I'm glad we went out. Seems there was lots of stuff going on, and no doubt I would have plunged in and upset someone or some many. This by Setenta:

I've been banned from TV by Gregg because I informed him of his ban here by Gordon. Gregg thinks it's OK to ban a GMod from his MRB for doing what he is required to do, PM a member of the ban imposed by a mod of a MRB. You'd think someone into anal wouldn't get so butt hurt as to kill the messenger. Perhaps he thinks...
That is technically incorrect. There is
no requirement for a GMod to send a PM to a Member banned from a MRB by that MRB's Mod.
The actual banning process by a Mod of a MRB is quite cumbersome and impractical, and I wish FD would re-write it.
Since I became an MRB Mod., I have banned people and followed the technical process to the letter. That requires FD/GMod being PM'd a fair bit, and the Member being banned PM'd, as well as public notifications and combinations of all three.
That led to a far more practical process being informally adopted, but it did not comply with those technical Rules.
The
practice which developed was that the Mod would make a public announcement of the ban, on Forum. They would then send the Member a PM notifying them of the ban and the notification. A GMod would be cc'd into that PM. The GMod would then
(unnecessary...but they did) send the Member a warning that they better comply with the ban, as if they did not, they would get a Forum wide ban.
That's where we are, BUT..
.it is not strictly FD Rule compliant.
As I said, I wish he'd re-write the Rule for bans from MRBs.
