Should X-Calibur be banned?

I agree. Maybe they are planning on changing the rule.

And I can see why you view it as a double standard. It's hard not to.

Do you not think that what a person offers to the site should play a role?

Within reason of course.

You got guy who does nothing but be a dick and constantly breaks the rules. He's no benefit to keep around and you KNOW he was being shady.

Then you got guy B who is a mod who is contributing and trying to improve the site and help out and made a stupid mistake (Do you think what he did was with malicious intent?)

I get what you're saying. But not everything is black and white

I agree. But I'd be very surprised if he did it again. Plus this will give him an extra kick up the ass to get into gear.

I'm sure if he does it again. He will be done. You only get 1 chance at shit. He wont get the benefit of the doubt again.

Not if person B has a history of similar offenses, no, I do not.

Edit:

Also, Grizz I can understand. But, does Lock REALLY make X-Calibur look that good?

theres absolutely no doubt that what he did was stupid and wrong ... but i really find it hard to imagine that a mod of all people would send an IM for someone to check out his battle without for some reason thinking it was acceptable cus you would get exposed immediately for it ... im not sure what got into this guys head thinking it was okay but i feel like he must have or he wouldnt have done something so blatantly retarded .. then again .. i tend to give people more credit than they deserve cus lots of people are just retards but anyway
i dunnno though .. if hes workin hard and doing good for the site than a warning seems fine .. at this point if he does anything even remotely wrong at this point hes gone .. and thats all that matters really
