I was directly responding to a message talking about dramatics. Of course I am attempting to dispel the idea of dramatics.It strikes me as odd that one would downplay the significance of a ban so much yet likewise act as if it is a big deal if we revoke it on some condition. You are right, these are not real incarcerations, and likewise nobody will die if we take a chance on letting someone prove themselves. Worst-case scenario we just ban them again after some mild annoyance.
First of all, focusing on the very first word you used, "bluntly". To be blunt, you need to actually name the subject of which you are speaking of. If this is in reference to me or any other individual, you are being vague. And I think it would be appreciated if that was clear here.Bluntly, many of these hard-lines being taken recently against appeals have a tone which may suggest personal bias.
Certain people, like Bambu, I respect had the maturity to admit that was a possibility.
Others, I feel, may be unfairly accusing the rest of staff of having poor judgement for not sharing their feelings.
In any case, I will clarify further: I do not care in the slightest bit about the user in question. I have no animosity toward them as compared to any other individual on the wiki. I had little personal contact with them even back when they were active before. However, I do see this as a manifestation of a worrying trend of us giving more and more leeway to individuals that have proven themselves unreliable in the past. That, I do care about.
My choice of wording was perhaps not the best, but the idea was to convey that the wiki is not a place that should be regarded with the greatest degree of seriousness a majority of the time. Its impact on people's lives should ultimate also be taken with a grain of salt. Perhaps "silly" would have served better.Mercy is often fair. It is about what our rules are. I don't care whether you think the wiki is stupid or not.
Has both not been half a decade yet and also had an active sock in 2024, less than two years ago. This statement is false, and you can easily check as such by seeing the link I posted.I'm not. I'm framing this as a dude that's been banned for half a decade and wants to come back.
I will resume hunting for anything relevant then, but I can see this is going nowhere. This is an unfortunate turn of events, but I have no excuses for the tardiness of my response. I concede for the time being.As for the images: all of them are exceptionally old, which I take as a poor indicator for whether a user has changed. It's 2026. Three of them say 2022, and the one that says "today" is very old. I recognize your profile picture there. I have not seen it in some time. We already know he did a lot of shitty things in 2022. I will ask you if you are aware of evidence that would suggest bad actions from GodlyCharmander recently. I would like to know if there's something in the last, say, year and a half, as that would be more relevant, to me, if I were to make a re-judgment on the case.
