Irritating..

On further note, how many bannings does it take before people grow up and realize that they are doing wrong? I don't even see why he's unbanned again. These posts are 90% of the types of things he posts, where he messages someone and tells them off in some big convo, and then posts it thinking we "want to read it to laugh at teh other noob" or something.

No one's laughing with you, only at you.

I still stand by what I said. I was not downing him on a personal level. I am instead trying to stress the point that noone feels like putting up with it. He's had second chances. And one of the first posts he makes after being unbanned is something like that. I am not shit talking someone, I'm making a point. You can't get banned, unbanned, banned, and unbanned again, and then expect people to give you complete leeway to pull the same stunts all over again that got you banned in the first place. This was me finally getting ticked off about it. I will say this to any member that I feel crosses the line repeatedly while expecting to be let off with a slap on the wrist, even on the 90th offense.

Noone should claim "abuse of god mode powers" on this either, because that isn't a point. Yes, it was locked. I felt that it meant enough to me to state my opinion on the matter IN THE SAME WAY YOU DID BY MAKING THIS POST. I neither critisize you for it, NOR WARN YOU FOR IT, because of the generalizations made in both of our posts. However, if you wish, I will go down that thread and warn everyone that I feel contributed to the flames, myself included. However, I will not act like nothing has ever happened before and this is his first offense, because honestly, its not.

I WANT him to improve. I'm going to use my best example here... There was a Cell Jr that we had for a very long time. He used to post the most noobish posts you could find. You know, the one liners and such as a new topic. Stuff that was completely irrelevant to any topic and a waste of time to read. By the end of his stay here, he had become one of my favorite members. He finally learned to type coherently and not like someone suffering from Perkinson's disease, and made very well written clear roleplays. He stood out as one of the best examples of growing up from the spam posts and definately caught our eye by doing so.

That is what I like seeing. Not someone that leaves a jail for the third time in a row, then goes and rapes someone again (same offense as they'd been thrown in jail for before), and then claim that they should be given another chance and a clean record and just get more jail time and get out again in the future to do the same thing. You know, that's exactly what one of my gf's uncles does. And honestly, the world should not work that way. You shouldn't judge someone based on past actions that were ten years ago, but if you spend a straight year beating up everyone that walks past you, and then leave the neighborhood and come back a month later to jump someone else, don't expect everyone to go "Oh, well it was just a one time thing", b/c it usually isn't. You have to work to prove to anyone that anything is different, and until then, people will assume you haven't changed. He probably has changed, but he has to prove that. Until then, he has to accept any backlash that he's earned from his previous actions. They aren't unwarrented. They are from boiling points being reached over and over again.

EDIT: On a side note, this isn't just because of it being Goku Jr. I did the same thing when Kid Buu made his flammatory post, and I really like him. He was a great member before he left, and we had a decent rivalry going. Recoome was in my alliance. He was very cool to me, and I had no problems with him. However, when he crossed serious lines with flaming, I had to say something about the fact that it was immature to keep bringing the same thing up after both parties had let it go. Same with anyone else. Not trying to bring up bad blood about anyone, but if you cross lines, people will call you out on it.
