I'm afraid I can't second that. Maybe for a while it should be like that, but not permanently. You can't expect people to learn a lesson and mature as a person if you aren't willing to give them another chance at some point. I've done things I'm not proud of in the past. I'm a better person for being able to try the high road again. I've been told I'm too much of an optimist. Of course, I've also been called cynical for understanding that everyone falls sometime or another.

First off I want to thank you for taking responsibility for your actions.. and Yes I think for maybe say 6 months you can not enter into the hhotm but after that time maybe a vote can be taken or the site admin can decide if you may then enter into the contest... I would think that if within that 6 months nothing else happens .. like probation...Just my feelings on it...

Swerv0428.....apology accepted and sorry about the decision.
Now, let's move on, or THIS thread will continue forever (or until it is locked).

Cool that you apologized, but pretty bizarre that you went to those lengths to begin with. You probably would've won eventually anyway, had you continued to enter your HHR. And I thought the "I'm entering my car, but now withdrawing it from competition because I'm making a statement" crowd was bad.
It will be hard for some to take you seriously after this, but time has a way of healing and forgetting. Man, this thing is so Twilight Zone, and not in a good way.

That's a fine thought BUT, this is NOT a democratic forum. It is autocratic, and because it is privately owned, that's the way it should be. The "powers" make the decisions.

And now we are done with this thread. A lot of good comments here, but it's time to move on.
Swerv knows there will be no third chances. Any future violations of forum rules will be the end, period.
