is always a twinkle of doubt that an error was made along the way, but im sure they try very hard to keep to minimize the errors and doubts so that we can feel more confident in the proof.THANK YOU TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR KINDINESS .Please could you stop life time banning,week or two is enough from your friends ,lets play chat and have fun .bid!

probably the best post i've seen on this thread m8, very well said sir.

there probably were some errors made 'somewhere'...there had to have been, otherwise there wouldn't be such [negative] response. and i agree, an END TO LIFE-TIME BANNINGS!

There were different causes/ multiple causes by some, therefore, different penalties, as explained by BlackLava. As for returning from a lifetime ban, no, that cannot happen. But the subject concerns multiple members. Those who were not banned permanently will be welcomed back when their ban period is over. As far as supplying information to the public. That is nobody's business other than the Staff, and the offender.
And you can tell each other all day long who you feel has the best post in this thread. Well, by far, it is MRCOOL http://www.onlinepoker66.com/forum/s...&postcount=105

I am saying this and it will be the last time I say it: Karly was banned for 14 days for disrespecting a moderator. I checked the account and found multiply accounts associated with hers. I removed the account. Here is the best advice I can give any member. Give me no reason to check your account and all will probably be fine.

I believe we have beat this dead horse into the ground well enough over the past couple days. The general membership was given more information than required, simply out of respect for our members. No more details will be stated. We have answered the same questions numerous times, and you have had your say. Punishments will stand. If by some chance, you feel you have something of additional importance to this thread, PM me and I will consider re-opening. I would suggest to all members, consider this matter closed, and await the return of those who chose, and are able to return.
