No, I'm not suggesting that they do. I'm telling you that they can, if they want to, because it's their forum.

The same is true for most things online. You do not have "a right" to edit Wikipedia. You do not have "a right" to Tweet, or "a right" to a Facebook page, you don't have "a right" to watch YouTube, etc.

You can reasonably expect to do these things, and if you couldn't reasonably expect to do them the sites would not be popular, but the owners of the sites are under no obligation to provide you with any service.

Mods have one job and that's to keep wrongplanet clean, and to use the "banning" tool only when necessary. If a user is banned, simply because he disagrees with that particular mods beliefs (i.e, religious, political, etc) then that's sad. I've gone over the privacy statement, I've gone through the Tos agreement and nowhere in them do I see where it states that mods can ban anybody without providing any sort of reasoning. Could you provide me with the text that somehow suggests what you're saying to be more clear ?

"Moderators of WrongPlanet are entrusted with helping to keep the forums civil"
The definition of civil can be fairly wide, wide enough to be arbitary.
However given a few people complaining about bans here without any specific reason or pattern, I can assume it is a glitch.

At the busiest times of the day the server locks people out temporarily anyway. I don't expect this phenomenon to be any more than accidental.

It may be accidental, who knows. Although I was subsequently 'banned' at around 1 or 2 AM. I'm not quite sure how the system could ban people without assistance, perhaps if it kept happening the technical support could look into the matter.. maybe re-evaluate things and come up with a solution to why these things happen.

Sententia was banned for failing to provide an email address.

Quanta was banned for being an unauthorised second account:
WrongPlanet Rules

QSententia violated both the above requirements.
