So look guys, I'm sorry you're all getting banned.
But seriously.
If you got banned and "didn't deserve it", you probably have gotten away without warning many, many other times.
I'm sure regular members get warned/banned everyday, but we just don't hear about it.
If the mods let us Antis get away with stuff, then everyone will try and break the same rules - and the mods do NOT want a massive cleanup.
And arguing with the mods for the sake of arguing with them is not only unproductive, but it gives them more information to profile you with.
Just...don't give them reason to hate you. They ban prominent members because they are noticeable, and can make more of an impact on the website.
Hachette is running the MRcommunity like a fucking business, so we start to choose our actions differently.
The point of being an Anti /isn't/ to argue with everyone and cause ruckus. We are in place to provide a different perspective of the series, and to keep the site running smoothly.

I really wish we could all harmonize - it really wouldn't be that hard to get along with them. I'm doing fine - even when I was more active I didn't ask for crap from the mods, so they didn't offer.
PS- Honestly, most of you weren't even here in the old days of the forum, or were there to be angry about the modcident.
Sorry that we oldies have set such bad examples, apparently.
In a sense, I agree with you, in another, not so much.
I can't say that the last MX banning with the chat room thing wasn't deserved, though. I'm tired of hearing 'bout that too.
I don't think it's that we set such a horrid example, overall, I just don't think everyone remembers everything. They only remember a few members and a few behaviours, so. . .the stereotypes are getting out of hand, partially causing all of this. . . .
