I, the member formally known as Sar who was banned in a terrible misunderstanding, have returned to reclaim my throne. I'd like to argue my piece before I'm banned again, so please wait until the discussion has concluded to take any sort of action against me. For those of you who don't recall, myself and the member Abel were determined to liven the mood and bring activity to these forums. We encouraged members to speak their minds and make the practical jokes we ourselves so enjoyed. However, our free spirited ways were frowned upon by the management of these fair forums. I understand why they did it, and most people would do the same in that situation. I do think that their crushing of some harmless jesting about was unnecessary and un-called for. However, I am willing to forgive and forget as long as they are, because the reason we were ultimatley banned was not because of something we did, but because of the actions of an enemy. To this day, we are unsure who did it, but someone at the forums Last[OCP], where at the time everyone had admin privilages, took out their anger with us by retrieving our password and entering it here, where we both use the same password as on LOCP and running amok with pornographic images. This is mine, and Abel's, interpretation of that evening's events. I don't think anyone will ever know for sure what really happened, but we can know one thing. The Bible says that when someone commits violence against you, one should turn the other cheek. If one wrongs you, you should forgive him. I forgive whoever it was that hacked my account, and I think you too should forgive whoever it was. If you unban that account, I vow to change the password both on here and on LOCP. How do you think you would look to other internet communities if you made peace with a (supposed) enemy? I think that nothing but good can come out of unbanning my account. Please. Deeply consider this. Thanks for your time and patiance. Hugs and kisses, - Sar

I will ask the staff about this and have them consider it.
I'm not exactly familiar with LOCP, but I have heard of them.

Your back? I thought the name was similar. Shouldn't this go in the introduction thing?

Well, it would have gone into the introduction part of the forum, but it also kinda belongs here b/c he's requesting the admins to help him by unlocking his old account..
Well, welcome back Sars! I hope everything goes okay this time around!

(Possibly) Welcome back, Sar. We are currently in discussion as to whether or not we should allow you back. I do notice that your story is consistent with what you told me through MSN, and that should be taken into account. We will let you know our decision.
I think I get the picture but don't we need some kind of proof that it wasn't you and Abel? Well, I don't know.
This is currently being discussed with the other staff. We will let you know pretty soon. Bear in mind that even if you're back, we'll have to ban this account and unban your original one. You may not know this already but multiple accounts are against the rules on this site.

Doesn't vBulletin list the IP Addresses of each post? If the IPs are very different than Sar's and Abel's normal IP range, then it couldn't have been them.
I say that even if it wasn't them posting the pictures, don't let them back. Remember all the flaming and stuff they posted?
i agree with you Kazekage-Gaara... i wouldn't let them back in Darkblade... i have nothing personal against Sar and Abel... but... i really don't like flamers...
It seems to be going that way anyway, but if we could have the input from the members who know these two, then that would prove beneficial to our decision.
I've noticed in my short stay that members here seem to be prone to dismissing others' actions as "flaming." I think it's interesting how people are so quick to judge!
What kind of input are you looking for?

Well, some people can't take a joke, or just take things more seriously, or simply do not appreciate being insulted, through joke or otherwise.
Input ... you know, "yes, they should" or "no, they shouldn't"

I do not know who this is or what happened very clearly, but, I say we give him/her a chance.
Isn't everyone who knows them going to say "Unban them"? What's the point in even asking? I thought you were looking for something more like "these guys don't have a history of posting pornographic images."
Everyone who knows them will say keep them banned. They flamed, insulted everyone they met, and posted disturbing pictures.
Quoted for emphasis.
If the majority of the forum members don't want them back, then it's almost pointless having them back because they'll probably get warned again until they get suspended, or they won't really get along well with the other members. It's not so much that they're flaming that they can't get along well with the other members. I can't imagine that it would be fun. The last thing a forum needs is for members who can't get along with each other. It could lead to flaming and some other nasty stuff.
I know these two members, and I can safely assure you that they'd never post anything of pornographic content on a forum that was opposed to it. I mod at a few forums they visit, I've known them for a while now. I know when they're joking around, and it's very rare that they aren't kidding. I've noticed from some of your posts that you seem to be offended by their flaming. They flame sometimes on my forums, but my fellow staffers and I on said forums have the capacity to recognise a joke. And all of the flames that I have seen these two members post were merely jokes. Seriously, you guys need to loosen up a little. If you can't take a couple of members swearing for a bit of fun, then I suggest you stay inside your house or get some councilling, because in the outside world, people swear frequently when joking around. And always remember this - it's only the internet.
