I got banned for 3 days because of a "sig that was too big".
I have gotten banned in the past for a large sig. But that was a full year ago. Back then I didn't quite know how to check sig dimensions so I got ones that were too large.
Anyway, someone explained to me how to check and I fixed my sig.
That was a full YEAR ago. Back then it took literally two or three days before a Mod noticed the large sig size and banned me for it.
This time I stayed a FULL YEAR with the same sig size (because it was allowable dimensions).
Then out of the blue I get banned for apparently having a oversized sig, and my sig privileges get taken away.
And when I try to contact/PM the mod(s) who banned me, I can't because for some unknown reason, RealGM forum is unlike ever other forum in the world and you cannot even contact the moderators.
In addition, when I got banned 3 days ago, I logged in and got the message that I was banned temporarily because my sig was of a "sexual nature"
It was a sig was based on the last third of this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYncM3cy0-k
Then I log on today and the PM's in my inbox stating the reason the ban is not because of the "sexual nature" of my sig, but because my sig was "too large".--- The same sig which ive had for a year, and mods have seen countless times in the Offtopic forum, Raptors forum, media forum, and general nba forum - of which I frequently post.
This is utter mod abuse. I want to know whether mods have the ability to manually change peoples avatars and sigs. Because if they do, I STRONGLY suspect that the mod BlameRasho is the one who got me banned by switching my sig to a larger one (which instantly changes all the sigs in your previous posts to the new one. That would definitely get me banned.) Why? Because he and I got into an argument in a thread in the boxing forum where I called him out in this thread.
viewtopic.php?f=270&t=902291&start=90
After a few days he responds to the post (meaning thats when he first saw it, because the boxing fourm's traffic is pretty slow.)
And 6 hours later i'm banned for an inappropriate sig.
I guarantee 100% he purposely went into my user control panel with his mod access and changed my sig dimensions as a sneaky way to get me banned. I've had the same sig for a year with no problems ... and then 6 hours after mod who I dislike reads a post where I call him out for un-modly behavior , i get banned.
Really really really annoying. Aren't there IP logs or ways to check moderator activity when they access other peoples User Control Panels?
edit.
heres a link to the gif I used as a sig. It was EXACTLY like this one below in dimensions, except it was a choppier and smaller in kb due to fewer frames. Listed in the sig guidlines, the rule is that it must be smaller than 400x90. This one is 152x80.
