It's interesting that some members seem to be remembered fondly, even though they were banned for breaking rules and continuously annoying other members. Maybe we admire outlaws. And infamy can have a long shelf life.
 
No-one ever fills my (PM) box. :(




;)

***Spams Lau*** ;) :D :)

I know, it is rather interesting. I guess that people are just more prone to remember those who go out with a bang. ;) :D

Particularly if you pulled the trigger, so to speak. There was a while there when troll baiting was quite a passtime of mine. But unfortunately the Mods have gotten quicker (and there are more of them) so we don't get to taunt them as much before they get the bolt from the blue.;)

Since it's Christmas, maybe the mods should un-ban someone...
I just globally unbanned everyone.

I figured it'd be an interesting social experiment to see who (a) even notices they're not banned, and (b) has or has not seen the error of their ways and will become a good MR citizen.

Ho ho ho.
 
Hope your not being sarcastic, it would be very interesting to see who posted first. But then you would have to re-ban everyone, and it would be better to have not posted about the un-banning till after all of that.


Yep you were being sarcastic...:eek:

I'm betting that Silverback wouldn't have changed his ways.

It was always interesting when he posted - the community spirit was higher than usual ;) :p
 
It would be like "Con Air" at MacRumors!
Lots of carnage, and only one or two of them survive? :D

My guess is that what would actually happen is only a handful would ever realize it, and that, of those, over half probably wouldn't get re-banned. I don't want to find out, though. :)
 
It's pretty simple. Breaking the rules gets you banned. Isn't that how it always works?

Actually, many rule violations are simply edited away, often with warnings for the member. Temporary bans are used when deemed necessary. Permanent bans are rare among non-spammers.
