You were both blatantly claiming Cca is still a nice person and actively being irritating.

You perma'd him, you act no diffrent than furdle

[Taboo]

Why wouldn't he have permanently banned him? If he didn't want him around now, why would he ever want him around?

Well, I did go back into Xalos' server today and he apologized to me, so ye.

Still doesn't excuse him for banning you on suspicion. :V

What an ass.

Teach a lesson exclusively means to engage in an assholic act to try to dissuade undesirable behavior. The phrase does not mean to explain something to someone unless you're referring to someone who's already been established as a teacher.

"teaching a lesson" to someone who is giving out free admin therefore means engaging in acts of starfishry to try to make them not want to give admin out freely again in future. It means to clear their bricks and the bricks of others, to change their environment settings to try to give them headaches or potentially migraines, or banning hundreds of thousands of users to give their server a bad name.


The phrase "teaching a lesson to some idiotic server host who was giving free admin to anybody" therefore means that you have found someone who believes that human beings are basically decent and good creatures, and you are actively deciding not to disagree with them, but to instead stomp on their ideology, shove a stuff down their throat, and smash their head open with a sledgehammer.



There is nothing good about "teaching a lesson" to someone who believes humans are basically decent. A person who engages in such acts of starfishry is someone I do not want on my server.

That isn't how justice works. If you start arresting innocents, you begin to look like a dictator.

In the case of this, it just makes you look like an ass.

Group punishment may be effective, but on an online game, it's not very effective at all.

He wasn't innocent though. He was going to go attack a server that has nothing but good intentions. Xalos clearly states there that he doesn't want people like that on his server. It's a totally justified ban.

I'm rereading the op over and over again and I see no grounds for a random ban.

Xalos was going off of pure assumption and suspicion.

Either way, you just don't ban someone who hasn't done anything malicious to the server just to circumvent others being malicious.

Would you like to be banned from your favorite server because the host wanted to make a point? Even though you did nothing wrong?
