Good thing I don't post in the Politics section or I'd be banned as well I'd presume. Because even here--in the off-topic section, supposedly the most lenient of sections--I can't even post constructive criticism on someone's appearance without being warned and keep in mind that I've posted plenty of pictures of myself, leaving myself open for criticism and received plenty of it meaning that I'm no faceless troll.
But he does make a good point. You either moderate or you post.

Holy crap, he's still this butthurt this many years later? He was originally banned before I was even a global mod. How pathetic.
No evidence that the OP's a sock yet, but I'm keeping an eye out.

The OTF is not the most lenient, it's the section for stuff that doesn't go elsewhere. It doesn't mean you can say whatever you want (because believe it or not, free speech does not exist here. Or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. You follow the rules set by the site owner or you get out.).
Also your idea of "constructive criticism" is a bit off.

You sound pretty offended by the video and to me it feels as if you're trying to project that anger on him.

Either way the man does have a point. People are afraid to debate against moderators like they normally would because it's the moderators that "interpret" the rules. Notice the quotation marks. I mean a personal attack is a rather vague and broad terminology.
That's ignoring the fact posters get away with worse insults because they go unnoticed. If anything that tells new members to the section--like myself--how strict the rules are.
After all, an active poster is financially beneficial to the site. Both directly and in many ways indirectly and they shouldn't be treated like garbage by the moderators just because there are plenty of posters around.

What's there to be angry and offended about? I was cracking up the entire time - from him complaining that avatars can't be above 64x64 (untrue, and has been since 2004) to saying that obviously if someone gets past the registration process they're not a spammer (oh so very false) to admitting who he was. And the fact that it's been years since he was banned. Like, 6 years.
It's kinda like how people like Whirly and Wandering Flame and the like keep socking over and over and over even though they were banned years ago. It's just sad at this point. Get over it, and move on already.
As far as things going unnoticed - that's what the report system is for. Report things. If it's an actual rule infraction, it'll be taken care of.
