Can you explain me please why GuybrushX mcmurphy and Argos have been banned for 2 weeks (until 1st July 2009) instead of 1 week??

In the rules it says this:



When they do the latter and continued to disobey the rules, why were they banned for two weeks each and not for one week each.

Can you explain this and do not make stupid excuses!

Good point.

Arbitrary rules applied arbitrarily.

This is like their 80th banning though so I think a longer banning is fair

think that the double penalty rule was applied as they tried to double team that thread.

and another question for THE EAGLE. Status?

Upcoming Steps:

-- Candidates reveal their rules (June 20th) > did this happen yesterday?
-- Townhall Meeting (June 21st) (Subject to change based on scheduling) > when is this happening?
-- Voting Begins (June 25th)
-- Voting Stops (July 5th) (Extended as I'll be out of town)
-- Winner Announced (July 6th or 7th)

NO, it is totally unfair because it says otherwise in the oh so precious and important and exakt rule (= ONE WEEK [also a very good short film by Buster Keaton!]) and, like snackhaar said, it's totally arbitrary, not only the rule itself but also the way it is enforced. Usually the ban lengths can change when it's at the admin's discreation to enforce them for some random """"""crime"""""", but in this case it is clearly stated.

Eagle's silence is very telling, he is probably ashamed but will never admit it, maybe only in phrases and lies afterwards as usual!

I think Eagle is probably exhausted by everyone calling him out for every little thing. What is next we start making threads about his choice in soda?

Anyway, while yes the rules should be followed I think it is clearly up to discretionary changes in times such as this when they have been banned numerous times over the course of the past year...

Yes, please keep making obviously, very obviously dimwitted excuses for a clear case of power abuse and admin/owner arbitraryness, just to reassure those in charge that their hearth will eat every stupid decision they will make in the future.

If Eagle is so stubborn and sure about having this particular rule, he should also enforce it in the way he himself meant it to be.
1. He should not preach that the rules are totally important and then suddenly change them, because it totally negates everything he said before about them and their importance.
2. You people like Jeff should NOT affirm and even excuse and EVEN DEFEND this behavior of power abuse because it makes you look stupid and it will also bring about more of such power abuse and more of such illogical lies and arbitraryness.
3. Banning Argos in particular for a longer amount of time is NOT a good decision when the person is himself running to be a moderator in the torrino regime. Also, he is a torrino voter, so keeping him out of business is distortion of competition, but of course this would not be the first time in the last week or so. And this being a minor point already says a LOT!

So you are in other words Argos.

Got it.

So you are not only a fascist but as well a liar, very nice, I hope you enjoy your delusion!

And you yours.

Which one would that be? Or was this just the initial, automated cliché reply that came to your miserly mind?

So far you have defended the most ridiculous behaviour for no reason and spread odd conspiracy theories and lies. Now please do yourself a favor and don't resort to infantile "counterattacks" such as that one.

Jef (not Costelo), no one likes you. Please return to your 'life'.

Sorry, just saw this thread.

They were banned for two weeks because I felt they would continue to distrupt the process upon their return.

Huh?

Responding to any posts or threads by Cabuche/Argos enables them to keep posting. Ignoring them until they can be permanently banned is the best strategy.

The oh so important and rigid and unchangable rules are spontaneously changed based on a feeling and silly assumptions, that's very admirable!

You suddenly thought that rule was flawed and therefore went against it to BAN Argos and Guybrushx for a longer time because they thought that rule was flawed and therefore went against it (by not disrupting the process at all, but only by disrupting your odd OCD ritual).

They were banned for their behavior, the length dictated only by their actions.

They were banned for their behavior, the length dictated only by a self-contradicting dictator's poor judgement and lack of social tactfulness.

Indeed. Now that you have been enlightened, there is no need for this thread to continue.
