I was penalized for voicing an opinion and I find that very confusing.

[Shax]

I voiced an opinion recently regarding the GG and Randy fight and it was a less than popular opinion regarding the way the fight turned out. I was slammed but multiple members for various reasons but it became an issue with me when one of your administrators restricted my access to the forums. I never broke any rules, I never used any kind of foul language and I never slung any kind of insults around. I simply voiced an opinion and got shit on by one of the admins and thrown "in the hole". If this is a common practice on a FORUM where people are expected to voice opinions whether openly accepted/acknowledge popular or otherwise than I will simply find another MMA forum/website to visit daily.


As a fairly long standing reader of this site and an occasional contributer I find it disheartening that this kind of conduct is permitted. I consider this a fairly professional website that I up until today held to a pretty high standard. Hopefully this was simply a bad judgement call by an individual and doesn't reflect on the websites policies. Abusive administrators are probably the single most damaging thing you can have as apart of your staff.

you badmouthed randy couture, what can I say? I wasn't there when you said it so Im not sure how serious it was but I advise you to let it go

if you are talking about not being able to get into vid section.they changed the rules on it for everyone.you have to have a rep of 50 to get in there

I think the fact that it was pretty certain that the head clash was accidental, along with the fact that it was Randy caused whatever reaction.
I dont agree with sending you to hole or anything because of it though.

lol, did you even read his post

I did let it go, the thread is about 4 pages long I made my original post and 1 follow up response. That's it. I was under the impression he got headbutt and images produced showed it was more of a self inflicted injury than a headbutt. That resulted in my forum access being reduced.

I really don't give a damn how hurt your feelings are because that statement is very ignorant. No one is saying that you can't argue that GG's nose broke due to a head butt (clearly it wasn't) but to say that it was intentional is very disrespectful and this forum has a lot of Randy fans. The highlighted portion of your post pissed of 95% of the posters not your arguement.

I guess the lesson you should take from this is that people will neg you for staying stuff like that.

And none of the admins did anything to you.

Your argument was poor and baseless. Claiming that the headbutt was intentional without any proof or even a plausible hypothesis was a poor choice.


You can argue for yourself as much as you want, none of the mods did anything to you and the slams you received were mostly deserved. It's not what you want to hear, but it's reality.


Maybe censor yourself a bit next time.
