My friends I am not out trying to be some power hungry jerk. I have done all I can to make chat a place people can come and let out their frustrations and or just have fun. Since taking over the all the forums The team I have placed in charge of each of them have been the best people for the jobs. We have had very minimal problems and it would seem "most" of the time all the rules are followed and everyone enjoys the way things are set up now.
Still Once in a wile things do get out of hand and it is when this happens that the mods and my self have to step in and make hard choices we never want to have to make. At the end of the day the last thing I wish for is
less good bros around the site. The last thing I want is to lose members everyone is friends with and likes. At the same time at some point A line must be drawn in the sand for some members. Often it is the members who are completely unwilling to compromise and make things work for both them and the leadership of the site.
It is these few members who I fear will most likely never be coming back to the site. They have a mind set and they are unwilling to change it despite every effort on my part and the part of all leadership. Be it through means of peace or even enforcing the rules these members have shown me and others they will not change and in doing so will corrupt as many members as they can in the process. Samoth, Strongbow, Miplank, Smurf2 have all been let back into the community because each one of them have redeeming qualities and have shown they are willing to compromise and understand why things are the way they are. Everyone knows I hold nothing
against anyone and for the people who are still gone now I would give anyone of them a chance to come back And be a part of this site. So long as they are willing to work with us and let the drama go. So if there is some one who is left on the ban list who has not been let back and you wish them to be back. Then talk to that person. Encourage them and explain to them that nether I nor any leader of this site is out to get anyone even if they have attacked us a hundred times over.
I feel anything can be forgiven. As long as the offender is also willing to put everything in the past and move forward. But I can not allow the same people to make the same attacks over and over again. Knowing in my heart they will never stop, never change, never agree to compromise. It is these very very few people who are the only ones who ever end up perma banned from this site. Thank you guys and have a great week.
