However, in an attempt to give a least a mildly viable analogy, here goes.

A customer walks into a store. He slips on a patch of wet floor and breaks his leg. There was no ‘Wet Floor’ sign posted. The janitor in charge has been properly trained, and has never made this kind of error before. Who do you think the customer is going to sue? The janitor, or the owner?

Even though the owner did nothing wrong, he’ll still be held accountable. This was part of the risks he took when he opened a store in the first place. He bumumed those risks when he started the business.

m0x, in a similar vein, bumumed certain risks when he crossed the line and posted detailed personal information on this site. If additional infractions occur because of a previous infractions, then additional consequences are also possible, and highly likely.

More like if the janitor caught some 10 year old peeing on the floor and beat the living **** out of him. He might be brought back form a suspension with extremely probationary status (not likely, but about as likely as a permabanned player being brought back), but at the first hint of a lawsuit or any public knowledge that would cost money and customers — he’d be fired. Regardless of whether there was any further wrongdoing or not. The company must protect itself from seeming to condone the action.

To be clear, I don’t care. Really that’s Catt’s call as far as I’m concerned. Unban Chelmy, though. Log in to see images!

I was just starting to respect you. What’s with this hard-on you’ve got for chimney and NoP all of the sudden?

He’s all about quantity over quality. He likes that they post tons of **** because there’s tons of it.

2 tons of rotten **** don’t make up for 1 nugget of golden ****

You don’t know that m0x did it. This is a pretty important point!

Completely aside from the fact that you are condemning him based on cirgreat timesstantial evidence, there is some serious undermining going on here. Quite serious. The most serious.

The first time he was perma’d, it was for posting personal info. Posting personal info. And he got banned. Why did he get banned, along with the removal of said information? So it wasn’t spread around.

Fast forward to now: someone sends catt a post it note. This is exactly the kind of scenario you are looking to avoid when you say personal information is against the rules. So far, so good. But then, you go and ban m0x anyway. Ban m0x. m0x. If you are just going to ban him, why does it even matter what personal info m0x posted? Once its posted apparently anyone can use it, but m0x gets to be scapegoat for the ban.

Either this ban is stupid and should be removed, or the first ban was implemented in error. In which case: he never should have been perma’d in the first place, wasn’t on tenuous ground when he came back, and is now facing an unfairly long ban. fnord

NoP is a child, it’s kinda fun to read his attempts at English but I really wouldn’t miss him.

Blah blah blah

Flamebate =/= real world – This is fine with me whatever.

The rest of that, including your analogy, was some straight up nonsense, with relevance ranging from zero to none.

Since when was offsite harbumment a bannable offense?

now that wasn’t even clever

Alright. Since people here love imaginary scenarios, I’ll cook one up myself.

Imagine, if you will, a new player joins this excellent and educational community (remember to use your imagination, folks) and try their hand at trolling. Catt bans them repeatedly for being a raging male reproductive organ-mongler of the worst kind and this new player just doesn’t ‘get’ it and get’s very angry over his bannings. New player is a /b/-tard and thinks ‘get docs’ or some dumb anon type **** and Googles the ever-loving **** out of Catt Although. Ta-****ing-da! Personal Information glaore! New player then decides to say **** the line, I’m running a marathon in this ****, and sends some notes to Catt. Now, new player isn’t completely ****ing very special, so he (obv, chicks usually don’t get this damn obsessed, plus no chicks blah blah blah) makes the notes about another ****-bucket from the site. The point of the creepy is to make Catt paranoid as all **** and stop banning anyone, including our almost sentient protagonist, out of the creepy fear he hoped to instill with some post-it notes, because what’s ****ing scarier than a post-it note? A run-on sentence of extra-medium proportions?

Now, I’m not saying I know the first bit of truth behind m0x’s banning, but I am saying that there’s too much of a possibility that m0x had nothing to do with the sender and this is all just a knee-jerk reaction by the mods. Seriously, I don’t know anything not already stated in this thread, I just wanted to illustrate a point that’s been overlooked or just brushed away seemingly without consideration.
