Forum administrator: I protest.
I’ve met Crc IRL this W.E., and he told me that you’ve cancelled his account, and probably Donerail’s one.
Why did you do so?
I remember sometimes that some highly colored character have vomited their hate against France in those threads ( like that kfowler ), and you’ve let them write what they have wanted. Some French have not liked that and choosed to go away of your website ( ManuNice ), some american too weren’t liking it ( the sweet Myfarside and the great Crazyhorse ). At that time, Crc have defended you, remember, that was your reply to him:

CRC,
Thanks for your input. It’s good to know that some people actually enjoy the fact that we provide these forums.
We’ve come to doubt that lately…

So what? What happened since that honeymoon between you?
And what about Donerail and his more than 1.000 posts?!?
Forum Admin., you don’t seem to be have been fair with them.
I’m waiting for your reply, or maybe will it be easier to delete this message, and cancel my account too?

"Forum Admin., you don’t seem to be have been fair with them."
I meaned " you don’t seem to have been fair with them". You had corrected by yourself, of course 😉
Hello Montjoly,
We have not deleted crc’s account, we have just suspended it. The reason for this is that him, and others seemed bent lately on attacking others on the forums. We had let other spew venom, but they were eventually kicked out as well. Our mistake was to let them linger for too long, something we have decided to not let happen again, especially after a new rash of personal attacks.
We have said repeatedly that we will not accept that behavior, and after realizing that this group would not follow the rules despite our warning and the rules posted clearly on the website, we have decided to suspend their access to the forums.
These are the rules. If you wish to participate in the forums in a civilized way, you, and everybody else is welcome. Those who cannot prevent themselves from attacking others have no place here. We wish them luck on other forums.
Also, because we are just following the rules, we believe that there is no need for further discussion about this. In an attempt to save everybody’s time and energy, all posts about the suspension of participants who have misbehaved will be deleted without further warning.
Thanks for your time and for participating repsonsively. Thank you for taking the time to write and for your interest in out forums. We beleive enforcing the rules more stringently will lead to a better experience for all those involved.
Sincerely,
France.com Forums admin
