If im remembering correctly, Koko was banned for getting CMP by sly means, and fucking the economy by giving numerous people diamond, diamond armor and tools in 1.8, was then banned, unbanned due to coercion, (by me if not mistaken, when i was still a newb staff member) and then was caught either Xraying, or hacking for stacks of diamonds that were then taken, he was still forgiven for that, and then ultimatly banned again during 1.2.
Then there is Homer, who did so much that he was given this final ultimatum by me earlier this year, where he has not been banned since. Yeah he hasn’t been here often, but he hasn’t been banned either.
Hard has fucked up im not even sure how many times, has crashed the server with WE, demoted for the Mrcoconut BS, has harrased a group of griefer/haxers/ddos attackers in Classic last year, and by God, Hard is still here and kicking, and even promoted back to Op.
I personally have raged, been banned for swearing, demoted for banning Brodur, and again, im still here.
Bottom line is, People fuck up, it is up to us to forget and forgive, and if they fuck up again, that is when people get the boot the final time.
Im going to leave this up a bit more, so Spec, _andy, and Kyle can get a vote in. Then im closing it. If it is more for than against, we will unban and vice versa. If it is another stalemate like it was this morning, I will lock it, and take the voting to the Admin board for the Super Sudden Death fight for Ggg’s soul. =)
