There is one ban that I am sour about, which is this morning where I had been dumped my my gf, where I posted something stupid (I didn't even read the whole sentence the guy had written, I just raged on my keyboard) because I was so fucking angry against the whole world, where I realized very quickly that I had been an asshole, that I apologized and recognized my fault publicly, and still got banned two weeks. I do think the mod are doing very well, and, contrarily to what a lot of people say, that the quality of the forum is very high. I pointed out that banning someone who has recognized he was wrong and apologized is just stupid. I still think it is.

Not to re-hash this particular discussion; but do you really think apologizing completely absolves one of accountability for their actions? Obviously, it depends on the circumstances, but when you're someone with four prior bans for the inability to keep yourself in check, and you do it again, and even more severely, what do you honestly expect us to do? What would YOU do in our shoes?

Everybody has bad days. But when you have a track record like yours, you can understand that the excuses aren't going to carry much weight.

That said, your apology wasn't exactly stellar. Even after you apologize, you still can't let it go and continue to be abrasive. THAT is precisely why I still banned you.

I whole-heartedly agree with Brood that I think you completely lack the required self-awareness to be able to objectively identify your own demeanor in debates. I think you can come off like an ass and completely do not realize that you can come off like an ass.

That said, I do not think there is malicious intent behind your posting, which is why all of your bans have only been temporary bans. For what it's worth, I think they did their job too; as Brood pointed out, you are a much better poster nowadays than you were in the past. Although you will frequently make comments like "I would reply to that, but I know it would get me banned", which suggests to me that you know WHAT will get you in trouble, but I still don't think you fully understand WHY.

Which is fine as far as I'm concerned, because my goal was simply to have you become a better poster... whether that's because of a genuine desire to improve or simply fear of the banhammer, it makes little difference.

I thought someone had been previously warned or temp banned before for something like this so I went back and had a look to see if he had posted before in any other wallpaper threads and I found this

TL needs more sexy mama pics to help convert people away from the idiotic notion of teen sex being all that special. (Edit: football threads seem quite good at this)

if people would get banned for having pedophile needs, it would rain bans everytime a desktop thread is opened.
mangas usually depict girls to look way under an appropriate age, just with hugely oversized breasts.

clearly a difference between actual children and cartoons

also what is a "pedophile need" exactly?

Did you just compare anime to child pornography? o.0?

There is a huge difference between a manga background and the creepiness that is TurbulentTurtle's desktop... I imagine the profile picture being the last straw.

EDIT: Make that compare to instead of compare with, just for emphasis.

creepy is creepy yo.

Ofc you could argue the simulation of murder in videogames could be creepy. Wrongfully so for the most part people associate videogames with a fantasy life, but frankly most of us don't have our computer dedicated to showing off us killing virtual ppl, which probably would be creepy.

It's creepy to be 100% one thing that could be considered bad on some level.

And most ppl who read books or manga again associate that crap with a fantasy life, few ppl collect manga and anime crap and thankfully fewer invest in manga child porn(i'm sure there is actually a word for that)

But to be putting the porn all over yourdesktop is just creepy, how many ppl splatter then desktop with regular porn let alone child porn. Also the user pic was over the top.

creepy creepy creepy

Kennigit setting a bad example:

LunarisDream was just temp banned for 1 week by Kennigit.

That account was created on 2010-06-30 09:28:43 and had 3 posts.

Reason: 1 week ban is 1 week.

Thought those memes were frowned upon?
