the straightforward approach leaves one with alot less explaining afterwards.  eh?

That, and current IRL circumstances have made me really fucking sick of bullshit. So yeah I'm power hungry (when I can be arsed) and yeah I'm one of the people that needs to be controlled and compensated for.

Nice points, Pyraxis.

I+You for your efforts.

and, we don't ban, so what influence can any one person have.

besides the cult of personality coming from the strongest posters.

Atomika was IP banned.

I don't have the time or energy to project my personality strongly enough to cause any serious damage to this site.
atomika was not a member.

Ah, okay. Point taken.

So are you saying that if Atomika were a member, you would not have been in favor of banning him/her?

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Atomika's only purpose was to cause harm to this site. He wasn't (and isn't, and can't be, just yet, because he's 14) a member so an IP ban was warranted in pretty much the same way we'd IP ban a spambot if one was flooding the place. Which, btw, *is* pretty much what happened.

That said, I was still hesitant to act, wanting a vote on it first. Dunc got there faster than I did, probably because I also wanted to await his opinion.

There's always a risk that someone tries to take over, but there's really very little we can do to eliminate the risk completely. We have two web monkeys, we have a semi-permanent admin that is the very definition of integrity and honesty, if you ask me, and we have rotating short-term admins.

The risk was a lot higher a year ago, by the way.

I know I would have hesitated. We would have been forced to do something, eventually, but not necessarily ban him. He is 14, however, so the adults only rule would have been the one to act on.

not as ready.


but we are talking about a power grab here, are we not?
even if a lowly member were to act as this punk did all over the boards, wouldn't that be a form of power grab?  shouldn't something be done to stop it?


we have members who spam here all the time.  and i don't see a problem with it.  but if someones sole purpose is to screw up the board and the enjoyment of all the other members....do we really have a choice?

Did I miss something, or do we actually have
knowledge of his age? I was speculating that
it had to be close to that, but don't remember
seeing anyone who had much more information.
