[19:30:02] <Weregoose> Send a PM to one of the staff and we'll review it.
[19:33:00] <MetalRandomist> I can't.  I'm looking for the message center and it's not there...
[19:35:13] <Weregoose> Okay, I'll make it known that you want to be unbanned. Anything in your defense you'd like to say here would be helpful.
[19:35:59] <MetalRandomist> Well... I wouldn't know what else to say besides that I'll keep my avatar and signature people-frienly now...
Since he hasn't received a suspension yet (we'll learn from that), I say
we call this like one and give him one final chance to participate again.

Fair enough. He'll probably shape up now that he has his own project topic to maintain.

The old account is in shambles, but it's the one that should be restored of the two.

As he was logged on making things convenient, and there seems to be agreement on this issue, I unbanned him, and sent him this PM:

You are about to be unbanned. I suggest you look at this as an opportunity to redeem yourself and act better in the future.

It might be of interest to you that forum rule #6 has been updated to forbid all profanity in user's signatures.

Do we restore his warn level back to 0% from 75%? I don't think we do.

..isn't his name supposed to stop showing up in red at some point?

I was wondering about that. And I haven't seen him post in the past two days.

Maybe we can lower the warning to 50 or 25. Enough to say "this is a new chance but not a clean slate."

He's posted in that he's submitted programs to the archives, which show up as posts by him - I haven't seen him make regular posts either.

I warned Demon for linking to a .zip file containing ROMs in a recent post of his.

His warning level has reached 100%.

I'm prepared to send him this PM when he gets banned:
Weregoose wrote:
Message Title: Illegal ROMs, Forum Ban

Distribution of ROM files is illegal, and therefore prohibited in these forums. Because you were already given your last chance before this, you are hereby banned from United-TI. Hastily making poor choices instead of asking moderators or staff members for approval has led to this. Good luck in your endeavors elsewhere.

–Weregoose

If other people see "Banned" as Demon's member title next to his post, then it should make the message loud and clear that we do not permit this. Furthermore, I'm all for supplementing the Terms and Conditions accordingly: "You are not allowed to discuss extremely offensive topics such as but not limited to Illegal Activities (which includes furnishing illegal ROMs through the forums), … etc."

We'll try again at 120%, I guess.

Personally, I don't really care at all that distributing ROM's is illegal. As long as we protect UTI by officially warning him and removing it, we're fine. Ban him if you want for not paying closer attention when he had such a high warning. There's no conflict of interest involved, so there's no need for a second opinion from another staff member.

Put simply: I can't ban. But I thought I should post that it happened, regardless.

Considering that we've already let it go for several days, I think we don't have to ban him, especially given that

  • distributing ROMs isn't that serious an offense
  • we were going to lower his warning from 75% before banning him, but didn't
  • he does write good programs
However, the next time he does anything, whoever notices it should go ahead and suspend his posting ability after warning him, and send him the PM (or even better) as though he's been banned - whoever notices it with banning capability will do so immediately.

Also, I updated the terms and conditions.
