He won't want to talk. I'm not sure if you know why, or if you're being sarcastic. But he definitely won't want to talk to you. Believe me I know him good enough to know he will talk to me He got banned because he didn't think you should be welcomed back to the forum, among other reasons which I will not openly disclose. If you seriously believe he'll talk, then go ahead, but I don't believe he'll speak in kind regards. |

Look I know him out of the forum, I don't know what he said to you or anybody in PM about me, but I know what he did/didn't do... |

I was member number 99 back in August of 2015. Oh how our forum has grown. I distinctly remember having a 90% warning penalty  |

OOT: Guys, the topic is how the forum looked in the past. We are now not only veering off topic course but also discussing specific banned individuals which is against the forum policy due to privacy concerns.
OT:EFC hasn't changed in one respect: as Mountbatten pointed out (including in his own case when he was just a hair away from a ban and also in the case of several other members) most offenses are eventually forgotten and burried but in other cases we can never allow serious disruptions or hate type behavior to remain at EFC and poison our boards with fake manufactured crisis and drivel. This is why it is important when there is conflict between members to simply make a report or contact one of the staff. Members do not get to decide who stays and who goes only the staff has that prerogative.
Long ago (2 years ago or so) EFC didn't even have any forum specific rules at all but obviously as we grew, at first having a few dozens then a few hundreds then a few thousands members it quickly became clear it was necessary to have some sort of a forum code.
I think this is probably one of the biggest change our community has experienced: Going from almost total freedom of expression mixed in with quiet a bit of chaos among just a few members to a more restrictive but better structured forum with more of a PC type culture and among many more new members.
It's a delicate balance to achieve between restricting too much and allowing too much and the EFC staff is always striving and experimenting to find just the right amount of each measure for the formula to work successfully and allow the forum to grow its membership.

Well something I didn't know about the EFC community yet again I just searched for EW4 questions and I've found a few new posts and his introduction on reddit - I've never used reddit and the website is horrible - but he's active again. Sadly not here - I think he had complains about the lack of PC in the 'wild times' |
