OK, here's the story. As usual, on Friday nights I don't usually play PGC's trivia and instead I just chat along with my buddies on other channels. Well, I took a peek inside the channel window (I was already inside the channel beforehand) and I see a strange trivia question come up. I don't know, but I then used my smilie @~@. That basically means, "OK, that's... funky" And guess what! Windy has underline as an auto kick/ban and he bans me for underlining one character! He didn't even look at what I said. He just had the kick in an IRC script! Now, this was a month ago. A month, and I still haven't gotten a reply from Rick, or Windy from the email I sent them both.
Yes, I did read the rules. It says that if you underline that you're banned. But, it also stated the reason WHY you would be. I don't think I came up to those standards. This is 1.) Rude for not even replying 2.) Stupid for having me banned for an entire month for underlining one character. I also read that if you complain about an op's judgement or something like that, it's not going to help. Well, I'm not complaining about Windy's judgement because he didn't even judge if this should be considered rulebreaking.
I'd appreciate if it Rick would finally say something about this or some other mod/op. This is just stupid for being banned over something that probably didn't get anybody attention. (Which is why they dont' want color, bold, or underlining in the channel)
By the way, if I had actually underlined my message(s) like this, I should be banned. But this is just pathetic.
*I figured I'd get somebody's attention if I posted here*
Also, Rick. I found a typo in your editorial about how Nintendo fans would run Nintendo.
"Nintendo is a public company, and like any responsible public company, they’re number one goal is to be profitable."
