Sorry, but I stopped reading after your first ridiculous statement concerning Nazi's. Grow the fuck up.

Mathy, as much as I hate to break it to ya, this is not a democratic board, it's an autocratic board. Let's face it: we don't elect the staff, they are hand-picked. We don't decide who's banned or whatnot (this is a rare case, and I started it kind of along with some others by being a little shit to Yiffy Kitten ), the staff does. The staff runs the place. Even though Yiffy Kitten attempted to make a democratic thread, the board is and probably always will be autocratic. Not that it's right, but that's just the way it's going to be...

EDIT: oh, and if you want a democratic board, make your own!

*smacks you all*

edit: If you think the nazi comment was ridiculous, insert any other political entity and any bad decision it's made. I was using hyperbole, just like you. You can't cry no fair for me using your stuff can you?

I even quoted it for you for christ's sake. The decision may not be democratic, but Yiffy Kitten said that this discussion's thread is intended to be. If you want to harass me about the difference between reality and computer text, save the effort: I'm well aware of it. But don't forget that by your own resignedness you're contributing to the undemocratic nature.

"grow up"

your rhetorical skills could use some growing up.

Well, let's just say if I contributed to a democratic nature, it wouldn't make any difference. This place would stay autocratic anyway. And yes, I'm a pessimist. Wooo! And um, I wasn't trying to harass you. I was merely pointing out to you that although some of us might LIKE democracy here, the chances of it happening are slim.

It's not that you're a pessimist Kefka, it's just that you're a realist. Some people can't get it through their thick heads that you don't have rights on this board. Every part of this board is a priveledge. (Except to Ace of course seeings how he owns it)

You didn't pay for it, it's free. You have no right to complain whatsoever. Why can't people understand this? Why?!

I don't think Kario should be unbanned because he has a record of not paying attention to the rules. 6 - 7 bans on the old board, plus the 2 bans on this board? That's 8 - 9 bans!! If he couldn't learn to go by the rules after those bans, what are the chances that he's learned it this time?

Btw, for those of you wishing for democracy ( ), the people voting for Kario *not* to be unbanned are currently winning the poll.

Well, after a full wee of being banned, I have finally returned. I put this thread here because it is basically going to say what happened this last week, so it's pretty general.
1. I got banned, and I cried....(not really)
2. I worked on my hack a bit
3. I went to other message boards, so I could talk to some people for the last week.
4. The girl I really like decided to go to prom with my friend, which I am fine with. Glad she wont be alone.
5. Somehow, I now have 3 prom dates. 2 are seniors, one is a freshman. Heh, wheeee!!!!!1
6. Worked at my job. Anybody heard of the Big Texan
7. Two of my friends quit the Big Texan.
8. The drama of my senior year has seemingly ended, hope it stays that way
9. Came back to Acmlm, only to remember that I was banned....boo hoo hoo.
10. Killed a cat in my new car, I felt horrible.


Stupid Threads get Stupid Answers, shows Kario has NOT changed, thus deserves to be banned. Now, those of you on the jury, do you wish for more of these threads to be posted? If you do, you know what to vote!

(Personally, I do want him unbanned, I was playing RO and not on IRC when all this happened) =(

Kario should be unbanned. You might be asking "WHY GOD WHY?", and the answer is simple: it wasn't fair. I agree that Kario has been stupid as hell lately, but ban him because "we don't need him here"?
And Hiryuu and Cymoro are right about the staff, so quit bitchin. Deal with it.
And stop saying OMG U FALMEL KARIO (. The thread has nothing to do with Kario being unbanned.

btw, what Ace said about Kario's ban:[21:19:32] <knuck> kario is banned[21:19:32] <Acmlm> it all happened while I was gone[21:19:35] <Acmlm> and I don,t care really

Really? Here's what he said to ME (spaces were added cause I'm too lazy to make a fake HTML tag ):

< Acmlm > announcing his return after the unban doesn't deserve a permanent ban
< Acmlm > especially when everyone else just makes fun of him in the thread and starts posting crap
< Kefka > yea, I know
< Acmlm > that even gets put in the Display Case

He seemed to care a LITTLE... this was long before I knew that he had been banned so many times though, so I was siding with Ace. But I disagree with him now... people don't deserve 10th chances.

EDIT: and no, I don't keep track of the time in my logs.

And my log is older than yours (it was 1 minutes or so after Kario's ban).

Hey, let's not forget the facts here:

Kario was banned for a week. He served his time. Came back, made a few posts, and was panned again. The point is that the "he would have been banned anyways" argument is kinda shitty, because why wasn't he just permabanned in the first place, then? The obvious due process analogy is that a prisoner serves his time, gets released, does something stupid - but not illegal - and then "they" decide that he'd just end up breaking the law anyways and put him back in jail. Roughly.

And anyone who's planning on saying, "well, we don't need due process here"... kindly stab yourself in the face or something. I know that. The admins are allowed to be arbitrary, but it's better when they can admit to be arbitrary. "Week's up, guess we should unban him. Oh, wait, never mind, he sucks."

"The thread has nothing to do with Kario being unbanned."

You know I'm normally on your side Knuck...but that was just stupid.

Hmmm...

I'm surprised no one has called me out yet, due to my past and all. Meh, most of you are too new to even know what I'm talking about.

Yeah I know I'm giving something to use against my arguement but hey, I'm bored and I like to argue.

You mean about how you've been permabanned but given a second chance?

No. I meant how I've been been permabanned twice and given second chances.

In my opinion, I don't think he should be unbanned at all. When he was banned the first time, he should have learned his lesson but since he is permabanned now, he didn't. I have seen his recent posts and I think that he was definitely flaming and that he is an idiot for not learning his lesson from the first time he was banned. Only the administrators can make the decision of whether he should come back or not but I think that most of the people here don't want Kario back because of his stupidity.
