He is going to be under such a microscope and any little thing he does is gonna be overblown and bans are gonna be called for immediately. I don't know why he would even bother coming back honestly but that's obviously his choice. He's gonna basically have to morph into s_k and be super smiley to survive more than a few weeks once he's back which I doubt is gonna happen.

I voted to have him back. Cause I take this forum far less seriously than pretty much everyone. And I don't care if he says controversial things or starts discussions that turn into arguments. It's the internet and I don't get riled up over stuff like that. And unlike myself he seemed to actually be a pretty huge contributor to some music sections. As for the mods, I doubt it would cause them much trouble to have boo boo back. Delete a few posts, oh my! But it's pretty clear they don't want him back anyways. A one year ban is stupid in my opinion anyways, and excessive,

Exactly. Most members don't see anything that offenders do wrong, because the mods are all over it and it's gone and dealt with before the vast majority can see it. Then when the offender finally pushes it too far and they get banned, it's because the mods overeacted.

I can't even believe we are still discussing this. Not even Captain Caveman got as many chances from the mods here as Boo did to just stop offending people and pissing people off.

That's because the mods have inside information that the regular members don't have. It's always like this. I'm a mod myself. I've banned people (I only do permanent bans) who really really ****ed up. As in threatening members via the telephone, theft and so on. You still hear, every ****ing time, that you shouldn't have banned them.
Regular members most of the time just don't know the entire story because they never had problems with the banned person.

His actions would not be blown out of proportion. He really does create his own downfall.

Boo boo banned about 50% of the member list when he was a mod here, leaving everyone else to have to undertake the task of righting his wrongs. It isn't just a case of having to "ban a few posts" of his, he can't help but self-destruct here, and thats why he should serve his year ban and be thankfull it was only a year. It very nearly wasn't.

Can I ask why you allowed hip hop bunny hop to stick around after the thread he posted on skrewdriver? Kind of seems ridiculious.

Without wanting to seem like a mod-wannabe, I'm pretty sure your answer is going to be roughly "The mod team takes action as it deems it appropriate at the time, however this thread is not an open invitation to suggest instituting new bans of current members. If a member is breaking the rules, use the report post button rather than bringing it up in public. Its more efficient and causes less problems."
