I'm not sure why you believe popping into this thread with an issue from a different thread to begin haranguing Jar about it is appropriate, but it isn't. I have no opinion as to whether Jar is blameless or is the second coming of Goering concerning whatever it is you're talking about, but if you want to stay here then your behavior is extremely hard to understand for someone who just spent two weeks with suspended posting privileges.
If comments in the admin forum are any guide, the tolerance level for you is very low. Unless you begin exhibiting pristine behavior you'll soon be suspended again. If you believe Jar has committed violations that have been missed by moderators then there's a forum to bring this up, but pursuing your own vigilante justice will just earn you another absence.
California has a three strikes rule for criminals. We have nothing like that here, but on the other hand moderators do not approach each violation with amnesia. You already have a sorry history here. The more often someone is suspended, the easier it is for them to earn future suspensions because there's no uncertainty about whether the behavior is a pattern or not.
Suspensions are a pain for moderators right now because they require remembering to unsuspend someone. This problem is about to go away very soon. I can't give a precise date for the release of dBoard 2.0, but I've finished all the database work and am working my way rather quickly through a long list of minor bugs. One feature of dBoard 2.0 is the auto-unsuspend feature. When they suspend someone, moderators will select a time period that ranges from 1 hour to indefinite, with a default of one day. At the end of the time period the member is automatically unsuspended. This will turn suspension into a "Suspend him, forget him" process.
