 |  Shamou Banned?
I apologize if I am intruding into personal affairs of anyone within the forums. I was just wondering what he did to get kicked out? I was just shocked to find out he was banned, as he made the most posts and always made everyone feel welcome here. |

<i>and always made everyone feel welcome here.</i> I"ve seen many posts where he made people feel welcome, but I've seen other posts where he nastily attacked people (including new posters) out of the blue. But I don't know what exactly caused him to be banned if he is banned. |

I second this! I found it surprising that Shamou has been banned while some other somewhat offensive posts remain. | |

There were a couple of times when I had to go back and say "was that really Shamou" because I was sincerely offended by something he said to someone else (his posts directed to me were in fact always very kind and helpful). Of course, there are a few people who I've cringed at when reading how they expressed themselves to someone else, so I don't see why he should be singled out if in fact that is what has occured. Does anyone know if it was a specific post? |

I imagine that if mods created a poll to see how many people wanted to keep someone like Shamou on, most would offer him their support. Still, if he's anything close to how he described himself, his time may be better spent elsewhere anyhow, starting a new business or cruising with his wife in a corvette  | |

It's just temporary for now. There have been some complaints about Shamou's forum behavior, so the mods and I are looking into it. Shamou already knows about it. Hopefully we'll have it sorted out soon.

He did tell us. He said there have been some complaints about his behavior. I have no doubt that Steve/Erin and the mods will make a well considered and just decision. If someone were to have a complaint about me or if I were to have a complaint about someone I would hope they would do the same.

You may think we have some super secret society where we all conspire against the non-mod/admin members, but I assure you, it's all pretty tame stuff that has to do with deleting spam and doing something about sticky situations that don't have an obvious solution (this situation with Shamou being one of them, hence why we're reviewing it carefully). Plus you make it sound like Shamou is dead ("Shamou was well loved and respected"?). Hehe.  | ||

Shamou's account has been re-enabled. It was my decision to put his account in limbo while we reviewed it. In retrospect I think that was a mistake on my part, and I apologized to Shamou for that. | |
