How is it "bogus reasons"? From what people have said, he remade a thread closed by mods, which is clearly against the rules. Furthermore, it seems that he did it more then once, which just makes things worse.

Maybe he thought that the content of his thread shouldn't have been deleted, perhaps that would explain why he continued to keep remaking it?

"Furthermore" I don't really think we know enough of the specifics, so we really can't judge weather or not what he did was right or wrong.

The rule says that "no member is permitted to recreate [closed or deleted] threads". It doesn't add "unless you think it's okay".

I am no way implying or saying that he did not clearly break the rules by doing what he did. What I am doing however is I am trying to analyze why he did what he did, and weather he was right to have done so or not.

If you want to look at this in black and white, thats your choice.

If you acknowledge that he broke the rules then how can you say that the ban was unfair? He was treated at least as harshly as anybody else would've been.

Perhaps the topic which he kept recreating shouldn't have be deleted in the first place? If that is so, then I think it would have been right of him to keep recreating it, even though its against the rules. Can you not remember many times in which someone who will not be named closed many threads that were discussing topics that were perfectly valid? What I'm saying is yes, according to the rules, you cannot remake threads that have been closed without mod permission. However, if that thread shouldn't have been closed in the first place, I can't blame the guy for getting angry at corrupt administration, and remaking his deleted thread. You cannot always apply black and white rules in situations that are in shades of gray.

Wrong.

If you feel that your thread was deleted when it should not have been deleted, then you dont take "the law into your own hands" by recreating the thread. You speak with one of the forum admins about it, rather then acting on your own. What did VT do? He acted on his own, and thus, was punished for his actions (breaking the rules).

How is that relevant to the fairness of his ban?
