I dare you to find 10 people and 5 examples showing that I should be banned! It will be a better use of your time, and family fun for everyone.

How about this:
First, your username has "bob" in it.
To conclude, you should be banned.

The end.

1. Congratulations, SAJN, you managed to make drama on a forum dedicated to a computer game. Good going.

2. In reading Det and kak's comments, does nobody have a sense of humor, nor any ability to entertain sarcasm?

3. You have to understand that, as Freelancer said, one who is not an annoying git is much less likely to be banned or otherwise punished.

4. Again, this is not a democracy. Whining is counterproductive.

5. Am I the only one amused by the intensity of this whole game of Internet Forum Spying and Espionage: Volume 2: Really Cool Edition?

6. So, in summary, you got eight people to post their forum name on a "pention" stating that they don't like somebody on the internet, and then you started a thread about it. Awesome.

SAJN--whining won't get him banned. Sometimes there are things you must accept in life, people you must accept that YOU DON'T LIKE. Life is not fair, it is not portrayed as fair. The more you deal, the less you *****, the more mature you seem.

Okay. This is it. The big one.

Subject One: The infamous Staff thread
Since apparently this is available to SAJN, ubuu, Correction, and everybody else and their mom, I've decided that the whole thing should be available to prove that an actual discussion took place, instead of just "I hate those guys, let's ignore this." Names have been removed, and "..." indicates a new post.

Quote:
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
[The Original Petition]

...

I told SAJN if he was really mad at something ubuu did, he should get together with other people and write a good explanation on why ubuu should be punished.

so, what do you all think about it?

...

There are several problems with Ubuu... first he is technically a staff member, so I think Brian needs to be involved with this. Also, I don't think he really means most of what he says, and doesnt quite realize how much he can hurt people sometimes. JediKirby and I had a long talk about it a while ago... JK said that he tried to ignore Ubuu, but that didnt stop him, like it would most people.

...

He's not really an admin. Ban him if he deserves it. I'll change his massassi admin password so he can't get into the admin script and screw things up.

...

I'd recommend at worst a temp ban followed by a lengthy probation period. Skipping straight to a permanent ban would be going a bit far. I had a talk with him two days ago about his behaviour and he agreed to cool it so yeah something along the lines of probation seems appropriate to me.

I definitely wouldn't have him as a staff member right now mind you. Not exactly setting a good example.

...

Yes, I agree that he really doesnt deserve a perma-ban. I generally dont think of him as a troll.

...

I've always felt that ubuu has pushed limits way too much to be allowed. I'll all for a permanent ban (or a temporary one, if we have to be nice...)

I think SAJN should be banned, too. Being an insufferable moron should be against the rules.

...

There should be some way of banning people so that they don't realise that they've been banned, and so, can't complain about it. Like ninja-banning or something...

I don't really see any reasons to permaban ubuu, just excuses. I think that a temp ban (to get the point accross) followed by a prohibition period might work, though.

...

Given that I would name half of the people who signed that as the most irritating community members and the other half as the most eccentric... actually i'm not sure what my point was. I'm sure it was witty though.

...

I understand what you mean, [Name Removed]. What intrests me is that jEDIkIRBY hasn't signed, and he loves to hate ubuu. Is this because he either:
a) Wants to get along
b) Didn't know about the petition
c) Is too afraid to put his name to any contreversial scheme.

...

I concur with my colleague [Name Removed]. and don't ban ubuu.

PS i hate everyone on that list

Except gris (I also love forum spam)

...

Hmmm, whilst I don't see any real reason for ubuu, he *does* have a habit of antagonising people, and whilst other people may find this funny, it can be an unpleasant experience for the person he is antogonising, and I thought it was the duty of forum administrators to make the forums a more pleasant place to be for everyone.

...

Also, has ANYONE noticed that all these posts are from January and Februray?

...

My my, they had to dig a bit didn't they.

...

I told correction to get back to us when he had more evidence.

...

I originally told them if they got 3 or 4 signatuers with a good explanation, I was positive that ubuu would be banned. I was expecting better from them....

...

That was probably a bad call to make, [Name Removed]. I say, if they make a public petition which ubuu himself can see, and see who has "voted him out", then maybe we should consider it. If ubuu had done something truly banworthy, then wouldn't he be banned already, eh?

...

Yay, [Name Removed]'s an Admin now! I was actually just about to make a post suggesting it, and then I noticed.

I think if a majority of the Admins corners him and explains to him that he should consider himself on very thin ice, he may get the point.

...
</font>


As you can see, the subject of banning ubuu was actually discussed, and the general consensus was that he shouldn't be banned.

Stay tuned for Subjects 2 and 3.

Subject 2: The Cessation of the Vendetta

SAJN, you have posted numerous times about ubuu, why he's annoying, why he should be banned, etc. Personally, I think your complaints are more annoying than any of ubuu's behavior. Therefore, I've decided (and I have some other admins' backing on this) you will end your personal vendetta against ubuu. The next time you try to start something like this again, it will definitely be the last.


Subject 3: Why can't we all just get along?

Ubuu, you have been better recently, but it's undeniable that you have been rude in the past and have occaisionally attacked other members. This will end. We will be more strict in the future about enforcing the rules, so nothing like this will happen again. Because, quite frankly, this whole debate is pointless and annoying.

This goes for you too, SAJN. You also have a history of being annoying, irritible, and irrelevant. This needs to be remedied.

Please remember, everyone, that this board is not part of any country. You don't have freedom of speech. You don't have any rights at all. The admins reserve the ability to deal out punishment or nonpunishment as they see fit. On the serious issues we discuss the matter fairly maturely, as you have seen.

Also remember that this board is an on-line community. If you get really worked up about something as trivial as this, you really need to get your priorities straight, and get some friends or a woman or something...

[On a side note, I had to look up four words for this post. That's a personal record for me.]

Isn't it interesting to note that when Sajn brings up these admin topics, several other people feel the need to make similar topics making fun of him?

I think I've told you before to cool it, ubuu. But if I haven't, my apologies.

As for your admin password, I guess we all assumed Brian would tell you, since he was the one to change it. Sorry.
