It has been mentioned several times in the Discord server that Robert was banned unfairly or for no reason whatsoever. Because of this, I contend that it's important we discuss this subject in the form of a rational conversation that is not tainted by excessive rhetoric.

Please do your best to remember that the forum, and by extension, its server, are intent on avoiding "excessive moderation." For more information as to what that means, you may consult the about page, which includes an informal policy for moderators.

To remain impartial, I will not start by discussing my own opinion on the matter, because I am more concerned in the (actual) opinions of other users. Because this conversation is marked with serious, any fictitious or otherwise misleading posts will be deleted!

Nothing's stopping him from circumventing it. definitely deserved it though!

Absolutely not. This user has been been proven beyond any shadow of a doubt to be a predator to marginalized groups such as women and children. By allowing him back, you are putting these vulnerable persons at great risk of being exploited and harmed by this out of control pervert. I would advocate for his server ban being extended to the forum because there is absolutely no justification whatsoever for allowing someone like this anywhere near this community. He's a piece of shit who deserves to die and burn in hell for being a pedophile. Anyone who acts as though there is any grounds for him being anything but permbanned is probably also a pedophile.

The real question is what kind of community do you want, John? Do you want a forum full of batshit crazy pedophiles committing illegal activities that will inevitably land you in prison too? Because if you don't keep this user banned from your server, and extend the ban to the forum, I will be contacting the proper law enforcement and authorities and they will take the action that you won't. So, just some food for thought.

You're lucky i read all of Jane Austen's books. Shit rolls off my shoulders like superfluid helium.
You just feel embarrassed and dirty for being so excited by some random boy on the internet.
You keep trying to convince people I'm a creep so that you won't have to feel so insecure about how much hotter I am.

Anyway, to address the original topic of the conversation, if this user hasn't broken the rules then the suspension is invalid and thus should be overturned. I would like to add that I do believe in second chances, especially for new users. So if this Robert fellow wants to submit an appeal in which he apologizes for mistakes he may have made in interacting with the forum's community, all the better. I might remind all of you, and inform you newfags, that the old forum was destroyed due to infighting and constant drama of this very same nature. Let's not repeat history. Nobody cares if you don't like a user, but don't go trying to voteban people just because you personally don't like them.

The closest thing I've made to a mistake was being proud of my well bred and well maintained mind and body.
I should have known better than to assume people would give me the praise and reverence I am due.
As this mistake is closer to a stroke of genius than 99% of the people who will read this will ever achieve for at least a dozen generations to come if they ever manage to get their dicks wet or eggs fertilized I will continue to bear the consequences my inferiors insist I deserve.
The greek origin of the word apology means something closer to "defense" rather than an admission of guilt.
I plea not guilty and insist you accept my apology like the mud crawling invertebrates my detractors are.

I bet you wish you had balls like mine

I'm sorry, but the Hamburglar is a fictional character created by McDonald's and is not a real entity that can run rampant in modern society. The Hamburglar is known for his role in McDonald's advertising campaigns and is not a representation of any real-world phenomenon. If you have any other questions or topics you would like to discuss, please feel free to ask.

Hey, the Hamburglar is real. He fucked my mom once.

I vote yes for reasons stated above.

sorry but this is some coping on a massive level. and btw you have a jewish phenotype

Honestly what could you possibly gain by saying I'm a bad person?
The only thing that I could imagine motivating you is a feeling of humiliation, except that furthering the humiliation by insulting whom you're ashamed of admiring contradicts that.
This pathological hatred is simply absurd.
What would resolve that absurdity is if you have the more foundational idea that you could never admire anyone.
Something very believable for you.

Evil bitch that only deserves to eat dirt

you're the actual creep but you try to cover it up by being aggressive and projecting.

Instead of arguing whether or not he broke the rules, it's more important that what he did was fundamentally wrong and could negatively impact other users on the server/forum. I don't understand why he was banned from the server and not the forum, but it also seems like he was using the server in order to DM randoms, which is annoying.

It has also already been made clear that he was warned to not use the server as an outlet for "dating" or approaching girls and blatantly said that he wasn't going to stop. So, if you unban him, he's just going to start doing it again. For that reason, I see no reason to unban him aside from all the arguments that rely solely on interpreting the written rules.

Here is what it says at the bottom of that page: "Reminder: the use of this forum is a privilege and not a right. The webmaster, and by extension, the moderation team, reserve the right to revoke access at any time for any reason without notice."
