Ban appeal Richard Dawkins Options

[Charles]

Hi!

My english is not very accurate so, excuse me if I speak english like a spanish cow.

My memories is not very accurate but i think it happenned the 17 april approximately at 15/16pm

I was banned on a basis of "spoil" just because I asked what people think about the last épisode of Game of thrones
I was "warned" by a: spoil = ban. I instantly said: [Removed]

I was wandering in my head, what the fuck with this childish attitude.
Have you never seen a movie twice or more? Have you never read a resume or the synopsis of movie, série. Or someone didnt tell you something about a movie like this: "this happen and this, and when that happen they kill them all, and he do that and that, so all things blow up" make you want to see more the all movie for yourself? Have you already read a book/comic, and seen it in movie?

What it change for you to know what happen? Do it change the story? Do you feel the story differently? -> Nothing, No and No.
I have read countless time Harry Potter: 3,4, 6 and 7; LOTR 3 and seen in movie too; I don't know how many time i have seen Fight Club, The Matrix, Pulp Fiction, etc... and I'm sure I gonna watch them again, and still enjoy them like the others time!
You are spoiled everyday about everything, you just don't realise it yet. You are spoiled at school, work with friends, TV news, etc... about everythings.

Com on guys, let's be logical.

What is gonna happen doesnt matter, what is important is how and why something happen in a story and its the more interresting part.

Have a good day.

I've read all the current books, so for me spoilers aren't an issue in this case, however I appreciate that they're pretty shit behavior in general. Likewise admins may be watching the show as it airs, so some douchebag posting something later on has to be treated as a spoiler whether it turns out to be true or not.

Part of the experience of watching a TV show like GoT is the anticipation and atmospehere of not knowing what going to happen next. That anyone could die or any event happen. Posting spoilers doesn't detract from how the event is portrayed but ruins build up and surprise, which is part of the overall experience of the show.

From a perspective of why post a spoiler into public chat in front of 50 people? There's nothing to gain from it other than your own personal amusment at trolling/annoying a bunch of strangers.

What's particularily telling though is that you were warned against posting spoilers, you then posted garbage, you then were banned. You then come here to appeal, not with an apology or showing any remorse or thought for the people in the server but with frankly crappy justifications.

If you'd came here and apologised, I suspect the ban would have been lifted fairly quickly. However your posts were essentially justifiying your own self-deluded position without taking on board comments from others, with no regret, remorse or learning curve.

I'm aware that marsche would lift the ban providing an apology was given, however on this occasion I'm going to set the ban to permanent on all servers.

Closing topic & adding bans to server/website.
