Default RSC's banning getting out of hand

Just a short visit and I already found 3 members that
have been "instabanned!". A new classification?

Out of hand would also describe your incessant whining of late. Are you
trolling or just having an extended tantrum?

Cowboy up and get over it...

Neither, I just think their policy is wrong. Not only that, but
one person here (zx12rcr) was banned for following sirrocco's
advice and asking about the public forum in the RSC rules
section.

RSC also deleted the thread that sirocco referred to that
also discused the warning system (and how some players
with longer history's got preferential treatment).

A few of us here would truly like to know what the purpose
of RSC's public warning system is, as they are the only
racing forum to use it at all, and the only forum of any
kind to use it for a first warning, based on the list
of forums provided by sirocco's search.

I think the real issue is that the warning system is RSC's
way of punishing people, (inflicting harm), but are unwilling
to admit it because it's an undocumented policy and they
are afraid of being sued.

Make that 4 people so far. Apparently just a reference to
rec.autos.simulations is enough to get you banned from a thread
in the Grand Prix Legends section.

Their site is in denmark I think.

Make that count 5 member now. RSC is accusing all of them
being me.

ROFL, you make it sound like you've never received a warning via PM before.

So what? If a banned member makes another account and posts, why shouldn't
they be banned? Afterall, it's the same person....

Well, what if this person has a Multiple Personality Disorder, then
physically it would be the same person, but mentally it would be a
totally different person ?

Bet you never considered that ....
