Easy there, Admiral. Rican's just giving his side of the subject. No need to breakout the Burning Soulhammer of Justice.

You didn't just insult Swinub, did you?
He's in mourning, but he masks the pain with a smile.
Lol, if you search "Swinub Sad" on google, this thread is the first thing to come up.
Imma leave it alone cuz it seems someone in the AP Hierarchy had it for the lil guy.
And I've yet to hear as to why other than vague "situations".
Congratulations, this depressing party made Google.
Swinub used Mourning
It was super effective
Cuddles fainted from guilt (and a dead liver)
To old friends.

eep
YES ADMIRAL!

Please do. I don't want to lose another bro…
What some of you need to consider is that individual actions, and even actions as a whole, aren't specifically the problem. It's about setting an example. KoS led the rule-breaking off-topics… he made it popular. Hell, look at his loyal followers all defending him? Were it random member #234234 we would give warning, infraction, call it a day.
Take Chrissie for example. She has a magical power that breaks every thread she enters and makes it go off-topic and/or become spam. She can take a hint though. KoS, on the other hand, not only ignored the warnings but also brought the off-topic spam to another level. Case in point, when the staff receives multiple requests from other members of the forum about racism, slurs, language, off-topic spam, and the like, we cannot ignore it. The ball was in his court, so the blame is all on him.
Rican. If other users are irritating you or breaking rules, let mods know. We're not everywhere and whats passable to us might be a no no to someone else, or there might be somethign we overlook. If we get multiple people complaining about the same person, that goes a ways in helping our judgement of a situation.
As for the likes of Agog and Juju, they are annoying in their own ways, but generally stick to the threads they stick to, and aren't rule breaking. (And Juju is improved a thousand fold since he started. If I'd had mod powers back when he first came on, he would have been long since banned.)
As for Thousand Lion… ya'll DO realize he's on his THIRD account now, right? (Zephos is on his... seventh?)
The drama….. is over?
You guys do realize that the mods actually sitting down and rationally explaining why they banned people is a massive improvement over the old days.
So ends the Sarus Saga. May we eat chicken it its honor.
He'll always be here. In our hearts. (Not kidding, I'm sure he'll come back eventually.. maybe)

Yes. I'm glad they do give explanations for their actions, and not "LOLZ I have spoken!!!"
I just thought Sarus was a good person is all. I didn't monitor what he did in other threads. All I saw of him was in the Intros, this thread, the Naruto Thread and the Pokemon threads. I didn't see anything big in there. (I wasn't here for the closing of the Naruto Thread thing and I didn't really bother to read through it all)
Were there really that many people complaining about him?
If so, then wow.
@Cyan:

Hopefully a Sarus-saga-aftermath-saga doesn't appear…..

It'll be composed of you having a flashback to the time where your grandpa stupidly left you and him in the care of mountain bandits…

Thank you.
So basically him going off-topic and his brash attitude got the best of him.
I can get that.
Actually I can get BEHIND that sentiment.

I'll remember that.
But don't expect much of me reporting people… maybe I'll nudge SOMEONE to report someone but not me personally ever.
My tea will get extremely cold if I reported the people that deserved it in the interwebz... and I like my tea hot sir.

I did mention juju circa jan 2010 AND before then. He's grown by leaps and bounds since I first saw him post during my lurking era.
As for Thousand Lion… ya'll DO realize he's on his THIRD account now, right? (Zephos is on his... seventh?)
Why allow them back in the first place if we KNOW it's them?
I'm all for second chances… but 4ths and 7ths!?
Jesus O_o'
Did not know Zephos had been banned THAt many times.
Also...why was Sarus insta-banned upon his attempted return? :getlost: Was he being idiotic with his Username? If so imma go e-slap him.

Good to know we (and the mod by extension) evolved from what i can only assume was poo' flingin' baboons.
Cuz if ya'll got banned for NO reason then I have to wonder how ya'll survived.

:blink:
People actually like Zephos/Tupac's Ghost/JERK DISEASE. He's like the facetious of Arlong Park. He's that rare member of blunt truth.
Thousand-lion I'm sure is kept around for GEAR SECOND amusement.
I didn't understand Zephos at first… Still don't but he's nice to have around.
I suppose people didn't understand King either without assuming superficial things. "He's a bad person! He talks a certain way to me! cries"
Zephos is awesome. Plus, I think that most of his bans are the result of him asking for them, not sure why, though.
@Cyan:

Contrary to popular belief, this is not true.

Tupac's Ghost was never banned.
Zephos' first ban was a complete joke, the only one he even vaguely deserved was his 3rd one for constantly flaming Kuminator (though it was pretty funny).
What? KingofSarus got banned? I can't believe it. I'll miss that little n–-
naughty guy. Well, at least I got a nice quote from him before he went on. sniff

This is also not true, despite popular belief. This thread is weird.

New IPs, new names. Sometimes it takes a while to realize its them. And by then they've been on decent behavior for a while. And I like Zephos personally. I'm usually the first to welcome him back. I liked Smudge too.
And hey, they're back with new names and behaving, fancy that.
Lion Chan gets into a lot of arguments, but generally stops after he's been told to.
Also…why was Sarus insta-banned upon his attempted return? :getlost: Was he being idiotic with his Username? If so imma go e-slap him.
I wasn't aware Sarus has attempted to make a new account. I deleted a new proxy account that CTArlong made a couple hours ago, Coconut Gorilla, since he had JUST made an infractionary post and I was checking his IP anyway. I wasn't aware Sarus had a new one already. What would that be?
I also deleted BekaDidAct's 3 alternate accounts a few days ago once I became aware of them.

Or something of that nature.
(The pun writes itself but it's mostly a Chrissie joke :V)
ZombieThingieofSarus is an account he made like, 2 weeks ago. It wasn't a new one made today.
People should know by now that after they've been banned, if they wait a week or a month and come back fresh and better behaved, they can stick around. It defeats the purpose and punishment of a ban if they come back immediatley.

It was under the "Welcome to our newest member" thing today. There had to have been other people joining within 2 weeks. It was a new account of some sort that was banned almost instantly.
Meh, I'm not going take these damage control cover ups seriously anymore.
Huh, Sarus is banned..?:(
Looks like my telenovela has a very sad ending…
Not gonna question the mods here, they have their reasons. But it's a bit surprising nontheless.
You will be missed, dude. You were a fun guy!
Eat up everyone!
In memory of Sarus.
Holy fack…
Now I'M HUNGRY!
:V :V :V :V
@StrawHatRican - For the record, I liked KoS. I shall pour out a lil' liquor for da homie.
However, rules are put in place for a reason. Anyways, I won't beat the currently dead horse no pun intended about why KoS got banned. Tell him he can have some Popeye's on me, lol.
pours wine on KoS's gravestone
Heh. You can only cheat death banning for so long buddy. Doesn't mean I like or respect you any less.
drinks chocolate milk and sits down
How you guys doing?

Since I can talk to the recently deceased lil nig.

I liked him the most of the three new mods.

Zombiekingofsarus already existed at least as early as May 2. I know this because, being a post-April joining member, it was put on the "no tournament votey" category.
You do realize accounts need to be manually approved and can sit in the system for weeks at a time, right? It was let through sheerly to be cleared out.
In my case my account sat for MONTHS til it got activated… just look at my "Join Date" :V
Why do I remember my account being ready in a matter of seconds?
Or do I just not remember getting my account activated?
I know I'm late to the game (f**king night school), but oh well.
Ahem, I didn't know KOS for long ( actually, I didn't know him at all:happy:) I regarded him as a kindred spirit since I am devoted to Vepe-sama as he was to Chrissie. He was an entertaining guy and he will be sorely missed.
Now take your caps, hoodies, do-rags, etc. off and pay repects.

Confirmation and activation are different things, with different levels of what you can do. (One can send pms, but can't post.) Also, different servers and browsers send different codes. Some of them automatically verify, but most of them don't. Spam filters and things. Its a five star mod thing and an email thing, I don't fully understand it.
I just know that since I became a mod (a whopping 2 weeks ago) I've already gotten 6 or 7 pms asking to have their accounts activated that had been waiting a while.
Also possible you lucked into signing up while an Admin was on site.
Oh wow… how could I forget? :cwy:
[hide]GeZT1SKRQMQ[/hide]
As much as I like power, I don't know if I could ever be a mod. I did it once, when a friend had to be away for a month. I was cool with everyone, but a flame war broke out. I knew both war contenders pretty well, and I practically wanted to bust their skull open for being so damn stupid.
I've never been a big fan of forum drama. Especially being a part of it.
Ya know, guys, if you really want Sarus back, maybe you should try throwing a party! It worked with LGS and MiniLuffy, at least…
@puffin:
Late person is late.
Hey, don't fault the guy for being late! Some people are late for everything. Take me, for example. P:
@StrawHatRican:

I remember seeing your name on the list of Currently Active Users for months, and thinking to myself "Who is this guy?! He's on here all the time, but he hasn't even gotten his account activated yet!" Then one day I saw you posting in the Naruto thread. "Wait, where have I heard this name before? I know I've seen it somewhere…Oh, shit! It's him!"
