What you should know about Bolt.cd’s SMods and Administrators
I am letting off a bit of steam:
I want to share with everyone here and with those who are still members of Bolt.cd community of my recent experience with Bolt.cd and their SMods and Administrator.
First let me start by telling you all that last year I was banned permanently because I was out of line and I had been disrespectful towards the SMods and I have expressed some personal feelings about many of the board’s rules publically in not a nice way. There were many other reasons why I had expressed things in the public forum because of certain attitudes coming from the SMods and Administrators. However I was disrespectful but I was also angered to the point I felt the only way to bring this out was to address this openly so others on the forum could see. Nonetheless I was wrong in the way I handled it. As disrespectful as I was, for that I am deeply sorry. Some of you Bolt members may remember me as XStars1100.
In the past last week while the board had opened registrations I registered again so that I would be able to get in contact with the Admistration to apologize for my past behavior and that I would like another chance to come back. I first contacted Veg and he wrote me back to tell me that the SMods "WILL NOT LET ME BACK", I wondered how the SMods have more power than an Administrator, but that was beside the point. Though this was a blow to me I reached out to Veg again, I expressed that it was shameful that the SMods would be that unforgiving and not accept my apologies even after a year. Again Veg replied to tell me it’s out of his hands the SMods made their decision.
So I made another effort and I PM'd all 5 of the SMods personally. I humbly expressed my sincere apologies and that I made a mistake in the way I handled things that I have regretted for a year
And have asked to be let back in and that I would not cause trouble again, and put any bad blood between us to rest and start new. I even left them all with my personal e-mail address so they could contact me. When I returned to the board to see if any left a reply this is what I was greeted with:
You have been banned for the following reason(s):
Not allowed the date that your ban will be lifted is: Never
Now As far as I am concerned at this point they all spat my sincere apologies right back in my face, nor did they even have the respect to even reply back to me to let me know if I was even forgiven for my passed behavior and to offer an explanation as to why they feel the Ban should still remain in place, not one kind word from any of them, not even Veg when he replied twice could tell me that he even appreciated or thanked me for the apology, all I got was the cold shoulder. I had a need to do and extend my hand to apologize to them as I was wrong in disrespecting them in the way that I did. However I am without words in expressing my sadness and disbelief that all of them would act so cold, unforgiving and spiteful and that not even one of them could reply to me.
If they accepted my apology and explained that even though I am forgiven that the Ban needs to stay in place as a result of my actions because this is the punishment even though I did not like it I could accept that as we all have to face the consequences of our actions, and sometimes those consequences are lifelong.
However this is not the case, as their actions towards me now clearly shows me and proves to me that the one problem I always had with them is that their actions and the way they treat some members is the very reason why they sometimes get disrespected publically. Their attitudes really stuck, and always have been hard headed, spiteful and unforgiving and they ban and give out harsh fractions at the drop of a hat, they delete posts they don’t like and they don’t like forum discussion on their conduct, and act like they are just so perfect in all their ways and when they make mistakes it’s ok for them and expect to be forgiven but in return they won't forgive others, and turn their cold shoulder.
I am sure many of you who are members of Bolt may disagree with me and that's ok as I am sure many of you have had very pleasant experiences with the SMods as I am sure they have their favorites. In the past year Bolt has been hacked, would that be unreasonable to say that was a result of the SMods Pissing off some one for the last time, as I stated their actions have been less then desirable on many occasions. Did it not occur that someone would eventually retaliate; the SMods have proven to me that they could childishly be spiteful and unreasonable. I wish Bolt well, but a word of the wise unless there is change in action, attitude and respect from the SMods what goes around will eventually come around.

Reason: Topic OK'yed by Admin
. But ya, I'm scared to contribute on any of these sites these days out of fear of getting the ban stick. I was afraid to even post this out of fear of getting banned.
