You are quite the piece of cake. you've no less provided "entertainment" to a few members with your otherwise ramblings, but now you find yourself mouthing off about something you know nothing about and got sucked in by this member with a very checkered past. You know, you really should have stayed home today. As the facts of this suspension have now been made public, I doubt whether any honorable member of FlyerTalk would call them
"arbitrary, discriminary and mala fide" but rather now have more of a respect for the volunteers who really do work quite hard behind the scenes to try and make FlyerTalk spammer-free.

And while in my other posts regarding your infractions on FlyerTalk as being warnings, I can no longer continue to be embarrassed as a nice guy. Yes, I've tried to reason with you, tried to be nice by first issuing warnings rather than actual suspensions. but as you are keenly aware, the TOS contains this condition:
"Discussing Specific Moderator Actions - On-board discussion of moderator decisions - including post deletions and member discipline - is not allowed and will be removed. Members will also be subject to disciplinary action.

As you have decided to address this specific moderator action with Heineken 2 (in which your comments are so carelessly tossed around) I am informing you that you posting privileges are being suspended for a period of seven days. The goal of FlyerTalk is to foster a community of travelers all sharing the experiences and knowledge of their frequent flyer miles, points and travels. It is certainly my hope and the hope of the 100,000 plus members of FlyerTalk that when you return seven days from now, you will again join in this community for the purposes that are so clear to all but a few of our members.

Suspensions on FlyerTalk can lead to a complete loss of your posting privileges so it is my hope that this short time away from FlyerTalk will give you a refreshing look at how valuable it can be a positive member of the community.

I hope you understand that we've tried to help you channel your energies into a positive experience for all our other members.

Thanks for understanding and a great day to you.

Randy
