CHASE

[BattlesandDeaths]

Despite what Chase did to him Predator tried to help Chase by getting him to agree to have his moderator privileges revoked so why the ban? It was also Predator who got Chase to restore Malcolm’s profile so Chase had already done that. A lot of us got to see the whole thing develop.

Believe me, it was not an easy decision.  I wished to only remove his moderator privileges.  I didn't mind having to restore the members from their bans.  (Chase could only, as moderator, restore the account.  Unfortunately, when banned, their IP address is also banned and that could only be restored by an administrator.)

I still view Chase as a friend and reached out to see how I could help him with his issues.  Unfortunately, He sent me a second message requesting to be banned. 

Chase sent me a message stating (in part)

Is there a way to leave a primary group? I want to leave this forum/group. It seems as if I cannot?

Can you ban me if there's no other way? I don't want to be lured by this fetish any longer and I don't want to frequent his forum and other sites like it. I found no way to get out?

He had requested this before, but I talked him out of it due to him being a big contributor to the forum.  

It was not my wish to ban him, but I felt it was best for both the forum and for him personally to deal with his demons.  I am working on restoring his posts so his contributions can still be accessed.  

If any of you have his personal email, I would encourage you to reach out to him.
