If you email info@isketch.net and show them that image then I'm sure that they will realise that they made an error in banning you.

They won't.

[markp]

huh, why not?

Because...

the crab is happy

[Sorsie]

Wow. Special Troll shows a terribly drawn penis.

I'm surprised the banned you with the crabs and what nots...

[SoulAngel]

Seems to me that you knew very well what you were doing. Also seems to me you could be grandstanding for attention, with the posting of your screenshot. Seems to me, possibly it was planned, as you wouldn't have been ABLE to get the screenshot AFTER you were banned. Were you BANNED or BLOCKED? Either way, with a picture like that, I'm not surprised!

[db1986]

Um.. are you sure you were banned? If you were then surely you would see a message along the lines of..

You were banned by the Administrator (Admin's message)

and then you would get a pop-up message saying that you were banned when you try to log in again. I could be wrong of course, I haven't been banned so I don't know.

But yeah, either way, inappropriate and/or sexual images aren't allowed. If you have been banned, then Fox's link to Feedback is your only way of getting back online.

In addition, in my humble opinion, the picture is as unnecessary and unwelcome on here as it is on iSketch.

Agreed. .

image taken down. warning posted.

The image should really have been removed anyway, because it breaks the rule that:

Long unbroken text (repeated letters etc.) causing wide posts are also not allowed. Offending posts will be edited, or deleted if this happens excessively.

but I guess removing it for that reason would have been hypocritical given that basically no large images are ever linked to in that way... The fact that this thread still remains in general discussion, the section with the description "The place to talk about non iSketch related stuff." just increases my dismay.

I think it's clear that attention is what the thread is about, and I find it kind of sad that so many people gave it. Personally, I think those that respond to blatant trolls are often just as guilty of attention seeking (except Fox.)

im very sorry
can i be unbanned

[Clau]

Your only hope is to beg and plead at info@isketch.net I would offer them to do their dishes for at least 4 years.
You broke every rule in the book, with your behaviour. I give you very little chance.
You might want to browse for a new game. Good luck!

Can an admin please just lock this thread. The second post was sufficient.
