I respect that but he hasn't done anything wrong, and he already regretted saying it if it offended you. What left is there to be done?

It was not an official 'go away' - I wish to make myself clear here. I do not pretend to have power over new members. I do not believe I can officially tell you that you are not welcome here - besides, that is not the case. New members are always a good thing - and I apologise for anything I said that may have upset, confused, offended or angered anyone. Can we call this argument over now - I said things I shouldn't have. Let's leave it to rest there.

Excuse me once again, sir, but I have asked for the moderator's opinion.

I have asked very clearly and explicity for specific answers to specific questions to clarify things going into the future. Thus far I have not gotten them.

I don't think that it is too difficult or asking too much for clarification from a mod. Does he have the authority to disinvite people from this forum? Is that considered acceptable practice at this site? Does he in fact have any authority at all? That is what I have specifially asked the mod. Why does there seem to be such reluctance to providing simple answers to simple questions so that members clearly understand where they stand and where other members stand.

He does not have and authority over you or any members. It is not an acceptable practice on this site. This is what I don't get though, why is this still an issue if all of these questions have already been answered by the members here, and he already apologized for offending you? Honestly I'm no mod, but I can tell you that this problem should have been resolved by now.

May I point out that it is not within any members authority to demand the attention of a moderator.

Let me clarify some of the points you bring up...

1. I do not have the power to disinvite people from the site - mods ban people if they think they are harming the forums. What I was saying is that maybe SimV isn't a place you'll enjoy being, considering the views you expressed. There is a distinct difference.
2. Whether it is considerable pracice to ask people to leave if you are not a moderator is a no-brainer - of course not. But that is not what I was doing
3. I have no absolute authority - however we all take advice from each other - advice as opposed to orders.

This applies to all non-admin members. We are a community and advice given in a community is normally accepted and taken in - however it has no authority - if it is your wish to go against the advice of others, you are, of course, free to - as long as the rules are abided by.

This post is not trying to take the place of a post by a moderator or admin - merely trying to help.

Thank you. What is a troll?

Everybody helps each other out. Thats usually how it works here. The mods resolve most issues that need resolving. This issue has already been resolved multiple times, yet you keep going. If your not going to accept that everybody helps each other and mods only come in when they need to, then maybe (as spit said) SimV isn't the right place for you. I'm sorry but I can't word it any other way.
