Clarification on who is perma'ed and who isn't.

[Milbunk]

Oh please it's not like it's impossible, it's quite clear he loved her even though he wasn't good at showing it, case in point when he fought Archer when he didn't have to.

Also he's just as empty as Shirou is, the possibility is quite likely.

[Kyte]

Lol

[Milbunk]

Laugh all you want you can't deny the truth that is right in front of you.

[Kyte]

Look, I'll make it simple.
Kuzuki is not Shirou.

[Milbunk]

Of course he's not he's Kuzuki.

And if the point you're trying to go with is that Kuzuki wouldn't be the kinda person to go on a quest to find Medea, then I highly doubt he wouldn't.

[SeiKeo]

I think we miscalculated when we glibly said Shirou was the self-insertion subject.

[Milbunk]

I don't think I know many people who were raised by a Secret Assassination group, and have no emotion whatsoever.

You are officially the worst character judge on the planet. Milbunk, the KY King, can't read an atmosphere even when it's literally written down.

[Milbunk]

KY?

[Kyte]

Japanese meme for "can't read the atmosphere".

[Milbunk]

Huh, well regardless like I said I do think Kuzuki is the type of person to do that kind of thing, it might not be in the exact way or time frame but I could totally see him doing something like it. (It's a shame we only see his coolness in one of the routes.)

[Dark Pulse]

And since some very special children like to keep coming up with ways to put "Banned" (nice way, Kyte), I've now done something I know they can't duplicate.

Best of luck, fuckers!

Among the good qualities of a moderator: diplomacy, professionalism, concealing iron fists in velvet gloves.

Not among the good qualities of a moderator: well, I think "I've now done something I know they can't duplicate. Best of luck, fuckers!" just about sums it up.


Seriously, do I have to explain why this is a bad idea? Let's start at "we are now punishing you for something we didn't punish you for previously". It's bad, but it could be worked through with some tact and decent explanations. The joke is a bit pointless, though I still don't think it'll ever be harmful. That needn't be damaging. But, as one in power, you do not challenge people under you to break your rules for so many reasons. And in this case, we can add that you've admitted you aren't up to Kyte's standards on the Web, so I can see there definitely being a chance for him to go ahead and actually break your rules in addition.

^ Shit, and here we see my point made. Doubly so since Kyte was quite able to do it.

Nope. You're missing something.

Try again.

Ah, but you can tell he's not banned still.

Banned users have something extra he does not.

[Kyte]

Wait there's a difference?
Oh I see they now have red strikethrough. Kinda obnoxious to see but it's actually a non-retarded way to show bans! Congratulations, you've actually used your brain for once!

[Dark Pulse]

There is now.

[Seika]

Ah, but you can tell he's not banned still.

Yes, yes, fine. Still not the thrust of the argument.

Wait there's a difference?

You were also shown as online which banned people aren't, though I don't know if that was something you'd just disregarded.

[Dark Pulse]

Wasn't that. (And yes, banned people can show they're online if they're actually attempting to use the site, so that's not a valid marker anyway.)

As he pointed out, what I did was make banned users (whether temporary or permanent - again, there is no way to differentiate the two that I know of as not even vBulletin differentiates them) red and struckthrough. There is no way for a normal user to duplicate this and have it server-side short of basically hacking the site.

The "Banned" party is, for all intents and purposes, over.

[Kyte]

Well like I said you finally decided to stop being stupid and implement an actual workable solution so I'm happy.
