[quote name='Zen Davis']After reading through the entire thread and every post here, I have to say that I think that Mana Knight should be given one last chance. As others have said, this stems mostly from the sympathy I've developed for him from CAG Lifestyle posts. If he flunks out this time, I think everyone would be in agreement to let him go, especially since we all went to bat for him one last time and he decided he didn't want to be contributing member of the community.
Also, I understand that Cheapy is a busy guy, but he should have his thumb on all of his moderators to see that they do the right thing instead of just blindly backing them up on everything. I've been through a lot of different message boards and CAG has probably the most concretely mature community that I've seen and I hate to see that change.
In a community, the leaders have a responsibility to the people and the people have a responsibility to their leaders. It's a symbiotic relationship. However if CAG tries to become some sort of hand holding, nanny state, where bannings are rampant, it's going to make a lot of members uneasy and make the forums a lot less fun to visit. It's really no different than banning tag or any of the other crazy/fun stuff that goes on in schools in the name of safety/the community.
I guess what I'm saying is that you can't bubble wrap everything, if you get what I mean.[/QUOTE]
my point in case-- you post in the nintendo forums, what could you possibly gain from TMK sticking around? what would this thread tell you about TMK's post history? nothing.
I can't believe people are interpreting this as a sign that CAG is going to become a police state...a lot of you are reading wayyyy too deeply into this.

Seroiously, though. I can't see how anyone can be happy with the way this was handled. No-warning-perma-bans are not the way to run a ship with an established member.[/quote]
I wasn't implying that you, inufaye, whoknows, or the other ggt'ers who are sticking up for him are random. just everyone else who is
but straight from the mod's mouth:
[quote name='Trakan']It wasn't out of nowhere. He had been warned by plenty of mods in the past. He can cry and say whatever he wants to TFN on AIM, but it wasn't out of nowhere. I don't get why this is such a big deal. He was a troll who derailed every thread he posted in. CAG is better without him.[/quote]
