raven maniac

I don't think there's anything wrong with his name. I don't find it offensive at all to be honest.

As I said, flaming/trolling is not accepted on these forums. I wasn't kidding when I said we were going to start banning idiots for this. You've had problems with this before and have been banned before for doing it, strike 2 Apple.

lol. They act as if all of these clips come from 1 scrim/pug. It's a shit load of demos from over the years all balled into 1 frag video. It's also not 1 person, it's a bunch of people. What I said obviously still applies.

He's at -6517 and falling fast! QUICKLY ATTACK!

FUCKER BE STEALIN MAH IMAGES N SHIT!

haha I +repped him anyhow, it added a good bit to his rep. I'll just keep spreading the love so I can give him more and more each time. ^_^

I'll just edit his rep to max full. xD

haha, you can tell who's played & who hasn't played competitively.

I don't, nor do I expect him or anyone else to have behavior above what an admin should. I expected him to come back to the forums and make reasonable decisions. There's times when I've made the wrong decisions myself and posted flame material, but I'm always the first to man up and admit my wrongdoings the moment I realize what I've done. YES, he deleted the picture and that was definitely the right thing to do in his case. I know that he understood he was wrong in the sense that he realized the picture was not needed and removed it, so that would make sense in the fact the was on the road to changing his ways. I'll tell you what, I'll PM Dracula today on steam when he gets on later and I'll discuss the situation with him. After I talk with him I'll make my decision (which will not be influenced by anyone or anything except on Dracula's conversation with me) on him getting unbanned.

I guess when you check the reported post it saves a picture of the reported post and sends the link to your email instead of actually linking you to the most recent time. I can agree with this, you do have a point here. Agreed. I honestly think the ban needs to stay because he has been given his chances. IF this was a 1st time offense or even 2nd/3rd I would understand, but it's an everyday occurrence with him Italian.

When I issued the ban, the picture was still there. He must have edited the post as I was in the usercp. You're missing the point, he was banned before for flaming people & just generally being a troll. I perm banned him not only for the picture, but for doing the same shit as before. The post was also reported, which ends up being an email sent to all higher-ups. If the post is bad enough where someone takes the time to report it and when I check my email hours later the picture is still there, then yes it warrants a ban. :edit: Let me put it in a different perspective... If someone gets banned for racism for 1 week, then they come back to the servers after the week is up and use racism again, but using lighter words, it's still racism and that person will get banned. Now what you're saying is, basically that person shouldn't get banned because the racism he used wasn't as bad as the one before? Do you see where I'm coming from now?

He was doing fine for the week until he posted the image and was heading down the same old road again. He was talked to before, which was his warning. He was banned before which was warning #2. I just recently banned him which was warning #3. Now I just banned him again which is the perm ban after he had already been warned 3x about the SAME exact actions that got him banned before. I don't see what you're not understanding. We follow the 3strike policy here, it doesn't vary unless someone goes to an extreme. He was given his 3 chances and in-fact given an extra chance by myself, all of which were warnings that he understood. Why do I have to take time out of what I'm doing to talk to him like a child and explain to him that what he's doing is wrong after every occurrence? I'm not going to baby every person in this community to get them to understand things, no one should. He's old enough to take responsibility for his own actions, as is everyone else in this community.

The fact is he needs to not do it at all. I have no problems with Drac, but I just warned him about it a week ago about the same exact thing and gave him a 3-day ban from the forums regarding it. I know we hardly talk to each other & you haven't said anything about my BD position, I agree and apologize for jumping the gun & reading/taking your post in the wrong way. It wasn't a piss poor decision because he was just warned for doing the same shit regardless if it is light or heavy, it was proof that he wasn't going to change and that he would be doing the same shit. I understand you only do this on things that you think are wrong, but you need to realize that Dracula has been warned & banned for the same exact thing before. If I wouldn't have banned him for his actions, then I'd have another group asking about "Double Standards" because I let it slide. I'm not on any side of the fence with decisions regarding Drac, I'm in the middle, as I am with everyone else. I enjoyed playing with Drac & I even gave him my version of CoH so he could play with the rest of the group playing it but he has no special immunities, nor does anyone else in this community.
