Re: clemency.
Sorry guys and gals but this is my decision so don't blame the mods. I am not interested in having Ray return to OUR (notice I did say our meaning everyone's) boards. I am sure that Ray is getting his posting fix elsewhere on the internet. If you miss him badly enough I would suggest that you visit with him at the other places I am sure he hangs out at. If we find out about a new account that Ray is using here, I will immediately ban that one as well.<br /><br />Please let this be an example that if someone irritates the mods and the admin of these boards enough, we will be happy to ban them and not let them back, but only after we warn them at least twice (which we did with Ray). We have only done this to less than 5 people in the history of iboats so we are not on a banning rampage. Someone is going to be thinking, "What does irritating the mods and admin mean?" It means this: if you post in a way that requires mods or me to have to delete it or edit it more than once every so often, you will make yourself at risk for being warned at least twice and then if you continue problem posting, you will be banned without the option of coming back. If you want to know what is irritating please click on the register link above and read the board rules (you will have to log off to do this).<br /><br />I am sorry that this sounds harsh everyone but we have almost 40,000 members and a few bad eggs can turn this place south pretty quickly. I was thinking about closing this thread but I think I will leave it open for the time being to see if anyone has questions. Thanks for your support!
