That's my point exactly. By banning me for "being annoying" or whatever the fuck the "reason" was, Lucid denies the members the opportunity to shape the forum themselves. She's just being overprotective. This lessens the forum I think.

Lucid could surprise everyone and do something very unusual. She could admit that she overreacted. This is a rare and beautiful thing when it happens, a thing which inspires respect.

Lucid would gain so much from such a brave action.

Technically having a bold lie about an alt should be grounds for bannation.

'The first time I did nothing wrong and you reinstated me when you understood that I wasn't an alt.'


You obviously were posting with an alt if (y) was created in 06. How many other names do you have?

I don't care all too much. Admittedly, permaban was probably a bit excessive, but you were most assuredly going to wind up permabanned anyways. The quickest way between two points is a straight line.

Well, that is that I suppose. There has certainly been a pattern of behavior that could be interpreted as trolling - but that doesn't bother me much, to be honest. Most of the posts around here lately are just so boring... Ed G's may have crossed the line at times but they were more entertaining to read than most in my opinion.

There could very well be things that I'm not aware of, so I'll reserve judgment as to whether or not it was the right decision. But from a purely selfish standpoint, I find the ban a little disappointing, particularly considering how many people here's contributions amount to glorified spam - a fact which seems to never amount to one whit of action from any moderator until it gets absurdly out of control...

I told Lucid that I had originaly registered as (y). I didn't know that you could request a name change so when I was ready to post I re-registered.

I won't re-register again.

I don't care all too much either, I'm just interested in human behavior so I'm using this remaining time on TA to discuss.

I would not have broken any "real" rules in the future. If I was destined to be permabanned it's because I play the edge. A forum with no edge is boring and will probably decline.

There is no issue that I'm hiding Arbiter. If there was it would have been included in Lucids list of "offenses".

On many forums I've seen, regulars or older members will always get away with more than new members. Even on those strict forums that frown on 3-letter replies, and single emoticon posts. It's just human nature, I guess.

You can't say that the COR is the only forum to work this way, that simply isn't true. If you have any common sense, it should be obvious that more is expected out of newer members before they get accepted. You have to follow the 'rules' for quite some time before you can break them.

You're saying your posting skills are comparable to Tiesto's self-proclaimed mixing skills? I, for one, refuse to believe this.

ok, maybe I do.
