It can't end this way... >_>;
 
Ok, now as to begin with, many of you might know that I do not like to complain, and I do not like to bug the staff for whatever change there is on PC. However, when I do complain is when I believe there IS something wrong. Understanding this, please be sure to take your time to consider what I am about to say...

As we have all seen, Lion Heart was a member who had strong opinions. He apparently disagreed with higher staff at times, until some days ago "someone" decided to ban him.
His ban did not last very long, as many people disagreed with what the reasons for banning him were, and myself, I think that the reasons were mainly exagerated and untrue.

Seeing there were no concrete proofs of him flaming, and instead, there were many people supporting him, an ADMINISTRATOR decided to un-ban him.

However, after he got unbanned "the same someone", who clearly dislikes him, got him banned again. This all happened without LH knowing anything. He did NOT receive any further notice by staff, he did not flame, and he did not spam. He was acting just like a normal member, he was getting on with his friends and leading a peaceful 'life' at PC.

Now I just want to know - does this sound fair? Doesn't it sound like "someone" is abusing his power? I'll leave you to think about it...

Sayounara.... or not until you check below here... >_>;;

HERE IS THE NOTES SECTION!:

I have been discussing on MSN with Lion Heart, he's pretty much annoyed by this, but what makes him even more annoyed is the person who banned him, the praetor Dakota, that is talking to him on MSN...

Now, I know MSN has nothing to do with PC, however, those quotes might just give you an idea on what the situation is:

-edited-
Sorry, as you said, MSN conversations have nothing to do with PC



Enjoy the last bits, and before denying, I can prove those quotes with screenshots Lion Heart gave me.... >_>;

DragonTrainer April 9th, 2005 10:04 AM

Most, if not all of the higher staff agreed that LH remain banned, not just Dakota ;)

Mr Cat Dog April 9th, 2005 10:08 AM

His posts in the T-Dome alone were enough to warrant a ban. Whilst Dakota's dislike didn't exactly help the situation, his banning was mutually agreed upon by the staff. Although Dakota pressed the button, it was a democratic decision to ban and reban him.

Eastenders is crap!

Natsuki April 9th, 2005 10:10 AM

Hmmmmmmmm...yet another one of these threads? OK, since I have zero power in this part of PC, I might as well state what I want before it gets closed. XD

I did not really know or like Lion Heart. From the posts he made that I had seen, I saw that he was flamey and went off topic nearly all the time. <.<;;

As for what he may have done to some of the staff, that I don't know about. I was one of the staff members who wasn't within Lion Heart's range I suppose. XD

If it truly was our dearest Dakota who did this...from what your little MSN convos say, it sounds like Dakota banned LH out of hatred. XD But I know D better than that. I'm sure he had his reasons, but why shed those reasons upon a flamey unworthy member?

Now...I'm afraid I must stop at this point, for I see a few members are sharpening their pitchforks. XD

...Wasn't that the purpose of his first ban? You can't just ban a guy, then unban him and ban him again if he hasn't actually done anything wrong since he was unbanned. That isn't right.

NiNGi April 9th, 2005 10:16 AM

Doesn't sound fair to me still.... He was a really good member and his case was supported by many. No proof was given of his flaming, and Kwesi himself said he would have re-organised banning policies or something...

Besides, he was rebanned after doing no flaming/spamming AT ALL, with no further notice too. And as MCD said about his posts on the T-Dome, that gave him a restriction of access to the T-Dome, and that's how the problem ended.

Ryoutarou April 9th, 2005 10:18 AM

His unban was unauthorized...So of course he's going to be rebanned. He was warned countless times and he didn't listen, he evaded his ban by rejoining, that alone is enough to merit another ban. Almost all of the higher staff agreed to his banning, he was given countless chances to shape up and he wasted them.

Timbjerr April 9th, 2005 10:21 AM

I don't want to take sides. I wasn't here when this problem arose, but from what I've heard and seen, LH was a really flamey member that went for too long without being put in check (sound familiar?) The end result was a burst of "WTF?!? Why was LH banned?" when he finally was banned (also sound familiar?).

This is just my perspective, but there are many parallels between the cases of JKaizer, a1337a, and Lion Heart...

Sawyer April 9th, 2005 10:22 AM

if he got banned, he wasn't a good member. period.

NiNGi April 9th, 2005 10:22 AM

It was none of his fault if the ban was or was not authorised. Staff is expected to work together.
All he knows is that he found himself randomly banned with no further notice or anything. Not to mention him being abused by a staff member over MSN... -.-

EDIT: Ok, now this is really starting to interest me: You said his banning was discussed and agreed between staff, yet, why do some staff members barely know about his case?
They all seem to mention "from what they see" or "what they think". No one has yet given me any link of his spam/flame. >_>;

Mr Cat Dog April 9th, 2005 10:23 AM

It was Casey who gave the OK to reban, admitting that it had been a mistake to unban him in the first place. He was rebanned for past offences, not for ones he didn't commit inbetween bans.

Eastenders is crap!

MSN isn't PC and personal opinions can't be held against anyone. The staff did work together, and we came to a unified decision that he was to be banned.

The staff did NOT work together, as it seems they were disagreeing on whether he stays banned or not.

Please read my edit too, because it might be relevant to the topic....

S-Mods and up, the ones that decide weather someone is banned or not worked together on this.

NiNGi you're a cool guy and I've never had any problems with you. But I think your fighting a battle for a friend that is just lying to you.

As we have all seen, Lion Heart was a member who had strong opinions. He apparently disagreed with higher staff at times, until some days ago "someone" decided to ban him.
His ban did not last very long, as many people disagreed with what the reasons for banning him were, and myself, I think that the reasons were mainly exagerated and untrue.

None of it was exaggerate and none of it was untrue. You need to hear both sides of the story before you believe something to be fact. Were you there in the T-dome when LH called all christians "Insane" and "Dickheads". or When he said that everyone who believes that bible is Stupid?

Or when he spammed the threads in Member Fan Clubs? Constantly complaining about being banned from the T-dome?


Seeing there were no concrete proofs of him flaming, and instead, there were many people supporting him, an ADMINISTRATOR decided to un-ban him.

There was in fact conrete proof for him flaming, and not a single higher staff supports him...where the heck are you getting your info? From LH? >_>

Yes Steve pushed the unban button, but is was cause of me that he did because I neglected to say why I banned him. After I told Steve why, he right away gave me the ok to ban him.


However, after he got unbanned "the same someone", who clearly dislikes him, got him banned again. This all happened without LH knowing anything. He did NOT receive any further notice by staff, he did not flame, and he did not spam. He was acting just like a normal member, he was getting on with his friends and leading a peaceful 'life' at PC.

He did flame and he did spam. You may not want to accept it NiNGi, but he did flame and spam, flat out.

Now I just want to know - does this sound fair? Doesn't it sound like "someone" is abusing his power? I'll leave you to think about it...

It just sounds like to me that LH gave you his side of the story. And Unfortunately, you bought it without thinking as to whether he was lying or not.

HERE IS THE NOTES SECTION!:

I have been discussing on MSN with Lion Heart, he's pretty much annoyed by this, but what makes him even more annoyed is the person who banned him, the praetor Dakota, that is talking to him on MSN...

Now, I know MSN has nothing to do with PC, however, those quotes might just give you an idea on what the situation is:

Lion Heart:: Better than you says:
Cant you unban me and restrict my access to strats and mss?
Dakota:: MaxX Unlimited says:
I could...
Dakota:: MaxX Unlimited says:
but will I?
Dakota:: MaxX Unlimited says:
lol! No...
-------------------------------------------------
Dakota:: MaxX Unlimited says:
Dear Lion Heart,

You're banned...deal with it. Your not getting unbanned, and if you DO get unbanned, I'll just ban you again. Simple as that. You can complaign and complaign all you want, but you're still banned. It's over, it's done, say goodbye to PC. Stop wasting your time with me.

Sincerely,
The happy guy who banned you twice
-------------------------------------------------------
Dakota:: MaxX Unlimited says:
with any member that I ban, I need a reason
Dakota:: MaxX Unlimited says:
except for you, cause you're an idiot


Enjoy the last bits, and before denying, I can prove those quotes with screenshots Lion Heart gave me.... >_>;

I won't deny them, cause I did say them ;)...I enjoyed it to, I'd say it all again if I had the chance...he deserves it...

Tell me NiNGi, how would you like it if every hour LH came on and complained at you and swore at you and called you names cause you banned him? Every single time he was! Would you be calm about it? I know I wasn't...So I lashed out back at him, simple as that

NiNGi, you're a good guy, but you've been diluted by LH's lies...The last thing I want to be on is bad terms with you, so I just suggest that you really think about all this...

NiNGi April 9th, 2005 10:35 AM

I have tought about this, Dakota.

I have always liked you, but I HATE abuses. LH gave me screenshots of what you said, so it is highly unlikely he's lying...

ravenstorture April 9th, 2005 10:38 AM

The only staff that are confused, as you say Ningi, are moderators. Mods don't have a say in his banning, only SMods and up do, and if you go back and read through what the Smods and up have said in this thread, they agreed that he should be banned.

Dude, I'm not denying anything that I said, I said all that stuff he showed you! (unless he edited any of it, why don't you send me what he showed you via PM)

Did he show all the stuff that HE said to ME?...heh, I doubt it...

KoBRe LaiR April 9th, 2005 10:40 AM

Those are some harsh accusations toawrds Datoka. Although I had nothing to do with that user, never even talked from what I've check his posts he did seem like a lil spammer. but i wont comment anymore.
Ningi, you're a great guy, but you're caught between two people. Now which one is right? Um... though?

NiNGi April 9th, 2005 10:43 AM

He told me he never flamed you... just asked you about it and he said you only said he bothers you, not that he flamed you or anything...

Piro, if you read Tmbjr's post, he didn't sound as if he had facts... besides, an ADMINISTRATOR decided to unban him... that should just give a hint on internal disagreements...

The first thread that popped up whenever he was first unbanned, an ADMINISTRATOR agreed with his banning (Andy). Also, praetors are ADMINISTRATORS.

That ADMINISTRATOR was PPN Steve, and he's the same admin that said I could ban him again (after I gave him the full story of course)

Actually, 6 ADMINISTRATORS said we should re ban him O_o...that should tell you something...

And like I said before, every single higher staff said that he should be banned

NiNGi April 9th, 2005 10:48 AM

As far as I know, praetors do not have as much power and relevance as Steve does... correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyways, I still haven't seen any proof of him flaming, I cannot agree on accusations with no proof at all... =/

EDIT: Ah, now if this is the case, I haven't got much power to say anything more...
It just sounds weird seeing him unbanned and then banned again without giving any reason...

Still, I hate abuses, and seeing what happened, I see staff members acted strange on his regards... I'd advise you to examine what kind of person LH really is.

It's post like these he was banned, and it's post like these that he'll stay banned.

Actually, Praetors are sub-admins, AFAIK, and Staff Admins are admins without sites. o.o
