Several members out of several hundred active members are not a lot of members. If you want to be the moderator, please throw your name in the hat, and you can make the decisions.

I'm not going to air out dirty laundry on this thread, but can say this is not the first incident where there is some doubt on his activities. Too many coincidence situations. And regardless of anyones knowledge or the workings with IPs, the chances of hitting the same IPs are extremely odd. To that add that the only ones using that specific IP are three other's with unethical business behavior, who have been banned in the past. No one is saying that these are the same person, just somehow connected. Banning someone in a situation like this is not an easy thing to do, but the XF community is more important than one individual. I have had enough PMs from this and past dealings from members. I can't ignore those either.

This forum is not a democracy either. Sometimes decisions have to be made, and they are not always easy. If you or anyone else has concerns about the banning, and feel they are not fair, please send a message to Julian (mightyjlr), and escalate your concerns. He's the only one that can reverse my decision.

BTW, this does'nt stop anyone from buying from TVT.
