I think users are entitled to ask in a non-offensive way why a member they find as a good contributor is banned.

As far as I can remember Project/Chief never actually scammed anyone or was abusive towards others without provocation etc. He was obviously involved in alot of controversy but most of that resulted from him arguing back when everyone told him he was a donk. He is actually the type of member PFO probably need more of. Someone who is a winning player but will play hands in a non standard TAG ABC way and generate discussion.

Your response is probably going to be along the lines off - If you don't like it you are free to fuck off and find another forum, its not a democracy etc., which is fine and maybe I should but the posters are really what makes the forum and I think we are entitled to ask about these decisions.

I have nothing against the mods and I agree with the guy that posted mods are taking time and are doing a good job. Overall, yes, they do a good job.

I'm just curious of what happened and I got the answer. We don't have the power to ban / unban him and we don't have any history with him (most of us) but stricly poker speaking, I have to 100% agree with Wota :

"He is actually the type of member PFO probably need more of. Someone who is a winning player but will play hands in a non standard TAG ABC way and generate discussion".

For his past behavior, that, I cannot do anything since I don,t really know in what it resulted exactly, but his present behavior, which is where I get my perceptions, he's a good member.

I won't post anything more on him here. It,s up to you guys

I agree, however:

We clearly need new mods, this is just fucking stupid
This doesn't exactly go along with what you said. Especially as the person who said this knows exactly why he was banned in the first place.

Also, you guys (and I mean ALL you guys that were here anyway at the time) were begging for this guy to be permabanned before. I seem to remember someone saying "why the fuck hasn't this guy been IP banned yet?" at some point. I'm at work so not going to trawl through old posts, but they're there.

I'm not thankful for the 5 mins a month you give up.

He's given up more time overall for PFO than I have, so you probably should be thankful.

Meh, he didn't do anything wrong, he's just a bit of a cunt.

But he plays goot poker so why not have him back?

Who said I was thankful for you?

I'm not the only one who has commented on the fact he should no longer be mod anyway

civil war imo, I just want to know what made you guys change your opinions so fast, when he was on projectpokerpro he posted hands and explained them in the same way but the majority of you guys still flamed him, called him a luckbox, said he sucks etc..
