This is from all of us (Mods) as a Team:

This line says it all.
Vijay took great care and efforts to make this forum and he cannot see some members, even if they were dazzlers, good or bad members come and one day, in a rioutous mood, start using such profanities and filthy words which crossed all level of decencies.
Plus the fact that these members never understood that this is but a virtual world, where you need to learn tolerance, the ability to accept others point of view. The Moderators are but humans, who are voluntarily spending time, trying to keep the forum clean and nice for all of us. Siddh and company had some kind of a smear campaign against the Mods for going to sleep at night!!! If their post was not aswered within 3.5 minutes of their post, it meant the Mods were ignoring him.
Today we unban him, tomorrow another member may come along and say something about something else, and our friend Siddh gets provoked by it, starts another campaign against the mods for not protecting him and then comes out their fav weapon... profanity.
Sorry, Just as you said, Vijay made this forum to keep it clean for everyone, it is meant for a 12 year old as much for a 31 year old. And the 31 year old needs to remember it that this forum caters to all.
Mal had a constant litany that the MODS hated her. She just simply refused to understand that a sentence in good english can be written without words like a$$ or $hit or equally other filthy words.
We hate it when good members get banned. We dont like it when regular members get banned. But then, we have to see members like Siddh, (when he was very much part of the forum, ADVERTISE FOR ANOTHER FORUM, SAYING IT IS BETTER THAN IF, and carry a siggy with a link to another forum, where he used four letter words for IF members).
Therefore, our decision as a team is that they will not be unbanned.
