We made this to be a place where people can post away from the mods, trolls, and general misinformation shitposting of the live forum. To do that, me and Violet, whilst we want people here, obviously have to filter the trolls and shit stirrers. We have Voldemort wanting to join, saying he will not troll and only did it on the other forum to prove how bad the mods are, and will be a decent forumer here. However we haven't let him in as the general consensus was that he wasn't wanted. Now, another forumer who i have noticed with a similar rep is LostVengeance. We've withheld access. This hasn't been met well so far. Do you guys want Voldemort and/or LostVengeance here?

Can give him a week long trial type thing and have a hidden mod (one who it doesn't actually say is a mod) follow all his posts and if he breaks his 2 strikes he's out

I think everyone deserves a second chance. If they start being stupid it's not the hard to give them the boot is it?

Looking at how he acted, I think he's just trying to butter up and get cozy with you, but I would still be lenient to give him a chance and if he fucks it up, oust him ASAP.

I'm all for second chances, let 'em in on a (very)short leash.

Ok, consensus seems in favour so far. Voldemort wasn't expecting that. Guy is being apologetic and saying he just wants to be a forumer here. Going to wait for a few more replies, but i'll let them know what the deal is and that they probably will be joining us, if they wish. Like you guys said, there's a fucking big ban hammer here if need be, but i'm hoping not to have to use the thing.

He can always be removed if he reverts to his old ways. I don't know much about those guys but thought I would chime in. I've only been into the forums for a couple months.

I'm not really the kind of person who believes in second chances. Someone being a really stinky turd for a long time is unlikely to become something better imo. But that's just my opinion, if the majority thinks otherwise i'll have to accept that.

I'm thinking the same thing but like you will agree with the majority, and hope that perhaps the bad atmosphere of the other forum had a bad effect on them that won't apply here.

I dont know. Voldemort could have his good threads and bad threads. If hes allowed to join he should have an in extremis one strike fuck off deal.
As for LostVengeance he can be an arse but ive only had the usual miscommunication problem because you cannot always read context in a thread with him.

He has agreed to something similar to this, even says we can have it so all his posts require moderator approval if we want. I wouldn't go that far though i don't think, feels a bit too North Korean.

I dunno, I never really trusted him even when he was being serious. I don't see why you shouldn't let him in, but hopefully he'll be kicked the fuck out of here as soon as something goes awry.

Being selective and nit picky always leads to stagnation and disaster for a community. If anyone starts trolling just ban their IP and delete the thread/post, so I think anybody should be allowed to join regardless.
REST this forum is a SAAAFFEE SPAAAAACCE, with bully proof windows and troll safe doors. You even have to ask the community for their opinion on a person to determine if they can be let into the safe space. I really do not like it at all and I regret coming here.
On the other hand; it is and will be a better place for guides and more serious discussion. So I'm kind of at a crossroads at this point in time.

The people that Gimp O'Toothless defended because he had a little bit of power.

It's not like they killed someone lol, I mean it's obvious they will get kicked if they get stupid so maybe they want to join a real forum? Worst that can happen is they get kicked lol

On the other hand; it is and will be a better place for guides and more serious discussion. So I'm kind of at a crossroads at this point in time. Fair enough, however i was clear all along that decisions would be decided by the community, and people wanted to get away from trolls, so letting them decide if known trolls are allowed here seems fair to me, and prevents personal bias having as big an effect. The other forum is a cesspit of trolling, spam and bad info and i wanted to avoid that here. This is a teething problem, one of what will no doubt be many, and if we find a good way to deal with this now then it prevents similar problems in the future. This place will be adaptive, me and Violet came up with the idea of it but nothing says that it is perfect and feedback and change is good. For instance, we will now accept all except alts, and rely on moderation to stop people ruining it. More on that later today. People will still have to confirm it's them signing up via live forum though, so people don't steal names.

Anyone who starts causing crap will have a short stay.
