    Looks as though I'm about to be put away for some time.

    Sayonara, I guess, comrades in arms.


    I'll change my avatar so as to prevent further confusion before my summary expulsion... wait... no, I won't.

    rap

    We'll see about the "entire forum" bit, but I'm afraid that there is probably good reason to toss me out of SFOG.

    why dont you elaborate? are you confessing to a compulsion to rig elections? after all, the alleged warning by porfiry did nothing to deter you.

    are ban threads your first recourse towards resolving disputes?

    if yes to both, you should be tossed out of sfog.

    write something, rappacini. reassure the community that you intend to be a good citizen. a formal letter apologizing to all, will not be out of place.

    I'll miss his razor wit, but it's only a temp ban. He'll be back. Too bad he couldn't have just gotten banned while he was away.

    I don't blame Porfiry, the rules are the rules.

    He's probably the only reason why Xev retained her moderator position. She was well on her way to losing that poll before Rap came up with all those votes.

    As if she would ever have been removed from her moderator position.

    Uhh... that's not the vote in question, paul.

    It's the Pseudoscience Election.



    In that one, I created about nine new names, one of which was 'bybycrazy,' I believe.

    I figured it wasn't too reprehensible, getting to watch mikey go off the handle about the injustice and corruption of it all.
    I wasn't really too worried about these 'consequences.'




    I didn't even see his warning, which was a pm, until I was done.
    No... how many have I made, two or three?

    Don't you think, in the lengths of time before those threads' conceptions, I had to tolerate the unpleasantries of which I would eventually complain?

    These polls were never spontaneous decisions, you know.
    I didn't go mad and make multitudinous, unjustified ones. I never harassed anybody.


    EDIT:

    Yup, :bugeye:, probably one of the most important rules, too... heh.

    When one is asking for mercy... it's kind of important to say you are sorry first. You lost credibility with a lot of people, and we now wonder which polls were bullshit and which ones weren't. Since you don't want to apologize to the community that you wronged, joke or not, I think you should be banned. You obviously care about Open Government only when it suits your own whim.

    Something along the lines of, "Hey guys, I fucked up and for that I am sorry. It will not happen again." would be a good mature start.

    How can anyone say no to these faces?


    And for those of you who voted yes, just shut up already. He isn't going to be banned because obviously, the rest of the Intelligent community doesn't agree with your view on him.

    BTW - I voted yes, but I vote yes to everything. So its really only 3 people who actually think he should be banned.

    You fool. Haven't you forgotten about something?

    This is what you said
    And this was Rappaccini's reply:

    Unless I'm seeing things, this looks like he said sorry to me.

    I already apologized to you for something. What was it?
    Ah, yes, my inability to utilize the 'ignore' feature.
    Really? How many is a lot?
    How would you know what I do or do not want to do?
    ... or, obviously, you're intent on transforming me into some kind of Judas.

    Hey, guys, I fucked up, and I'm sorry. 'Twill not happen 'gain.




    EDIT:
    I think I'm going to hurl.
    Pretty soon, though, I'll be on my friend's boat. It'll be perfect!

    I can turn green and hang myself over the side, like a cartoon character!

    with all due respect to arditezza...
    in instances like this where a clear violation of the rules has occured, a poll is not the way to go. one should instead make the case to the administration. outline the transgression (s) and demand that action be taken. at the very least, a response addressing one's concerns is required.

    however, i also see no reason why the community has to beg or demand for their interests to be looked after. it is a waste of our] time.

    while i also respect the allegedly, busy schedules of the staff, stuff like this should be routine. perhaps a thread indicating poster x, "has thrown votes, penalty to be meted out shortly." that would definitely cut down on the high drama and whatnot. once confidence has been established, the posting of a notice would be superfluous

    if all this is too much work for our"volunteer" mods, step the fuck down
