Thankyou to Phobiazero for banning me for a full week, for asking what was going on with all the banning on this forum.
I realise now what had happened: He had told the users of this forum not to mention a certain user's name - for reasons that were not clear to me at the time - but on subsequent research I discovered that some kind of problem had occurred with the aforementioned user and that Phobiazero was angry about the incident. I foolishly asked a question about the incident, and my question included the user's name, which enraged Phobiazero and resulted in my temporary ban.
I feel humbled by this episode, and I shall never ignorantly type that user's name again. Let my punishment be a lesson to all future users of this forum, who may also foolishly walk into the trap of asking a question that includes a banned name, resulting in their own temporary banning. We are all brothers here, and we can get through this. It just takes a little care, repair and love. I'd also like to add that I am very grateful for the cards and flowers many of you sent me during my banned time.

Well, if this post gets me a ban, it means it is proved right, and you've all got something to think about.

Well, it certainly gave me time to think about whether it's worth bothering to contribute to a community moderated in such an emotionally volatile way.
I certainly don't agree with zero moderation, because if people are using the forum to spread racism or other unacceptable stuff, they deserve a ban. But there was truth in my post above - I literally accidentally offended the head admin by asking what had happened (i wasn't around here to witness whatever had happened at the time) and by simply enquiring about it, i got a ban. That's a very trigger-happy reaction and more to the point, hypocritical, because the incident in question turns out to have been something to do with a former mod on a banning spree.

This subject will never end this way... like me a lot of users don't exactly know what happened. By deleting/banning users who try figure what really happend is just admitting the power/impact he had. Plus it's hypocrite to ban users who don't actually know what they are talking about.
Am I facing the ban now because I spoke about the troll who is getting a much more super status this way.. it's ridiculous!

i actually agree. too many times things are allowed to get out of hand, and without any warnings bombs explode and heads roll. we need more warnings and less rolling heads. it's just silly to see a mod get a perm ban.
there was probably a lot more going on than i'm aware of, and there were perfectly reasonable reasons for things happening the way they did, but still. it wouldn't hurt if things were done a bit less 'effective' (read: abrupt). at least, that way we can see a bit more of the how and why instead of the "huh? what? wtf is going on?"

Yes it is Phobiazero's site but he won't have much fun playing with it alone once he's banned every member because they asked an innocent question or mentioned an ex-member's name.

It's best not to ask about it I suppose. Questions only cause trouble.
First rule of xlt.. do not talk about xlt.. 2nd rule of xlt do not talk about xl...
Oh no I got that wrong. The 2nd rule is no smoking :D LOVEEEE Spaced!
