The sponsors do not care about these kind of threads...they view the hits/threads/posts in the technical forums (where you achieve post counts as opposed to here and the lounge)...let's be honest, how do senseless/chatty lounge-type posts drive up business for auto related sponsors?

ok but that banner ad at the top of the webpage? I know they pay ls1tech.com based on hits.. Perhaps...that being said, I did not come up with the rules, so if you'd like to go to the admins and ask for changes I am in full support of that...

shooting the **** with the locals is part of the draw to the forum.
i understand you're just doing your job, and i hate to shoot the messenger.

That being said, he was warned (repeatedly and said the following in a post on ls1.com which I know you saw):
"I will straight up say, that I made that thread as a "test" to see, if indeed, the moderation/administration would be that hard off to ban someone over something that silly... it proved my assumptions right."
He knew he was breaking a rule I had warned him about before and I become the bad guy?

Rules are posted all over this site, if everyone deems that I need to have a thread stickied above talking about the Western Section on Ls1tech needing to have threads that are relevant to autos and western related topics than I can but I feel like it's a bit self explanatory...

From the thread that Soul TKR made....the #2 post is yours and that is the ban. I didn't see any warning in that particular thread. But I understand that you could've warned him in a previous thread.
Thanks for posting up your reasoning on the matter.

I honestly didn't see any rules posted but I now see you made them a sticky. Thank you for putting that up. But you just posted the rule about lounge type threads today, not prior to the thread in question. I really think it's going to be difficult to police the threads in the western forums and what defines "-Western related topics". That's a huge gray area IMO.

Soul TKR was warned previously...

in all fairness to Titan... I knew what I was doing when posting this thread...
Do I think it's a retarded, lame ***, nonsense, rule? ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT... it's dumb as ****...
Should we be upset at TITAN for doing his job...? Me being the guy that got banned... i even say no to that... he was just doing his job, and really wasn't a total dick about it like he could have been... I knew when making this thread it would cause a bit of an uprising... but then again, that was the whole point... I made it in hopes of starting a new revolution to overthrow the wicked ways of the evil tech govt...
