in my opinion that isn't a valid reason, and i don't find that anywhere in the rules, so if you may, link it to us.
another thing is what sense would it make to write "a collaboration between: god team, mad, team sambo"? the whole team wushu/fl0w thing is to make the video have some sense of humor, so people can appreciate it, and the e-sports reference and the penis reference help on that matter too. the goal wasn't to criticize or make fun of it.

to me, it is. it doesn't make sense to say "rawr 420 blaze it", because it's all about the clan's history and how it affects the whole community, therefore it's about how the community sees the clan.
not to mention that you guys had some kind of porn stash in your private board or something, which could be implied in the penis reference.

more stuff. everyone obviously knows that team wushu and fl0w didn't participate on the making of this mod, not only because it's a notable fun-intended post, but also because how you fl0wer powers react to it, but deprav liked it! http://forum.toribash.com/showpost.p...2&postcount=19
according to your logic, hampa would have banned everyone who has "made fun" of his picture?

he didn't approve for sure. he doesn't have to. seriously, get sense of humor, have a laugh or something

I personally don't think the mods and admins are bad people, I just think most of them are unfriendly, more so than most of the players of this game. I kind of always see a pissed off or on edge admin/mod.
I guess my 2 cents is for the mods and admins of the forums to get some more sleep and not get on until they're a little more peppy? Cranky people do cranky things. I've also seen some posts around where a moderator is on and drunk. That's aaaalll cool if you're just hanging with your bros and clanbros, but considering being someone in power requires making some rational decisions, why not be awake and at your clearest?
but hey, I dunno. they do what they gotta do, I guess. I'm, personally, pretty okay with most of the people with power these days, just... not a lot of the players.

pal:
I don't believe there is a rule about "...[not] associat[ing] clans or organisations which have not given their permission to do so", I just see it as a common sense thing if one of the goals of a thread is to simply make fun of a group of users. I don't see the problem with a mod being created, along with a thread if there is no 'over the top' ill-intention. There are ways to market a product without attempting to shame or put down other people, and I'm more than aware of my connection to the two 'affected' groups, but I don't see this as something which affects my judgement at this time.
The one day ban was placed because after I gave TheGod a warning, TheGod refused to heed it and simply reversed my changes.

Smilies2 then re-open the thread, having seen that I had changed these things, and I am fine with this. TheGod then edited back into the thread what had been removed (having changed the lettering slightly for some content), and so I chose to place a ban on TheGod's account. I then left a note for TheGod/Smilies2 to let them know the thread could be re-opened.
Does such a rule actually exist? I've read all the rules threads many many times, and I've never heard anything like that before. Even if you count 'hidden' rules I've never heard it.
Why would that even warrant a ban? Shouldn't it be an infraction at worst?
Either way, please link to where you got that rule from!
<Faint> the rules have been stated quite clearly 3 times now from high staff

(refer to previous post)
When ever I place a warning, infraction and or ban I look at user's warning/infraction history.
