Petition to unban GWG on GWGs request
« on: June 15, 2014, 11:50:24 am »

Petition list
~Imperial Guardsman
As we know, our friend, comrade, and overall good person GWG has been recently banned for fighting/lack of self control. I have my reasons to assume this is not entirely his fault and I see no reason to punish him so severely for it. I request that Toady give GWG a second chance when GWG is cooled down and ready to come back. Anyone who knows GWG IRL or over the internet or can contact him in any way please assist. I request anyone who wants GWG back to say that they agree and why and I will add their name to the petition list.
Anyone but dariush is allowed to post and sign the petition.
THERE WILL BE NO FIGHTING OR INSULTING OTHER FORUMITES. ALL RULES THAT APPLY TO THE FORUMS APPLY TO THIS THREAD. FIRST OFFENSE IS A WARNING AND REQUEST TO EDIT OUT. SECOND IS REMOVAL OF YOUR INPUT FROM POLL AND PETITION. THIRD IS A REQUEST TO TOADY TO SPEAK TO YOU.

I am against this. This just sets the precedent that people can be unpleasant dicks all they want as long as they're reasonably popular, and I've spent too much time in school do support that notion.

Plus, hasn't he been muted several times already? That seems like plenty of extra chances.

While GWG is GWG, he was given heaps of warnings and mutes for this same sort of thing, to no effect. Harsh action has to happen eventually, to maintain forum discipline.

You just called someone an unpleasant dick and claimed you broke no rule.

Darvi's post was quite relevant when someone was banned for being an unpleasant dick. Is his opinion not valid because you don't agree with it?

darvi put it 120% correct

That's not enough percents as to how correct he is.

I already said this once, but GWG was the most unpleasant and obnoxious player I've ever had the misfortune of playing with and played a large part in killing several games I was enjoying. I've never seen him apologize or even consider he was wrong in his behavior (even if he has, he's obviously done nothing to actually improve it).

I'm drawing the distinction between the pleasant and entertaining kind of dick (like half the mods on Urist McStation) and the kind of dick who gets banned because they genuinely can't behave. I'll have to apologise for this lack of clarification.

... Guardsman, serious question??

Why? I'd be willing to sign, but I need an honest, well thought out reason besides popularity. Specifically, what are these reasons?

(I like GWG, but, as Darvi said in slightly less polite words, I see no reason to unban him.)

Or maybe, like many people ( such as myself ) he genuinely didnt believe he was doing anything wrong and you didnt bother to tell him and instead grew to hate him more.

There is the massive possibility ( we have a sad thread with hundreds of posts for a reason ) that it wasnt just hurr i wanna be an ass today and more like I cant vent my anger anywhere / what that person said is so insensitive and horrible to me

As someone who has repeatedly explained calmly to GWG exactly what he was doing wrong and why he should stop and repeatedly had said advice ignored. No, just no. Unbanning a user should only occur in the event that something was genuinely not their fault like that time Descan got hacked.
