Why was I temporarily banned?
The official statement was "repeated trolling", but that doesn't hold up to logic. Anything that the masses would have misconstrued as "trolling" had been dealt with days prior, in the Sony thread. That thread was closed and warnings were issued. Despite the failings of multiple posters, I seem to be the only one to have been punished. I can only presume this is due to a difference of opinion on one or more of the moderator's behalves.
Of course, TJ Spyke did go crying to the moderators when his picture started showing up. It was mentioned in the ban message, yet I was never contacted by the staff over this matter previously. The lack of communication makes any action (especially a banning) well out of line if based solely on such. Of course, this shouldn't have even been brought up in the ban message at all. I merely appropriated publicly available images and modified them to meet the terms of the fair use stipulations, as defined and plainly laid out in the United States' copyright laws. I assumed that TJ Spkye of all people would appreciate the exact letter of the law being followed when it came to copyrighted material.
So again I ask, why was I banned? If it was for the Sony thread, then I can quickly point out one or two others that should have been punished alongside me. Anything else was negligible and certainly unwarranted of any sort of moderator retaliation.
