All this looks like to me, is jump all over Crowley because he made a mistake. I don't think that is right either!

I don't care whodunnit. I don't have a personal problem with anyone on RHP and I would have made that statement no matter who happened to be in question.

I suppose it's possible that I'm not perfect, but I have to say I haven't found anything wrong with myself so far.

Only when you find your faults will you be able to correct them. 😉

You are right - there was a misunderstanding.

My joke is still there at the 3rd time of posting.

I've had a poke back.
No real need for the rest to have a go at him.

It's finished as far as I'm concerned.

Me? I'd rather not sift through people making cheating claims because they see the green light on.

Cheating is a sensitive issue here and even though I thought the post was clever and kind of funny, we don't need members misleading oth ...[text shortened]... t, not any ban whatsoever.

I apologised for my harsh tone, so my conscience is clear.
Thanks for posting Crowley. I hope everyone can appreciate your side of
the story and your apology. I'm glad to see that the issue has been cleared
up for the parties involved.

(I don't think anyone expects the mudslinging to ever end...but that's
another story.)

Oh c'mon Red... lets try to get some perspective here. From what I understand Crowley removed a post which 'could' be misleading to new people to the forum. Then later he seen the same post back on the forum from the same member. He was perfectly within his remit to issue a warning. The fact that GP took offence is nothing to do with the issue at hand. The witch hunt that has ensued is more to do with the usual TSM pissery than anything else.
Have you seen the warning that was sent?

Aye, just that.

I was rushing to get through a bunch of alerted posts, saw a post that misleads a new member. Deleted it and a while later saw a repost and assumed GP was just trolling.

I didn't even know greenpawn existed until now, as I don't really frequent this forum.
You guys all seem to know and respect him - so I understand your reaction - although a few have gone a little too far.

Just remember that we volunteer our time and try our best to keep the forums clean and running smoothly.

It's hard for me to imagine that a forum moderator would not know greenpawn existed. Greenpawn has been one of the most active posters on this board for a long time now.

Quite apart from whether the initial joke could have mislead new players, threatening a ban was silly. GP has contributed as much to this forum as anyone and a simple looking at a sample of his previous posts shows clearly that he never makes malicious posts. In fact, he's often the first to diffuse things when they threaten to get out of control. Before assuming someone is trolling, you should look a little bit at his history.

Hopefully, we can just chalk this up to a misunderstanding and move on.

We try our utmost to be purely objective. I don't care who posts what, if they break the rules, they should get the same treatment.
Are you proposing parallel standards here?

I can't remember ever conversing with greenpawn, no. His avatar is slightly familiar, but that's it.

How much time do you think we have? I sure don't have the time to check posting history every time I have to take action and I don't know the poster. Preposterous.

Why not Red pawn?

I feel like I'm the only moderator that doesn't have a funny avatar. Any suggestions?
