Which one?

Someone complained about your avatar and you got banned? Or you just had to change it?..Looks like you said just had to change it. What was wrong with it? Is it ok to ask?

Stated in Rules:
Admin may remove any offensive post, or ban any members at the sole discretion of the admin on duty at that time. Normally you will receive a warning if such occurs. In the event a thread is closed, or a person is banned, admin will review the situation, and either agree to uphold the ban, or reinstate the poster. If you are banned you will not have the ability to post in the forums. You may receive no warning before you are banned. It is your responsibility to have read the rules and to know them. If you break them it will be assumed that at the time you knew you were breaking them. With the exception of those that are just "out of control", we will follow the following rules in banned members:

If we find offensive posts by observation or reported postings, that person will have a vacation.

We don't make issues of it, for a ban is not to embarrass someone but to help them correct their ways.

Some one calling Michlow a Reprobated Heathen Backslider is a personal attack indeed.

Because certain posters used to CALL me that. And it wasn't like it actually HAD a picture of beer, it was just the word!

Well, a Michelob can on this forum does seem inappropriate, IMHO.
