Public Manifesto For The Moderators On This Site
Hi,
I've been banned with the IDs: Samsation7, Franckcisco, and Thesurgeongod from the forum and I'm here to make my case why I should be allowed to return.
I was never banned for misdemeanor or ungentlemanly conduct. I have used the name samsation7 for over a year now and later added another account franckcisco for my college roomate since we share the same desktop. Lowcel contacted me that I am only allowed one account so I acquiesced and asked what I should do to comply with forum guidelines. He said, one of two accounts must be closed, which one do you want to close? I said both because I was spending too much time on BF and it has impaired my work somewhat. So he closed both. You can ask him. I thought that I can always create another account and log back in when I have more free time. So I did. And another mod(you?) closed my new account.
So what can I do at this point? The ban was basically a self-ban. I tried to contact the email (brain@bikeforums.net) WTH is Brain? I'd like to have the Thesurgeongod as my one and only account.
P.S. I have to make another account just so someone would reply

Sam...it's Brian. Not Brain. Which is probably why the email wasn't answered.
Also, try contacting the mod/s you've conversed with in the past - offline of course.
I'm sorry I don't know enough about your situation to comment. But I do know that the mods are very reasonable people.

definition of manifesto:"a public declaration of intentions" and my post is as defined, although the word "public" is kind of redundant.

Hi Rad,
I'll send another email to "brian@bikeforums.net" Hopefully, he doesn't ban me again out of the blue without at least sending me a PM. Thanks Rad.

Now that the site is owned by a for-profit company are the mods still volunteers?

With all due respect, why the hell would you volunteer to make someone else money?
