He's British, he spelt it the British way, I hardly see a problem here

As for spam harming people by losing their posting privileges, I'll say it again, they were warned and they knew they would get banned. There's nothing wrong with banning someone when they know they're going to get banned. There's no real way to argue with that at all. Maybe you're just joking around, and if that's the case then I'd rather you stop posting in this thread so people can carry on their more serious conversations.
This forum is working just the way it's meant to be. Changing the way this forum is run would be like Maddox deciding to not be offensive because it harms some people. It would be like Fool's Gold ceasing to exist because some people out there think the whole place is a cesspool. Not saying I do, but I know people do. You know fully well that we are capable of dealing with things in the way that suits us in the way we find most suitable. Not banning people for constant spamming would not be suitable for us. That's final.
eest is right that we are pleasing the greater number of people that we want to keep here. Having said that, a great number of people wanted Bush to get elected but you don't see that forcing the rest of the country to just roll over and say "okay sir". Sometimes the majority of people aren't the kind of people you want. For this reason, you should always just make the place you run into the place you want it to be, not the place the majority of the world wants it to be.
obviously my continuing to post in this thread isn't going to change anyone's opinion, so I'll just say fair enough and give up
I just have a hard time believing that more people complained about PIP's spamming than approved of it (same goes for HOORJ). Most people generally seemed to like him
