Can we unban kirkle? (100% serious)

I haven't really talked to him too much since all that **** went down but recently we've been chatting and he seems to have matured a lot. He's been offering super cheap keyboard services to people on reddit and told me about all the DIY stuff he's got planned and it sounds pretty exciting. Most importantly of all he's said he misses GH and I'm sure he'd like to share some stuff with us.

thanks

I miss kirkle

I always remember the time we skyped and he went to bed and I faintly could see his outline in the dark. Once he was sleeping I hung up. I miss times like those. RIP DONG SQUAD

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I don't see why someone can't have a 2nd chance on a trial basis.

I do, however, caution against any major amount of items being sent to someone who was banned or allowing them to run group buys or anything like that.

I don't know him well, so that is just a general suggestion.

Well because he still broke the forum rules repeatedly and didn't slow down or stop, despite many warnings and a few temp bans to get the point across.  I miss him on a personal level - I like to think we were decent friends, and it sucks to have to do that to a friend.  But when it happened, there really wasn't another option aside from turning a blind eye, which would of course be favoritism and not desired at all. 

So, all that said, we come to the point of the thread - unbanning a permabanned member.  There is currently no precedent for this, which I think is why it's never been done before.  Letting one person back begs the same question for basically every other banned member, and at the moment I'm not sure the best way to handle that. 

Personally, I miss both kirkle and moose back when there was no trolling and only helpful answers and cool projects.  They were fun people that brought some great personality to the forum.  The fact that there was a long period of positive involvement before the ban (ie, they didn't join solely to troll and subsequently were banned) leads me to lean toward giving a second chance.  But that's just me; the mod team will have to discuss the issue and come to a proper conclusion before any action can be taken.

Hope this helps; you're not being ignored.

Hope this helps; you're not being ignored.

I think there is a lot to discuss and the biggest issues will lie in coming up with a system for individual cases. I believe together we can evaluate any account on a case by case status. It could also mean reevaluating the current status for deleting accounts for people/banning upon request.

I also fall into the "I miss kirkle" camp, but I would love to see this discussed and a decision reached publicly. No bias should come into play of course.

Some anticipation should also be given to remarks on other keyboard forums about how impermanent a permaban is on GH.

Yes, we have a dangerous president.  And a dangerous precedent, too.

On a serious note, has any of this goodwill been on the boards?  So do we know how they will react when back on the boards?  I'd think to interview him (or something similar) to see if he actually has changed.  But hey, I'm not a mod...

If he made the choice to go down the route and get permanently banned, even when knowing the consequences, I can't see why we would want him back on the forum? Especially as he seems to continue to disregard the rules by making several alts (as far as I can tell). This is just my personal opinion. .

My opinion - trolls who repent should have a second chance. But those who cheated people's trust and money through a scam after a GB, these are the ones who should be perma-ban.

Maybe give them a custom tag or something along the lines of the stars. "Don't feed this troll" or "known scammer"

Not sure branding is the right way, just typing my thoughts.

I do like the idea of allowing some people back in some capacity to participate.

General forum drama amuses me more than it bothers me and I have also dodged a few scams so it's easier for me to vote for another chance.

What about those who break hearts?
