He stopped speaking to me (to this day) because I reprimanded him for banning someone simply for pissing him off.

well he was fine at the start... (there's a LOT of drama that never made it to the forums about him)

:(

Let's just say I've learned several lessons from that whole experience.

But you wouldn't have known it either. You'd get timeouts and errors and you'd just think the forums were having technical issues. We used to have a fun stealth banning system in place in the old days. Installed by none other than myself. It was great!

to clarify: the system worked off the users IP, and it would then simulate database errors, timeouts, etc, so the user was banned, but he/she thought the forums were just having issues of some sort.

we used it to get rid of popular users who were trouble makers (who deserved a ban) this way their 'following' didn't rebel because technically they didn't know. Clever eh? Oh we were all about the clever and fun back then. ;)
