    Is what I am. You moderated me twice for talking about a Christian subject in a Christian Union to Christians! And then banned my Christian friend for agreeing with me. Then to top it all, you kept me suspended for 48 hours instead of 24.

    Dark_Knight6 was simply an atheist trying to attack us because of our beliefs - did you actually look at the content he was reporting, the board it was situated in, and most importantly the actual audience it was intended for?

    I'd appreciate a quick response. Thanks.

    Are you a bible-believing Christian? If so, check out these two unions:

    Salute to Crushmaster!

    Unjustly Banned for Christ!

    However, the most important thing is, that union is still on GameSpot, and it was still a blatantly offensive post. Posting it to an 'intended' audience does not stop that.

    As for keeping you suspended for longer than it was stated, we did nothing of the sort.

    Taken from the stickied FAQ: "Suspensions don't begin counting down until midnight Pacific Time and are lifted at Midnight Pacific Time. So if you were suspended for one day at 3:00 PM Pacific on Monday, you'd be barred from posting as soon as you were suspended. However, the clock on your suspension doesn't begin counting until the following midnight, so you wouldn't be released from suspension until 12:01 AM Pacific on Wednesday."

    Offensive to who? Would a rapist be offended if I said rape was a sin? Would a murderer be offended if I said murder was a sin?

    I know you count the suspension from midnight - and I took that into account. As such, I know that my suspension should have ended yesterday.

    Did you just try and equate homosexuals to rapists and murderers? I seriously think you need to re-think your view on that.

    Let me put it another way: would you be offended if somebody in a non-Christian union posted something extremely offensive to Christians? I already know the answer to this question, as I have seen plenty of reports from you that originate in a non-Christian union that stated your were offended. Now the shoe is on the other foot.

    And again, for the duration of the suspension, we did nothing of the sort. If we had given you a longer suspension, it would show up in your moderation history. The only thing to do if a suspension goes on longer than it should, taking the time into account, is contact customer support, which the stickied thread also states.

    We, as Christians, accept what the Bible says is true. The Bible tells us that homosexuality is a sin, just like theft, murder, etc, is. I wasn't trying to attack anyone. I was simply making it clear what the Bible says about it.

    Elraptor has said in the past, in defense of the content on the Atheism Union (pictures mocking Christ, calling him a zombie, etc, etc) that it is what you would "expect" to find on an atheistic union. Is talking about something which the Bible says is a sin, not something you would "expect" to find on a Christian union?

    You suspended me at 12AM pacific time on Thursday, I came off suspension at 12AM pacific time on Saturday. That is 48 hours, which = 2 days.

    OK, we are definitely done here. I've told you why you were moderated, but you won't accept that. I strongly recommend you do not post something as offensive in the future, Christian union or not.

    And I have also told you that we did not extend your suspension longer that it was stated -- we actually CANNOT do that without a moderation being created, which means you would have been told.
