and i say, "no one, it wasn't funny just drop it"
so he just can't resist sending me this:

Hello haters. According to most of you I'm a dumbass and an idiot so I don't know why you are reading this. Maybe you like being pissed off by people who are inferior to you. If so, why are you glad I was banned? Anyways, back to bloggin...

I made a huge mistake and deserved to be banned. I made a joke thread in the feedback forum. While I felt the joke wasn't dumb, and had some merit, obviously it is completely inappropriate to abuse the feedback forum that way. It's sacred and any misuse of it deserve some consequences.
Anyways I just wanted to comment on a few things about what it was like being banned. I am new to this site so I had no idea what happened, at first. I wasn't shown the reason--I had no idea about the "ban reason" thread--I was only shown disneyland. I kind of guessed I was being banned for PMing fakesteve, which again was a surprise to me, because I didn't think bans had to do with which questions you ask to mods in a PM, but more to do with posts you make.
So in the future I will be careful not to PM questions to any mods. It would be helpful if the 10 commandments or other required reading pointed this out.
Also for new members like me it would be appreciated if you would make us aware of the ban reason thread, before we are banned. While it was easy to discern that I was banned, I did not see the reason or know it was a temp ban for a long time. Since temp bans intend for the user to come back, I feel like this gap (temp banned users might not know it's a temp ban or how long it is or what the reason was) might be causing the site to unintentionally lose some of its newer members. If you're okay with that (I imagine lots of you, not the mods but the others who empathize with the mods, saying "well anyone who gets a temp ban deserves to never come back"), then that doesn't make any sense, because the mods temp ban for a reason. Otherwise it would just be perm bans.
I'm not complaining though, just feel like I could have been better informed. Obviously I deserved a ban for joking in the feedback forum. Just didn't expect to be banned for PMing a question about it, and also didn't know that when I was banned it wouldn't be obvious where the reason was (if there was one--I assumed there wasn't) or that it was a temp ban (I didn't think it was a temp ban until pretty recently). These are not really personal to me but more website feedback. However since PMing mods is discouraged via ban, I'm a bit scared to give any feedback, esp. since I'm an "idiot" and a "dumbass." I hope I'm allowed to stay in my blog and share my experiences, though.
