Is GAF too strict?

Squiddy, I feel like I am having deja vu with you thinking Wario64 was banned when he wasn't.



*shrugs*

We can have it now!

Bans are not instigated. I think the simplest way to put it is: Correlation does not imply causation.

If someone posts something dumb, and several posters say that they'll enjoy that person being banned, it might increase the likelihood of a moderator catching the post, but it is unrelated to the decision itself. We do not ban on popular vote, because someone said something unpopular, because of ban cheering, or by personal request (e.g. If someone PMs me or sends me a message on IRC or AIM). If you've been misunderstood, just clarify. As other posters have said - and I can attest to in my own experience - legitimate misunderstandings happen and it is easy to get people off your case by admitting an error or clarifying a misunderstanding or simply apologizing for the offense and dropping it. It's not difficult, really. And while it's not a guarantee, I can say that I have been ready to ban someone when they did one of those things and changed my mind because of it. There's a lot to be said for ending something graciously.

That's what I said a couple pages ago.

And still only about half way through the posts.. i'm so sorry.

I feel like jack the ripper.
 
Exactly what I expected. I guess Dennis was right about the megabans still being here. I'm going to stop posting for a while because nothing really has changed and I don't feel safe here. Off to /v/.
 
I hope bish makes a YouTube of him doing the bannings with a backing track of let the bodies hit the floor on maximum volume

Seriously though its good that he's done it this way so people can see what not to do

Uh what? Don't post like an idiot and you'll be fine. What's so hard about that?
