Not only is it a bad argument, but it’s complete sour grapes speculation. As much as I supposedly care/don’t care or am serious not/serious you can really see who takes RP stuff to heart by reading this thread.

I think you are begging the question when you say that. We’re talking about favoritism and people who were banned for things that maybe they shouldn’t have been banned for. RP is being taken care of in RP.

Hmm, good point Celery Steve, but my guess would be that Crotch Zombie Productions only doesn’t ban you because they are concerned that doing so would cause you to throw a hissy fit and post episode 3 spoilers all over the forums and in real life.

The implication here is that we gave Celerysteve special treatment by not banning him despite the fact that he broke the rules. I consider this ironic, since the exact opposite is true.

I did tempban Celerysteve, despite the fact that alt-revealing is currently not against the rules. I only did so because he’d posted information gleaned from the Apprentice subforum, which I considered a guarded environment. At first I simply edited Celerysteve’s posts to remove the alt-reveal, but after he reverted his original posts — twice, despite an email warning that he says he missed — I decided to community ban him.

I unbanned him soon afterward, when the alt himself came out and explicitly revealed his identity. At that point, I figured it wasn’t worth trying to protect it anymore.

As for Episode 3 spoilers, there is always a concern that they could leak. However, I believe if Celerysteve (or anyone from the Apprentice forums) were permabanned for legitimate reasons, they would be sensible enough not to pull such a stunt. For what it’s worth, Celerysteve left the Apprentice project long before any major plot spoilers became known.

tl;dr: Unless I somehow missed Opposite Day, this is a conjectural and baseless bumumption.

That is kind of flawed because if that’s the case, I suppose Fingerz can be unbanned now that Celerysteve admitted that was his pic.

I’ll respond for JB because he can’t (what with being banned and all)

The difference is, what Fingerz did (revealing personal info, yes, a picture falls under that category) is against the rules, while alt-revealing is not.

Were that the case, which it isn’t… How would that not be revealing personal info?

Here’s another question for rules clarification:

Is it trolling if you continually try to post misinformation, opinions as fact, and unsubstantiated down right lies in a CD thread along with saying things like “you’d throw a hissy fit”? Because it seems like obvious trolling to me.

If the mods are biased or upset with somebody would it be ok to let it continuously slide if it was directed at that person?
