Message by GX, Im posting on his behalf he can login but cant post or do anything ;)

gx said:
Mods & fellow members, this is GX. I don't want to make a new ID so iMav is writing this on behalf of me. I would like to ask about where did I “Talked about Piracy". As far as I know, I am quite careful about that.
If you consider the Mac OS X stuff, well then...that is irrelevant. I did not posted links to download Mac OS X, neither did I posted method on how to install it in this forum. The administration cannot be held responsible if that’s what concerns them with piracy laws.
After that in the last 2 weeks, I remember & urge every fellow member to come forward & check my posts, because to be very frank even I would like to know where I talked about Piracy?
Here is the message I get when I login.

17 September, that’s one of my old GFs birthday, so I can’t forget that day :D.
So Mods & administration, plz provide some clarification. And I hope this thread won’ be deleted.

Phew... Thought GX was banned for life.. realised it was for two months. GX if you are reading this, take some time out man, I wasnt seeing your create those wonderful graphics anymore. I want to see more of your creation in the future :D. and when you return to post I want to see you and tell "Just look at GX :D he is back :D"

gx and arya make life on the forum interesting :D

id like to see the link/thread for which gx was banned. cant imaging gx talking about piracy .... gx is very helpful on the forum...perhaps the mods can consider reducing the period from 2 m to say 1 wk as a token, if they REALLY think his conduct has been not in tune with the forum rules. :)

Correct me if i am wrong , he is the most controversial member in this forum, lol .

Everyone knows gx , currently he is in ring with Arya and nepeker efore this he has had arguments with others . I forgot the name but there was a ATI guy long back in the forum with whom gx had a long history of argument .

i ave not seen much mod action in past many months, this move reminds me of mods . But i have not seen him talking abt piracy here in a way to be banned.

I banned him for this post *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=553009
I see it as encouraging piracy. If you people see it otherwise, that's upto you.
Atleast senior members like gx shouldn't be talking of such things, even if it's somewhat jokingly.

GX here

To be very frank mehul, if you would have given a better reason then I would have appreciated. That post in all respects is a joke, which was made as a Joke. Utkarsh lives close to my home, I know him. Now if you can't understand the feeling & meaning of "Humor" & "Joke" then I do pity your sense of humor.

Banning for 2 months, for this post...well absurd.

Have a nice day.

I am not someone affected by Ego. eGO is not a problem from at least my side as I have no Ego. If Mehul is following the rules, then I should have been given a warning. That posts is not talking about piracy as far as I see, no links, no info...just a joke.

No offence there! But banning senior members like this is going to affect the forum in huge way. Because this will make every one conscious in posting. I wonder what the newbies will think if senior people get banned here for these things.
Humor has so many angles. Dont know which one will mods side by?
Agreed he should have PMed him the request. But i thought that sentence was more of a joke.
And then most people i have seen here talk and discuss torrents.
And you don't optimize or fine tune torrents to download winzip ...? Do you ?
The best thing would have been to give a warning.
Please unban him. :)

Sheesh!!! 2 months for that one-line? and that it too when it was meant as a joke. i mean if u follow this thread ->
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49326&page=14

i guess most of the members should be banned since there are countless references to getting dvdrips from torrent sites.

Please unban Saurav, else ban members from the above thread who made references to dvdrips in the above thread. (guess i have made some too, not sure tho :) )

What??? He is banned for that joke...
I can't believe it. I expected a better reason (if there was any).
I've seen people asking for pirated stuff over PMs...
That should be illegal too.

Now making a joke here is against rules too.
Man, these are the worst days for us in this forum.

I'm not saying that some one did wrong or right. May be there was some other reason behind the ban of gx? May be admins asked to ban gx? We can't say anything until we got a reply from admins... But one thing for sure gx shouldnt be banned form that comment! Lets wait for admins reply...
