Thanks for understanding Lunoor. This forum has been around since 2001. Early in its first years Summer Dawne who was known back then as the "Tenant" came and posted alot. He posted some wondrous stuff and I found him a refreshing warrior with the point of view of a 'tenant'. I created a subforum for him that was extremely popular here and it was filled with hundreds of posts by Summer Dawne aka. The Tenant. Back then the ezboard forum called 'Sustained Reaction' was basically 'at war' with this one and there were many cross over members including the main man of SR. The argument was if there is such a thing as a nagual. Summer Dawn was a key player and I feel he was set upon by members of SR, henchman Ghost Dog and moderators thus his hatred of 'moderators'. This forum eventually won over SR and Sustained Reaction went into the decline and is basically a empty forum these days. Incidentally the same thing happened to Lujan Matus at SR a and he eventually created his forum Parallel Perception after being a member here for a short period. PP as many know has not experienced the continued success this forum has enjoyed for nine years with thousands of posts and members from around the world. The Tenant enraged at his treatment at SR reacted by editing all his posts with '---', hundreds of his posts. I limited his editing powers in his subforum and he demanded all his posts be removed which I honored. Eventually his explosive anger issues caused me to ban him for a short period. As you may know I very much dislike banning people and only do it when there appears to be no other way to deal with them. I have learned alot over the years on moderating forums such as this one. So you see this is a long time issue with a long time member and i think SD expects to be banned when he does such things. There is one fix though. I can make every post a member makes uneditable thus no one could edit their posts. If the majority of members agree to this we could unban Summer Dawne.
