Let me clarify: my second post was not meant as an attack on any specific person. Instead, I was trying to comment on the fact that that calling something a permaban (or permanent ban) is pointless if the ban is not permanent. Thats just logic. Maybe these bans should be renamed "until we're convinced otherwise bans"? Edit: Yes, I know I'm arguing semantics, but I also know that there are many people on this board who agree with me. A couple of them are mods who recently quit. (edited by Apophis on 05-08-05 02:56 AM) (edited by Apophis on 05-08-05 03:00 AM) |

Originally posted by Apophis Honestly, does it really matter at this point? Does this affect you in some super large scale in which if not corrected your life will be reduced to shambles? I think if you take a few deep breaths and drink some herbal tea, everything is going to be alright. |

Originally posted by Apophis Don't forget mods who haven't quit. I totally agree with this personally. As it is, we look like the staff of GameFAQs, and you know my feelings on the staff of GameFAQs (CJayC in particular). Anyway, as far as the "unjust bans" that Yiffy Kitten just brought up: The Manda thing was during the two years or so I wasn't here, so I can't really comment on that. I'll admit I don't even remember why Legion got banned, though I think it had something to do with the staff reshuffle, and I don't recall it being super-unjust at the time (Though he's a good poster when he's not agreeing with whatever knuck says). Knuck. A most interesting subject, and one I've made my feelings clear on elsewhere. The core of it was this: His perma came out of nowhere and was based on his past behavior (Which it took him less than five posts to regress to). I disagreed with this, but only on the grounds that we could have simply waited for him to make a post like what I linked to and gotten him then, rather than doing it proactively. And there was the whole IRC thing...suffice to say I knew exactly how that was going to play out, and it did. |

Originally posted by EmptyeyeOriginally posted by Apophis Actually, the last Manda banning DID happen when you were here. She came back, didn't break any rules at all, and the three cronies banned her immedietly despite the fact that Acmlm said that with the new board (after the server crash) that everyone would get a second chance, even AE if he came back. But nope, they went above that and banned her. If you want to get technical about it, I was banned for flaming..........knuck. And anyone in irc knows that me and knuck fight on a regular basis. It's what we do. Of course that time we were arguing in that one "Mosts" thread was serious. That's the technical answer. The whole main answer was more of a personal thing and I've already explained that in my other thread so I wont get into it here. It's a shame that the main people who it was directed too didn't even read it as obvious by their response to it. One last thing, so what if ex-mods agree with it? I'm an ex-mod, and I don't agree with it. (edited by Gelion on 05-08-05 03:18 AM) |

Originally posted by Geliontl;dr! Originally posted by GRAVITEHGraviteh, why did you mention that thread? It was just people bicking in a particularly moronic way. And Leg was one of the few ones who actually made sense, which REALLY doesn't help your case (considering you, uh, didn't). And you so fail for the lack of a href.

You and Knuck seem to have a love-hate sort of relationship that changes on an hourly basis, and I have no idea how serious any of it is. That Manda thing is interesting. As far as I understand what led up to that, she was all happy-go-lucky at one point, then went utterly postal at some point which led to her getting banned. For some reason, I don't remember this new chapter in the legacy...roughly when was it? |

Originally posted by Emptyeye The fighting between me and knuck is basically the same as how brothers would fight. As for the Manda thing, it was late last year. She registered under some other name. I'll go look it up now. Check it out. Look at her few posts and tell me which ones called for a ban. None of them. And like I said, Ace said that everyone who was banned when the board crashed on the old server would be unbanned on the new host. They banned her because Hiryuu has some kind of issues with her still from the past that he hasn't worked out or something to that affect. That, and Anya doesn't like her and neither does Colleen. Thus, she was banned. |

Originally posted by GelionBig N, small y, big fucking Q. I witnessed the same thing, so I can verify that it indeed did happen. GRAVITEH, you were spamming your way through threads left and right. And then you got mad at Legion because he still beat you in the ACSpam. Sad, really. Emptyeye: I don't think this is comperable to GameFAQs at all. there has to be at least 1000 times more activity there (I'm guessing) compared to here. This is much smaller, and when an intelligent and important member of the community is unjustly banned (nevermind 3), there are problems which arise from it. If the admins really are "Sick of babysitting whiny kids" as Anya put it, I believe, then they should ban the whiny kids, not the people who tell them to shut up and stop being so emo. Of course, there's also the faction that can't take ANYTHING even REMOTELY serious on this board. To them, it's alwyas supposed to be fun and spam. Something serious comes up, and they go all "OMG DRAMA LOOK AT THAT THREAD". Hiryuu was a big contributor on that one. Do you even know what drama IS? Drama - I'd be hard pressed to apply ANY of those definitions to what's going on here. I can think of a few other good words, though... |

I know precisely what Drama is. It's a 1980 Yes album with Trevor Horn on Vocals, Geoff Downes on Keyboard, Chris Squire on Bass, Steve Howe on Guitar, and Alan White on Drums. One of their best and most underrated albums. No, but seriously, the problem isn't so much that the serious issues AREN'T drama per se, but rather that they erupt into such and almost invariably devolve into personal attacks as two sides each attack the other. As far as the comparison to GameFAQs goes, you're right in that this is a much smaller community, and is thus of a more personal nature in terms of staff interaction with regular posters. But my point was that the staff of GameFAQs gives more "last chances" than the United Nations gave Saddam Hussein. Regardless of whether the bans in question were just or not--and I've already given my opinions on that based on what I know--a so-called "perma-ban" is slowly starting to have less and less meaning here, and I'd rather not the perception of staff be a bunch of spineless jellyfish who are afraid to stick to their guns when it comes to bans (A la GameFAQs). This is, admittedly, a somewhat seperate issue from whether said bans are just or not, but it's another one that I feel should be addressed. |

Did anyone forget that Manda came to the old board back in 2004 and did flame both Anya and Hiryuu? She got permabanned for that, althought it is debatable if it was enough for a permaban. And well, I wouldn't mind her unbanned now. As long she keeps herself calm. I talked with her now and then back then so I never had any personal grudge against her.

Just grasp that there never can be nor never will be any sort of "Permaban" on ANY message board. IPs change, ISPs change, people can return time and time again ANYWHERE without ever being caught, the only giveaways being the names, layouts, or the person admitting it. The concept of a permaban is stupid anyway. Unless the person has actually tried to hack the board, a permaban is overkill. It's like giving a shoplifter the death penalty. Or, in the cases of Legion, knuck, and Manda, it's baiting them to shoplift and then giving them the chair, or not even waiting to see if they DO try to grab something and stuff it down their pants. This board doesn't have true justice, nor can it ever. It's an internet message board. |

I'm only coming back to post this one thing...and to insult some of you =o 1. I don't think i would mind seeing Manda back either she's hot =o. 2. knuck and leg are awesome, anyone who takes the flaming shit seriously needs to check themselves. Oh wait, i forgot i'm talking to a board that consists of 99%whining 14 year olds that can't take someone FLAMING THEM ON THE INTERNET. We've all had to deal with it kids, grow up. 3. I love how the more interesting, intelligent, and goddamn witty members get banned, while fucking idiots like GRAVITEH roam free. Newsflash, Grav. You're not funny. Nor will you ever be. 4.ACS was the worst idea this board ever had, and will continue to encourage stupid fucking shit like you see here. 5. oh, and before anyone asks: I'm fine. I'm having a blast without this board. Like hell i would permanently return to this hole. 6. I find it kinda funny the board crumbled in on itself after i left. its like you guys needed me. aw (edited by Valcion Kaizer on 05-08-05 04:12 AM) |

Originally posted by Yiffy Kitten So now I'm confused. You keep going on about how Manda, Knuck and Legion were banned "unjustly", and then say this. Are you saying you're fighting for an ideal you know can't be achieved? What was the point of this? Help me out here. As to the permaban, I agree that we should probably just change the name of it to the "permanent until you plead your case to acmlm or an administrator and they crumble" ban. |
