You forgot Kraid, I think.

kraid is pretty harmless. hes really just a big old softie.

Just to add, I have nothing against Kraid, and I agree that he’s harmless. I just think that fair is fair, and if there are rules, they should be for everyone.

thats a dumb way of looking at rules and it only serves to take away responsibility and accountability from those in power.

So it’s ok to break the rules if you’re well-liked, but if you’re not, they should be enforced with an iron fist?

Yeah, but if you have rules, they have to be for everyone. If someone is banned and comes back with illegal alts, and that’s bad, then everyone who’s banned and comes back with illegal alts is equally bad.

To be fair, some amount of discrimination is generally a plus. IMO it’s better to keep someone on a tight leash (i.e. know who they are, but not ban them) than it is to just ban them – doing so will just provoke them to find new ways to evade it, and then you won’t know who they are and who to watch.

Also, as long as they aren’t banned, they have something to lose, which will (sometimes) make them think twice. If you repeatedly ban them, then they have nothing to lose.

I still say if one comes back, they should all come back. Give them all one more chance, then perma-ban anyone breaking the rules, once and for all. That’s fair.

I also think there should be a warning step. A warning, then a ban. Warning to expire after a certain number of days.

i actually think the relatively lenient approach the admins/mods have taken is working very well. seeing as how this is basically a game for internet trolls, you have to cut people some slack as long as in the long run they’re amusing people and adding excitement to the community, particularly in these dry pre-episode 2 months. on the other hand if someone just signs on and spams threads to hell with boring unfunny gibberish that would be more grounds for a straight-up ban imo.

I’m not talking any players treatment of people. I’m talking admin/mod treatment. I think that they should enforce the rules fairly, otherwise the whole thing just becomes a popularity contest, where those that are well liked can break the rules while those that aren’t have to follow them.

I agree that the lenient enforcement of the rules totally works here. Which is why I don’t get this sudden campaign.

That’s bumuming that Sig is Pants, which I think you are far from proving.

interesting how people request bans for others, for whatever they can think up, but when its one of their klannies its ‘oh hes a good guy and did nothing wrong’ Very interesting imo and this is pure opinion not a troll..

what is even more interesting is people direcctly trolling in game discussion, requesting bans on people, and its allowed
