A lot of people have been up in arms about recent events, so hopefully this can help to set the record straight.
First of all, Brent was not banned because of the singe picture that he posted in the single thread.
Over the course of several months, starting from pretty much the moment that the moderators were put in place, Brent was pushing the limits of what was acceptable. He posted many pictures of that nature, which were deleted because they were sexually inappropriate.
Furthermore, he spent all of his time in the faith, belief and opinions board doing nothing but copping an attitude and bashing people who believed differently than he did. He made several posts in several different prayer request threads to the effect of "There is no God" followed by insults and other inappropriate comments.
Brent has been discussed by all three of the moderators many times; his banning was not a decision made by one of us, but by all three of us together as a reaction to several instances of immaturity and disrespect.
Had he returned and been respectful, or at least mature about it, we would have certainly reconsidered the ban. However, given the way that he DID return, his antics along with the blackmail and the pictures, the ban will be upheld.
I'm not sure what the moderator/administrator thing is about, I had no hand in changing the status of the accounts. I do know that it's a temporary measure that has been subjected to the approval of Seth and Wisdom, beyond that I can't say anything about it for certain.
In any case, the drama about the Brent thing has gotten out of hand. From now on, please limit discussion and arguments about it to this thread. I or another moderator will do our best to keep you informed.
Brent, if you want to approach this issue maturely, send me an email and we'll discuss it. I'll do my best to talk to the other moderators and see what we can do to strike a compromise and straighten out some of the disagreements that we have.
