Author Topic: Does the ID verification system mean a second chance for banned members?  (Read 5913 times)

Recently I was on a server and a long time friend of mine who's name I will keep confidential asked me to make this topic.

This person has been perma banned for over 3 years ago. The original ban was something along the lines of recopying a quote multiple times. I do not know exact details. Anyway, he noticed that Iban, a previously banned member, was able to register a new account due to the key verification. Despite blatantly being a banned member, Iban has been allowed to remain a member of the forums due to the fact that he actively contributes and causes no problems. I've also seen this with other members.

This member has told me he realized what he did wrong since his perma ban and he just wants to register again and become a positive contributor to the forums again. Though he does not want to make a new account if he knows it will not be allowed.

So my question to you Badspot and others, since this member was perma banned over 3 years ago and only wants to come back to contribute to the forums would he be allowed to have a second chance?

Technically, it does.

I think if they've changed, then it's alright. But if they haven't, they'll end up like before.
On that note, I wonder if Pandan is still around...

If that person truly has managed to resist the temptation to make an alt and has really been away from the forums for 3 years then I see no reason why they shouldn't be given a second chance.

The most awful members of the community rarely leave; they just reincarnate as "a whole different person".

Badspot let me back in, and i had made an alt before, so i dont see why your friend wouldn't be allowed

After a rather messy episode I was perma'd and refused alts. After two and a half years I was allowed access again it seems.

I think people should not get second chances.

Yeah, definitely. Especially people who pretend to be girls...

But what about the people who have actually changed, and matured, and actually contribute to the community now?

Yeah, definitely. Especially people who pretend to be girls...
lol owned so hard.
