Default Wondering why my buddy was banned?

wb_white_boy was his s/n and he hasnt been a member that long hes actually my roomate. when he logs in it just says banned and reason...sorry pal and time to have account back open...never WTF did he do wrong? Was it because his s/n is racial? hes just used that name for years and never really thought about it and we were curious of what he really did wrong and if its the s/n can he register a diff name thats not offensive?

i can see you getting banned also for asking this....the mods on here dont **** around with the banned ****, your banned, your banned. with or without cause. its a small price to pay. there are hundereds of thousands of members on here and tons of good info, for free. generally questioning a mods decision puts you on their **** list. you dont want to be there.

You couldn't be more wrong. It's not personal...unless someone makes it personal.

We don't like banning people. People often make the decision very
easy for us though with their behavior here.

With only 3 posts, this was one of them. I'm guessing that y2k_ta thought
he was a spammer.

I was just about to post how LS1tech mods are as fair as I have seen, and there you are Unit. Ive been here for years and never been banned. Be an adult and we will all get along just fine, though mistakes with spammers can happen.

I agree completely I didnt think posting on here asking what he did wrong would result in my account being banned as well i mean wtf i mean no harm just curious of what he did wrong and with the quote of what he posted or his s/n I could see why they did it. I didnt even realize he posted some stupid **** like that on here, he sent me that link on a yahoo message while i was offline and i just deleted it thinking it was spam then he asks me did u go to that link i sent you? I think the mods on here are some of the easiest people to get along with and again they never fail to answer a question and I thank you. I'm curious though is he allowed to come back if I straighten things out with him about posting with a different s/n....Mods please answer this as i do not want my account being banned if this is against the rules?

To be honest, with as few posts as he made, we'll probably never notice if he comes back with a different screen name.

However, if he posts that referral link crap again, I guarantee he will be out of here. We do not take kindly to referral link spam around here.

No problem i didnt know he had posted that and ill be sure to give him a swift kick in the ovaries for the mods. I will make sure to let him know and have him register with a diff name, he is swapping a vortec in his bmw and is in desperate need of good info and parts and this is the BEST site for both. Thanks again for your help everyone ill make sure it doesnt happen again.
