And what am I supposed to pay that stalker guy Brian McDoogle? My left eye?
Just because some members ignore the rules it does not mean the rules are void.
Now for the second question:
1. I did not leave because I did not like the site. I did enjoy the community. Resetera sure has issues, but most message boards have some issues.
2. I do not share the view that it is a platform of hypcrisy. Sure, there are hypocritical people on there, some even on the mod team (some maybe not anymore), but it is first and foremost a video game board. One with a very active community in fields that are relevant to my interests. One with many great users. I will and do criticise Resetera where I feel it is due (e.g.
HUELEN10
's ban, that was one stupid move), but I do not think it is a trash platform.
3. Even if I thought that, I am never fine with unfairness. It is unfair to criticse the forum for a troll that has been banned for months, as if it were the standard position of the forum. That's as if people were calling NeoGAF a nazi board and justifying it by hagwood's appaling postings (that lead to a perm and clearly were not acceptable to the staff). Disingenious, plain and simple.
EDIT: To explain the fee thing to Huelen: Look at the postings from excelsiorlef surrounding my perm above (e.g.
