The fact remains that none of us has the power to reverse a partial ban or restriction, only the Lead Dog does. He may have seen fit to leave the restriction in place after reading the reason. You, along with many others were sidelined for posting comments in the pictures sections knowing full well not to. You weren't banned, just sidelined to make you aware of your errors. It was agreed that a week is too long, that 2 days would be enough. I placed 6 people on a restriction so far today for doing just that. The other Mods and Admin can do it too.
Think of the time it takes to wade through hundreds of endlessly redundant pictures just to weed out the comment made by a member that (A) knows better and (B) has been around a long time and has thanked people for keeping these threads clean of the BS. If a Mod misses just one day in a few of the forums, he has 3 or 4 pages to go through. That takes time. Have you folks thought that we just might like to enjoy the forum too?
That, Sir, is the best explanation that I can offer at this time. Maybe Foamy can word it a bit more sugar coated for you. I don't sugar coat, I lay it out there as it is.
