No exceptions. More information is included in the CoffeeGeek FAQ.
Accept Decisions made by Moderators
CoffeeGeek has a small team of volunteers tasked with the job of making sure forum rules are adhered too as well as helping the community and improving discussion. They are a team of people, each with an understanding of the responsibilities involved with forum moderating. Decisions are not made hastily and every correspondence received from members is discussed as much as possible. The team strives to be fair to every member of the community. You may not always agree but accept the choices made and subsequent actions of the moderating team, they are here to help as much as possible.
