I'm reading the SSNL forum, and I have never felt like he did. There are a lot of situations where I completely disagree with him, but that is because I think he's levelling himself, and getting too tricky when it's not needed. The man is playing 4 tables max. How do you not get stupid ideas playing such a low number of hands /h.
As an FTP reg he is someone I definitely do not want on my left - which is not something I could be saying about everyone in favor of the ban.
If there really was a problem there should have been a strike.
I am still voting for an unban... replace it with a strike if you feel like that's necessary.

Right now this is looking a lot like rilla went vigilante on iopq's ass and got the rest of the mods to agree with the ban post mortum in an overnite face saving plot.

If you feel like the quality of the content has suffered lately, how about you provide your own content, rather than banning people that you feel provide content of lesser quality than you would have been able to provide, if you could have been bothered.

Oskar, incase you haven't noticed, there are but 4 or 5 regular posters in the SHNL forum now, both mods (renton and Nutsinho) do not post in there anymore. There is max 3 or 4 posts a day and usually by the same person with multiple hands.

Most of the regulars around here are having conversations in other avenues to avoid posting in this forum. The mod forum has been abuzz and we have talked to plenty of others about this problem in several threads over several months. We have a history of conversation that will not be posted here. IOPQ was the problem and Rilla decided that the forum was pretty much losing it's luster because of him, as told by plenty of us to him and Xianti. FTR was tired of the direction it was going in and wants it's best players/posters to come back to the forum to increase the quality content. this is Xianti's forum, we mod it and the conversation to make the change was pretty much unanimous to rid the forum of him, some didn't want it done this way but still wanted him out. Have you seen one mod or mid/high stakes player here complaining or asking for a reversal. If IOPQ was so good at bringing it to the forum why are only a half handful of people protesting, and one of them is Sir Pownalot.

You are the exception, does that not worry you about what you believe is right? Is maybe your judgment of IOPQ wrong?
