[quote name='shrike4242']We're going to agree to disagree on this point. He was already at the point of no return with the multiple accounts and if he hadn't done so, he'd be back after the temp ban, which was his second strike for being a disruption on the site.
It's spelled out in the TOU for the site that you're not allowed to use multiple accounts. Anyone who's found doing so gets instabanned on the spot, not just him. Nor is he being singled out. Not my issue that he didn't read the TOU of the site, right over here:

If he was so valuable a member, he should have stopped picking fights with users and having other users report the on-going issue in the thread.[/QUOTE]
I never said he was being singled out, i just said that being permanently banned for an infraction very few people are actually aware of is a little harsh. After all, it does state under "Registration Obligations" that management may suspend *or* terminate an account should a user create multiple accounts. So, it isn't exactly an open and shut case, is it? Wouldn't the decision to suspend or ban a user be left to the discretion of the moderator? If that is indeed the case, and i hope it is, couldn't you simply extend the suspension NSYNC received for arguing with Meeek?
I just want to speak up on NSYNC's behalf because i know he is a good person and a valued contributor here - I'm sure there are many others who share my sentiments. There is no way he intentionally violated the site rules; he was just ignorant of them. I just think it is a shame that a silly argument has led to this - he hasn't tried to scam anyone and he isn't a distraction. He picked a fight with one person - i'm sure the user that brought their argument to your attention didn't intend to see both Meeek and NSYNC banned for almost a month and i'm certain the last thing the person wanted was to see NSYNC banned permanently.
