damn, if a neg rep meant something i would hit you with one for starting this stupid ass thread. it's not your business what the mods do here, and if some friggin pole influences who gets banned then wtf is that. palma knew what he was doing, and knew what was gonna happen. i've faught with several mods, but you still can't cross the line.

thread done.

Dork worked his way back up and never broke forum rules just Admin rules.

Wow.

Obviously, his past status can't have been an issue as he was a staff member, be it a different form than a mod, he was still given a special status when this behavior was known. This means it was accepted for it was.

So Dork's actions, breaking rules as an admin is acceptable? These actions aren't deemed as bad, because they were "admin rules"? I don't want to get into specifics but I think Dork's violations were much worse than anything Palma ever did. So Palma doesn't get the chance to earn his way back in at all?

More & more it sounds like the rules are made to be tailored to support the individual need of the situation at hand rather than being standard uniform protocols.

Shouldn't veteran members get more leeway regardless? They are what make the site worth reading for the most part.

I voted yes, but not immediately. I say give it a little time to settle, a couple weeks or something.

Actually, it's your violation of the rules that you expect others to follow that makes people cry.

*sniff*

But on the upside, I do find you to be a very creative individual. I wish you would utilize your talents in a more productive way.

hey man the way I look at it, Dork pulled a fast one on the mods and he beat the system! The mods/admins banned a guy, and dork gave all of them the finger and repped the guy's new account back to back times after the guy's old account had been banned! doing that and not getting banned is much cooler and more bad ass then calling a mod a P.O.S. and getting banned.


Dork you are the man because you are still here. Regardless of whether or not you got demoted, you directly crossed a mod in the worst possible way, and YOU GOT AWAY WITH IT! You have power and influence my man.

If Dork earned his way back through helping out and being cool, than Palma should be able to do so too, keeping his staff status.

Am I alone in seeing this logic?

I was a mod when all that crap came down and went back & forth with Dork on many occasions and it was acceptable. We're cool now (I hope) so why the double standard for Palma?

Why all the double standards period?

[Ubermensch]

I'm with Steel he should be let back after all his contributions but not right a way and there should be something he has to do to get back like write another article or something.

I'm trying not to say who i'm with or what I think, even in a civil manner because that got me inmated a few days ago.

im wondering who the next inmate will be because I have a feeling it's coming soon. I'm tellin ya folks, it will come out of no where for no apparent reason.

A) Palma was indeed a staff member. But him writing for the main page has nothing to do with the rules here. Those are 2 seperate things. They are just designated on here because they deserve some credit for helping the main page.

B) Dork broke a rule as an admin and was kicked out. He showed that he was sorry and helped out as the vbookie manager and a deputy mod for quite a while so we brought him back

C) Palma could have signed up with a new account and nobody would ahve known but instead he decided to create new accounts and continue his antics after being banned, so his IP was banned. So he had the opportunity for another chance but blew it. Never mind the fact that he has had plenty of previous problems in the past for not keeping the flaming under control

steel you are seriously treading thin ice bro. You can't argue with these people, even in a civil manner. Go back and look at the thread where I was inmated and tell me I was not civil. I mean look at my last post before I was inmated for pete's sake! I was inmated for Needlessly & Continually Stirring Up Trouble so seriously bro, I would walk softly.
