Now before I request this might I say I do this because Nobot is a great friend, and if theres any rule against requesting people to be unbanned I rescind my actions. I checked the forum rules, and I don't think I am breaking any by posting this, but again if i am, my most sincere apologies are given.
Forum Rules:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=2856.0Reason Bot (Blockland name: Nobot) was banned: Made a Post about leaving the forums.
Now theres a few other reasons that he should be unbanned other than just it seems plainly logical that he is. He's a good friend and I've in the past requested him to post on a few of my topics then he reminds me he can't because he is banned. Now this is quite vexatious because because I feel if someone is a active blockland player and desires to be a part of the community he/she deserves that right. I understand that there are rules and they aren't to be meddled with and as I'm reading over the rules I have now come to a understanding that he did in fact break a rule.
Rule 5. Do not plea for sympathy
- Do not make posts about how you are leaving the forums. Just leave.
Now while I fully understand why this is a rule and that going against Forum Moderators/Admins is a bad I idea, I'm going to try.
Don't you think someone should let other people know when they're going to be gone, when you move away to another country you usually tell your friends, otherwise they'll try to contact you and be like where the F**k is Jimmy? Now I know these are slightly different cases, but still, someone should still be allowed to let others know when its going to be useless to PM them.
Now don't get me wrong I know that everyone hates Attention/Drama Queens but you can leave the forums without doing that. If your going to make a post about it, be sensible and mature about it, don't say "I'm going to be gone..... FOREVER (Now respond saying nooooooo)" Maybe consider "just letting everyone know, if you try to contact me anytime in the future, don't waste your time, I'm going discontinue playing this great game, I'm too addicted to it." Now while I think that's a better route I don't in fact think its the best, the best thing to do in my opinion would be to set your signature to something about you no longer playing, that way when someones on your profile they can go, oh thats why this persons on converting songs for anyone anymore or w/e.
Keep in mind I'm not trying to convince anyone to change that rule, I think its a darn good rule. I don't quite think someone should get banned for it (maybe lock the post or delete the post) but hey if their quitting why does it matter. Thing is like in "Bot"s case he came back to playing Blockland, he plays it all the time, just today his server was up with about 15 people there, also he's a active user on RTB, so he's defiantly active in the community well as much of it as he can be that is. Now I told him I was going to try to come here and get him unbanned, but I also told him its unlikely because I bet it most likely is unlikely. When I told him this he said that would be awesome, he would love to once again be a part of the forums, I told him if he was allowed back in the forums he would have to make sure to read the rules, because lets face it, how many of use actually read the rules? Or maybe most of us did when we became a member but I doubt for all of those that did, remember all of those rules, I know I sure didn't I became a member back in July 03, 2009, and thats on this Account, my last forums account, "White Tiger" became a member in July 04, 2008. Now I know just because he didn't know the rule doesn't mean he's not at fault but doesn't he deserve a second chance? Like I always say Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
Please Consider this not only would I appreciate it I know he would very much too.
