Unbanning Crypto

[Pillz]

Forum Name: Peta/Crypto~

Who were you banned by: Cadaver

Why were you banned: 'Bigotry and Homophobia(?)'

Where were you banned from: Everything, IP Banned from forums

Additional comments:
Crypto's IP banned so he can't make this for himself so he asked me to see if he can at least come back to the forums, and I don't think he was ever genuinely homophobic either. I've seen him behave better than most of us in CG so I don't see why not let him appeal, he's not just a random player, he's been around for a LONG time and I'd like to have him back in CG if he wants to be.

I don't think he really deserved a permaban of any kind, and it's been quite a while. He doesn't really "troll" any worse than Raunky, Kwaurtz or whoever the fuck else has that sense of humour; I for one miss him, and would like to see him on the forums again given he follows the rules.

What does everyone else think? According to Cadaver's appeal thread the CLs/HA's must all agree separately on whether or not he is unbanned, majority vote wins so let's see what happens.

[Obviously not Gopib]

Please unban him.
He was funny and I believe that were being a touch to serious here with this type of shit so unbanning him would be a step in the right direction.
From what you can see from his previous posts, its not homophobia or bigotry its just joking around.

Lets give the man a break.
+1 for unban.

I have no personal experience with him. But considering it was just homophobia and bigotry we can look for it if he gets his unban. I say second chance so +1 for unban

[Red]

*shrugs* he was banned about a month or so after I joined the forums, something about April fools? I don't recall. I think he was just being a derp too be honest... Sure give him another chance.

+1 to unban.

[AlphaWeeaboo]

I think an unbanning is fine. He did have his moments but he was never truly bad enough to warrant a permaban.

Implying.


I mean I'm not a CL or HA(at least not anymore), so I guess my vote doesn't really count but I'd be all for him being unbanned.

[oobla37]

Didn't we already unban him in the past...

[Pyro]

Pretty sure he got banned after he said this:

-1, I don't think unbanning him will bring good to the community.

[oobla37]

Ah yes, that's what I'm thinking of. He's trolled in the past, he'll likely do it again.

A large NO from me.

[Kwaurtz]

Hes been permabanned multiple times though Pillz, I had it once. Hes been given multiple do-overs.

Yeah I didn't think he was permabanned twice, that does complicate things a bit but I don't really agree with the length of his bans..

The last thread that got him banned was an aprils fools day thread, everyone was being an april fool and trolling. Dante threatened to gut someone if they didnt shut up, other people were telling each other to shut the fuck up, and it was all hardly even funny so Crypto just comes in and fully abuses the context of the thread. He's been banned for 8 months now for something that hardly even warrants a year ban so IF he can continue to be orderly and not do anything like that it isn't even an issue. On the regular he's not disorderly enough to keep banned forever, and as much as we let a lot of CG speak their mind, I think we can handle another single persons opinion.

Fine, if you unban Crypto, then we rally under this flag again!




Also, hes been perma-banned THREE times now.

[Leetgrain]

Sorry, but a no from me, he's always been a troll and very confrontational on the forums. Having that now wouldn't be a good thing.

-1

And yeah, he's had multiple bans, both server and forums.

[otterfiend]

Crypto has always been a bit of a tricky subject. He does troll, but for the most part it is harmless. I don't know about all of the details of every ban, but his ban for homophobia is unwarranted though, or at least I feel it is. I'm going to pull out my sexuality card here to make a point. As a bisexual male, I found his posts to be humorous. This one in particular was worded as a perfect parody of someone with no grasp of the concept of equal rights.

As for the being confrontational/trolling thing: Kwuartz does that all the time, and clearly he gets away with it. In fact, I believe he told me via teamspeak, that he "gets things done" that way.
I'll bet most of us have been confrontational about issues on the forums at one point or another.

Anywho, that's a +1 from me. He's a fun guy to have in game, and he's harmless.

[Finniespin]

Guess I am to late to say nope.
