Well, isn’t that great. Quoting an admin gets you banned. So, does that go for mods, too? regular members? guests? I just want to know whom I’m allowed to quote now. ---

Thanks for the explanation, **Marley**. It all seems pretty mild to me. Wouldn’t a suspension have been more appropriate? What was wrong with his sig? (and thanks for undeleting it, by the way) From what I understand, it was an actual quote from **Tuba** in a PM that she sent him. Are we not allowed to quote PMs in our sigs? ---
