Administrative Actions

 
I'm sorry to report, but on occassion, administrative action needs to be taken against users who appear to be attempting to destroy the ability of the site to operate. The Scoop software that powers this site makes available a variety of tools to combat problems with crapflooding, troll invasions, etc. This page will be maintained to provide a record of administrative actions taken to prevent these abuses.

If you are a user listed here and feel the administrative action was inappropriate, please feel free to contact me via e-mail (please be sure to note my disclaimer about e-mails sent to me though - it can be found on the Standard Operating Procedures page of the site). I will be glad to discuss your situation and whether the opportunity exists for the action to be rescinded.

Again, I'm sorry to have to resort to taking actions to protect the site.

Jeff Causey
Site Owner
