I realize all of the mods are pretty busy keeping everyone straight, to make LS1 Tech and it' s sister sites a place that people enjoy, and want to return to. I don' t however, think it would take very long to simply copy and paste the violated rule and send it via e-mail to person being banned. There was a misunderstanding where I was banned a while back, due to a troll using a similar IP address. I was fortunate enough to have a moderator reply and correct the situation in a timely manner. At first I thought I violated one of the rules, and had no clue what I even did. I sending a small e-mail to anyone who violates a rule and gets a temp ban would be a small step, toward keeping members from making the same mistake twice. That' s my two pennies on this matter!

Member receives a 2 week vacation for breaking these rules and then proceeds to come back to the site in order to complain that we did not do our jobs right because we failed to notify him of his ban Then the member boasts about another site that does not have the same rules and speaks as if he believes our rules do not benefit others. I then correct this assumption. Care to point out which part you think I'm not getting, because it seems pretty clear to me?!
He never said he was mad that he got banned. Just mad that he was banned and that was all the communication he got from the mods/admin.
So your saying that you don't think there needs to be any other communication? I think their should.
When someone gets banned there should be a pop-up the next time they log-in saying they are banned and the reason why.
Is that so hard?

As for the pop-up notification of a ban, that takes time and money. This site is not a full time job for anyone. The mods do not get paid for the time they contribute to cleaning up the site and I do not believe we should have to hold someone's hand or offer up an extra courtesy for someone that purposely circumvents the rules.
I believe the member received plenty of notification when he first ignored the rules outlined in the sticky and then ignored the warning that automatically appears when someone tries to post in the for sale section that is not authorized.
Maybe this will help you.... You are driving down a road that has a speed limit sign every mile that clearly states, "Speed Limit 40". Common sense would tell you that if you go over 40mph, you might get pulled over for breaking the law. You are listening to music and don't realize that you are now going 60. A cop pulls you over the first time and tells you to stop speeding and gives you a ticket. Then 5 miles down the same road (with the same speed limit) the same officer catches you going 100, does he really need to track you down in your jail cell to tell you why you were arrested?

Didn't I mention people forgetting rules?
How about this. Having your sig pic removed because you sized it to exact specifications with ps. But when you uploaded it to a host website (photobucket, imagethrust) it gains a pixel.
Yeah. One (1) pixel.
You log on and your sig pic is gone. No warning. No "hey I removed your sig pic" nothing. So I reload it thinking I deleted it somehow or didn't save it. Then it gets removed again and I get a smart *** pm about following sig rules or getting a ban.
That was over one pixel. Like that will slow down the site or cost them any more money.
Oh yeah time and money for a pop up? lol
You mean the same time and money it takes you to get 3400 posts? Nothing personal.
I don't know specifics about the op but how are you allowed to even view the "for sale" forum with less than 50 posts. If they can't sell them don't let them buy.
There just needs to be more communication from both sides. Seems every forum has these problems though.

Now the complete BS part of having 1 pixel over the limit. Us mods don't sit here all day right clicking on every pick to try to catch a +1 pixel over image.
And two more things about this BS. I use www.Photobucket.com, for abut 3 years, and they NEVER EVER EVER EVER add 1 pixel to your image. If anything they take away pixels for very large file size pics.
Here is my second point, when in the 3 times you had the choice to look at your profile after you uploaded the image to test it out and see if Photobucket "added 1 pixel."
Like I mentioned earlier Photobucket.com never adds 1 pixel to any images ever. I help out a SHITLOAD of members by making a sig for them since they don't have Photoshop and/or Photobucket and I will even host their sigs for them. They usually end up getting their own host but I always offer. But still right now at this momment I have about 20-25 sigs that I have made and host for my friends.
I hope you understand the rules better and how we work.
Thanks,
Craig.
