As most of you know, I was banned from the chat for a month for flagging Temporarily9 whilst he was using his Cloudbrowse application. He didn't like that, and so I've been banned. It has been a week or so, and I' would like to repeal the ban, or at least shorten it.
A month's ban for something as silly as this is a bit harsh, I'm sure most of you would agree. I am requesting this ban on a promise that I will no longer be such of a complete asshole and otherwise troll on chat.
Many thanks, Dhoom.

It was hardly just for that reason. It was for the fact that the biggest repeat-offender on the forum (no, really, you have the most bans) somehow still hadn't learned his lesson and felt he was entitled to continue in his actions. If Kurai can get banned for a month for events over a few days, you sure can for events over your entire forum career.

One month did wonders for Kuraikiba, and we hope, although cautiously, that one month will do good for you too...

Well, since the Chat Ban Appeal board was my idea, my opinion counts. So my decision is:
BAN APPEAL DENIED

Sparkpowder, you really need to stop acting like a moderator.

Well, since the Chat Ban Appeal board was my idea, my opinion counts. Correction: since you are a forum member, your opinion counts. Having come up with the idea has nothing to do with whether or not your opinion counts. Also, not even my opinion alone can determine whether or not someone gets banned, and I'm the owner of the forum; with that in mind, who would be able to have the final say in whether or not someone gets banned or not? |

Very well, but might I prompt you for the reason that Dhoom should be unbanned?

Allow me to provide my opinion on the matter:
As far as I believe, flagging a user (especially a staff member's account) on the chat so they might be restricted is a serious offense, but I do not believe it is worthy of a ban lasting longer than a week. You must take into consideration that Dhoom could not have done this alone. Rather, other users participated as well.
In addition, I feel that in a sense Dhoom is part of the community that keeps the chat interesting. He is almost like what users Artik and BladeoftheListo were before they departed...

As Temporarily9 has stated, the month is not merely for flagging: that would be like using an AT-AT to get rid of weeds poking up out of the lawn. The month is instead for all of his offenses collectively, since past punishments seem to have been ineffective.
...and by "interesting" and comparing him to Artik and BladeoftheListo, what are you trying to imply?

Leave it to Veers to make a Star wars reference...
On topic, I would agree with Qwerty, as he has, in fact, been banned more than any TWO people combined. This clearly shows he doesn't learn his lesson. If I remember correctly, I had no previous chatbans or forum bans to earn my month, yet Dhoom is the worst repeat offender. However, I can also say that my month was beneficial, and led to me becoming a much better member. I feel a month could do some good for Dhoom's attitude.

A list is necessary?
I mean, I know you have the right to know, but don't you know already? Aren't the times he has spammed, trolled, trolled more, once posted pornography, and trolled even more enough? If not, I guess I can pull some specific examples directly from the Ban Board...

Woah, wait... I thought posting porn meant a permaban? How is he still allowed on?

That instance may have been from the old forum, in which case the warnings and bans didn't transfer. No warnings or bans for anyone transferred as the forum changed URLs and administration: everyone started out with a tabula rasa...

I see, well then I guess that it is fair punishment. I apologize for my ignorance.

Correction: He has had a ban for posting pornography on here. He has had ten bans, more than any other by far, and just a few of his many offenses are:
Unjust flagbanning, trolling (most common one), flaming, extreme cursing, posting pornography, racism, and ban evasion.
No one has been given more chances, no one has commited more infractions. I combed through the ban board, and his total number of charges is nearly uncountable. The only thing higher is his amount of warnings. Given the extremity of his extensive "Rap sheet", I question why he is even given more chances.

Ten bans thus far recorded here, at least, and I record them when they are an hour or greater. Who knows how many on the old forum.

First of all, if you're going to present your view here, do it in a neutral manner. Second of all, yes, dhoom deserves a 1-month ban for attempting to disable a staff member's account, and third of all I have talked with him on the matter and he is indeed ready to come back clean (or, rather, cleaner than before).

Sorry for the delay, but He isn't as bad as Artik or Priok, flagging some one should not be 1 month ban worthy, if we have a mod thats flagged and he bans some one for a month we should all be treated the same way for getting flagged for no apperent reason. But as I said, Its not a one month ban worth offence.

Somehow people are thinking the month is for the flagging. I don't know why.

For pirating. It's illegal. The punishment is a permaban. We could get i trouble for it, even, heck, shut down.

No, Glove. I explained this to you, remember? The FBI does not care about which page is embedded in which. They care about who is legally responsible. In this case, the legally responsible one would be Chatango (whole thing, not just our one chat), which is completely disconnected from Proboards. Legally speaking it would have nothing to do with the forum.
