Deja Vu. Odd how the admins have STILL not fixed it, no?

I think right now they're doing important stuff and will pay attention to users later.

I presume you or the guy seeing the banned message has been banned for something more serious than a grammatical error (liking biting a chunk out of another forumist), so that should be the least of any ones woes.

Nice that you brought it up again, as Thaminda had said in the thread linked to by ryon420 that it had been fixed.

They'll get around to it, just don't think it'll be high on the list to be actioned.

Clearly what I got temp banned for wasn't worth a temp ban. I must thank rich for looking into the matter.

It's a sign ... banned people come back to give out about grammar when banned, it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling ... oh, that's not it
