KVB has been given ample time to tell the story about what happened and we've given him that opportunity
But instead continues to spread misinformation
So now it's finally time to give details, since he refuses to
There's already a handful or less of longtime posters here who already know the story, but here it is...
KVB was never banned
He was given a one-time infraction, which resulted in a 24hr 'timeout'
Bans only come 2 ways:
*A poster accumulates 7 infraction points in the same time frame, before any of them expire
*A manual automatic ban
Neither of these applied to KVB
So now why was he given an infraction?
KVB was given a few passes with name-calling of other members here without being addressed
He was finally given an infraction of just that - which resulted in the timeout
It all mainly began when we allowed him and 1-2 other members to convince that we should leave political threads in the Main Forum.
Against our better judgement, we decided to give this a try
KVB proceeded to use one or more of these threads on a daily basis to post his opinions in.
However, he did not seem to like it when others would chime in and share a different opinion.
(We have since corrected this and now move all political threads)
This may have been when the distain for others and name-calling began, and as already mentioned, he was given the benefit of the doubt and a pass
So, there are two things here KVB has continued to lie to the board about:
1. He was never banned. Only given a timeout and his account was back to normal the very next day
2. He claims he had no idea what happened, yet he received a PM with the notification and explanation about the Infraction, which is the norm, and copies moderators as well
I reiterate we have intentionally given KVB plenty of time to tell this story and refrained from it in an attempt to show him enough respect in keeping what happened privately to only he and BMR
But instead of appreciating the fact we’ve kept it private, it's become apparent he has too much pride and had no intention of answering the questions some of you have asked and only popping in occasionally to instigate further
If he wants to come back, we all turn the other cheek and call it water under the bridge, that is up to him
