Nicholas King said:This doesn't really have anything to do with the thread "Do we actually need a banned users corner?" 🙂
Look:
- The KGB is basically the only spot where banned guys can get a word in; they can't send PMs, they can't post anywhere else—so, we need this space just so people don't feel like they've been silenced without any way to appeal;
- "...it's pretty easy to scrub you from both the banned corner and the main board, leaving you zero chance to call out similar situations..." sounds like a threat, sure—but that doesn't exactly "strengthen your argument," does it? 🙂;
- You asked a question, and you got a polite answer. No mocking, no sarcasm, no insults. Your little gripe about whether "anyone ever actually gets a card?" is the issue here—because yeah, they do, more than once. Just because you haven't been hit with one, and you think it should have happened, doesn't change the reality of it;
- I don't follow soccer, but from what I gather, you're acting like a typical Los Angeles local diving headfirst into Lakers territory and dropping comments that land you right in the doghouse. The real question is: what's the point in stubbornly repeating that kind of behavior, especially when you already know it's going to end with a red card?
Seems like you've done your homework on my situation, so maybe you can tell me why forum user jebateled hasn't been banned like I was? Or maybe he didn't deserve it, which would mean I didn't either.
As for the actual topic, personally, I think a dedicated spot is necessary, even if I've never actually had a reason to use it myself.
