(certain person) not here anymore

i apologize for the lame title. cc doesn't like members' names in topic titles for some inane reason. 

i apologize again for using 'reason' and 'cc' in the same sentence.

itude has apparently been banned. i guess he was given a six month mute, which is plain stupid. i have no idea why it was done, but since it was, it brings up two points. 

the first is that itude's ban has not led to much outrage. i think that speaks volumes. step back for a minute and think how you would react if members like bunny, drspud, bfs, or batgirl are banned. even if you might not read them frequently, you would read about them a lot if cc banned them. what we have seen with the itude ban is him coming back with at least two different accounts, beating around the bush about why he was banned, and insinuating that his wealth will create havoc for the site. 

arrogant, as usual.

secondly, i don't know why itude was banned. I don't care for the character one bit, but, it raises the question of how the site operates and at what level do these bans occur. that cc remains secretive about what they do on this is bullsh*t. transparency quells all questioners. 

as long as the actions are fair.

and i'm speaking as one that has been previously banned and muted many times (three times this year).

The main reason that his ban didn't outrage anyone is bc Itude himself was the person who would protest against chess.com the most, and his fans would follow him. Now that he's gone, his fans have no organized leader.

Has he ? really ?

You need to read around a bit methinks (

No one has gone anywhere !

bruh his IP got blocked

Here's one for you Martin ,hows about you go over all of my account, then let everyone know the total amount of mutings up to about 1 year ago,and compare that with the last year..that would be interesting wouldn't it ?

One other thing, Iappreciate you and all the mods have a difficult job ,and awkward old gits like me don't make it any easier.

So why not ask Messrs Erik, Sean and the Canon to actually show their heads and not hide behind you lot ??

If they have stopped him speaking then maybe he needs to watch what he says, show a little humility and stick to the rules

It never was a ban

This is a site where people spend their time on whatever they choose to do

Watch what I say as well ?

Ever come across something known as an Authoritarian personality ?

Maybe he will want to tell me how many mushy peas I can have every day next

Come on, Itude. When I've had to call a company's customer support line, I've never once had the CEO answer my call.
