Q1 what do you see is going on?
I see that there is a lack of communication between several parties where this could of been handled alot more professionally and not behind the backs of certain members to which from what I can see, have done nothing against the forum rules.
Even if the spam WAS considered worthy of an infraction, there was no warning, no prodding, no PM as far as I can see. Just someone was straight up infracted and insta-banned without warning, and that's wrong.
Sex Power and Beer may of been douchebags, but I would like to see them back. They bring their own special posting styles to the forum and I've always been proud of the fact that I've been an 18 month member of a forum that accepts all walks of life. Trolls, Quality Posters, Part Time posters, people who lie about their age, race, sex & lives but they come back and admit they are wrong and continue to be active and for the most part unless it's used for joking purposes, people are forgiven.
That's just it. IWF has always been the most forgiving place anyone has ever experienced. It doesn't matter WHAT you've done, only one person that I know of is still banned who is not welcome back to these boards.
So being banned for spamming? Fuck that. We have members on here who have done ten times worse things in their lives and they are perfectly accepted. I say unban the douchebags whether they be douchebags or not.
