you cannot differentiate between 'your' and 'you're' [/b][/quote] At work, no care. [/b][/quote] Your engrish is nice.
Maj I don't really know you...I've seen you in/around IRC and such...but honestly I think this is the biggest crock of ---- I've seen on GR...and this is the kind of ---- that is killing GR. This thread is pointless and the "members" should have no say in it...this is a staff discussion. Now...I respect you and your tendencies but I think what was posted...the whole harlequin baby thing was lame...and I think if it were an outright ban for just that...that would be insane...but I think the position Marforce took was you being at 100% warning...there was no other way to "discipline" your post...not sure if it warranted a ban...but people have gotten a warning for far less here...but with you being at 100% another warning couldn't be administered...which led to a ban. Dem...I love you...but you're getting soft... Kirbir takes a lot of ----...epic ----...and has for a long time and shes stuck with GR...and judging by the IRC convos...you were just joking...as I've you seen come in and be nice/kind and legit with Kirbir...so I honestly don't think it was a personal attack at her (or her child)...but if you knew it erked her...no need to continue. I think not respecting a mods decision...by continuing to post is lame...if a mod wanted you gone by banning you...you shouldn't need to make a poll...Im not sure if you feed off of the attention from the drama...or what the deal is, but this is ignorant...after being suspended for 6 months and coming back as soon as the ban was up...and apparently yearning for attention from an online community in a social manner...not for artistic reasons ...or so it seems... is lame...and maybe you need to take a break from GR and go play a game called "Real life"...you're 18...go enjoy life dude...what we say/vote doesnt mean ----...this thread is just a flamefest...and it useless...if anything it should be discussed among staff...and staff only.
Dem, bottom line is, Maj was unbanned and on a tight rope. He doesn't have the same rights as any other members have on here because of what he did when he was banned the first time. He was banned for a reason before and we (including you Dem) were kind enough to let him back in, knowing he was on a leash. So when he decided to post a stupid ass pic and talk shit in the chat, why shouldn't he have been banned. Any other member would have been banned if they were on a tight leash too.
Didn't even need to read the rest of the thread. Well duh, who honestly cares what people think of them over the internet? Tons of people do anything they want because they are hidden on the internet.
zomg, Shaggy was here . Majin, I like you, you know I do, we used to chat in mIRC often but even I think you pushed the limit, surely you must see that. If you ever have a baby with your wife you wouldn't want your new child to have anything wrong with it. Do you honestly think Kirbir is going to be happy with the comments given. She's having a baby and Dem maybe she has became more emotional, but so what. She's just standing up for someone who doesn't exist yet and you guys obviously can't see that. If you get some sick pleasure from being nasty to members maybe could you kindly ------ off and find another forum to do so. Because, even though I'm not staff and have never spoken to Llamaman, I know that he wouldn't of wanted his forum to have turned into a hateful flame place where people can insult people and get away with it. Just because you can't see that,person doesn't mean they don't have feelings.
why the hell do you always have these convo's while I'm asleep... I'm voting stay, he was on a tight leash and he was rude. Who gives a ------? He didn't break any rules.
Its funny how half of these retards take the internet so damn serious, i vote stay on Maj, him and Dem are the only people who actually made me laugh...except for Morv who was just a complete moron, yet witty.
Thats fine, but with 6 months worth of being back with no truly poor behavior (maybe one, I can't be arsed to look at the warn log, but I think he was warned on the site for his 'abortion' comment in IRC a bit back), thats 2 warning removals. I think that alone warrants more than our 1 strike rule which I (not the I in there) put into place to prevent this kind of thing. I truly feel that his ban was unwarranted from the site. The IRC yes. Was majin wrong? Yes. Does what he did on the IRC permit a site ban for something so minor? No. I know for a fact had he posted that image in the IRC (which, he didn't even post the picture in the IRC, just the flame forum, Tnuckvirp is the one who posted the image in the IRC, and the conversation Kirbir had to pull for an 'as an example' type thing is from over a month ago, and he hasn't done anything to that magnitude since) for any other female member without some large deal being made of it by the rest of the IRC, most people, including most of the staff, would be joking with him. He may have said some negative things, sure, that's maj. NOTHING was wrong as for what he did on the site. He posted the picture in THE LAST WORD flame forum, where I forced it into creation so that people could do shit like that. Cuss, racism, hatred, expressing true emotions WITHOUT the ability to be held to a punishable offense. Not only was he banned on the site for something he said in the flame forum, his thread was deleted by the moderating staff, and false accusations have been thrown about him. Frankly, every staff member knows where I am coming from, and I am sure thats a majority of their reasoning in not replying. Maybe its because I have known Majin, as well as many others have, for years. I know personally how hard it is for him to control the things he says, and hes been more mature the last few months than anytime in the past. I like to give judgment based on the individual, and their individualistic tendencies, and frankly, I think Maj deserves more than 1 chance, especially considering 6 months worth of good behavior.
I'll say this, a lot of people, myself included DO have restraint problems. it's a matter of wanting attention. like personally when it comes to real world experiences, fi I'm in a small group I'm pretty damned chill, but the moment I"m in a large group I NEED TO BECOME THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. it's just an aspect of some people and some people have it worse than others.
I know I said I wouldn't post again, but I just wanted to say that I think thats crap tbh.. its basically saying that he has e-tourettes, and cant control what he types, and when he presses the send button.. People took offense to what he said, therefore it became a problem whether you agree that it was offensive or not. It may well have been all in humor and all jokes, but the fact of the matter still stands that it was offensive to some people, and insulting. Therefore instead of trying to say that he can't control what he says, and making out that people shouldn't be offended by it simply because you weren't, perhaps you should enforce your moderators decision and back them up with what they have decided. I'm sure that you have probably made decisions that other mods/admin have disagreed with, but have backed you up because you made that decision as an admin. Surely moderators and admin should stick together on subjects like this.. Try to at least see things from my perspective before flaming me again.
