My reasoning for giving the one day suspension to Smartypants is because he pissed me off. Simple as that. This kid comes in posting babble regarding matters he has absolutely no idea about and then tells me, the owner of this site to "STFU"... it just doesn't sit well with me. I'm more than tired of the kids of this forum going around posting one liners and stupid non-sense around the forum and this is just the straw that broke the camels back.
I'll go so far as to say that the "cluepon" wasn't just for Smarty but was kind of a funny, less personal message to everyone who goes on about this subject with their "red glasses" on. All of our staff and those that are fully aware supporters can come up with numerous valid reasons behind our case and they will forever be ignored by certain invididuals. So when Smarty, who is one of the kids who is guilty of posting like a kid (normal, yes- but we cater to more mature, adult collector here) tells me to "STFU" regarding something he is just out of his league about, he was suspended for being disrespectful to me. This wasn't even so much of an issue regarding the "RebelScum" topic and thread as it was about the juvenille postings in general. So the dumb, offensive post to me combined with his utter unknowing of all the facts regarding this subject come up I suspended him. Power trip? No. It's just me making a statement that the ridiculous postings by the younger crowd need to stop.
