Even after a ban and over ten warnings
Can someone tell me how an IP ban after THAT many warnings is an over the top punishment?!

He's shown he does not pay attention to any of the staff, and neither does he get the hint after the ban, seeing as he just came back and re-started where he left off.

I'm finding this whole exercise extremely tiring, Paint. The whole "We'll talk sense into him" is NOT the right way to enforce the rules in ANY way, let alone a web forum. He's learnt that he can get away scott free unless the players kick up a fuss. Granted Axe's shoot first, worry about the whining later approach is wrong as well, but Border's had plenty of chances to change, and he's paid it no heed.

This whole affair is making the staff look like a joke to be honest.

Yah, I'm out of school until the 23rd of this month. I decided to change my major though. I switched from computer sciences to the A.S. in web development with design emphasis. Just that simple change took my number of required math classes and decresed it by 8. Yes, that's right..with a computer science major...I had 8 more math classes to take. Not that I couldn't do it...but I enjoy the design part of computers more than the math.

Back on topic now. I'm gonna stick with my previous statement and say that it's my opinion that a poll shouldn't determine the type or duration of a given punishment. It's like being in school and you can't ever get a good seat on the bus unless all the cool kids think you're popular enough. That's just my opinion, of course I'll back whatever action is ultimately taken =D> ...but I don't care much for this type of determination process. :????:

Good luck with the search rags.

I don't think border has gotten 10 warnings. I sure as hell wouldn't give anyone that many chances.

This whole voting for banishment terms is a little ... well I don't think it's a good idea.

Not enough people are participating, only a very small percentage of the forum has voted. That's why voting for this type of situation isn't the best course of action.

That's why I sorta frown on taking this course for punishment. Administrators make the rules, and they should be the ones who enforce the rules. Cause if you think about it.....somewhere along the line there is gonna be someone who screws up bigtime...but says that they want a vote held for their punishment instead of having the admin dish out the punishment. LOL!

I think this issue is somewhat of a big "boo boo"....Next time, I would suggest that if anyone members are feeling like they're not being heard by an admin....Nag them on TS, Skype, Xfire, ICQ, Fill up their PM inbox....or somethin! If you're truly having an issue with someone...just let that person continue on with making a fool of themselves and breaking the server/forum rules...but just ignore them completely. Use that time of ignoring to gather ever more evidence to submit to an admin when they have a free spot in their schedule to deal with your problem! \:D/

just thought of something..what if everyone who doesnt like border just leaves? that would be somethin wouldnt it? i mean i have no problems with u zombie but the way it seems is that border is shoved so far up your ass its hard to tell where he ends and you begin. you know exactly whats goin on you know exactly how he acts and you know exactly what he deserves. some people just dont belong it public. this guy has proved it over 10 times. i dare say there is probably 50 or more times he has harrassed or broken the rules. can i show you iron clad proof?...no...but sooner or later your gonna have to follow some gut instinct when the situation isnt right and there is no proof. i think letting the people vote on him is perfect. he has offended the majority of the people around him, so let them decide his fate.


BTW rangnarok...g/l with your cousin...dont know what to say other than that...

FYI. It's just a forum ban. Border's fine in game.
