Ok, there is a rule here at PC, which says you aren't allowed to evade, when you get banned.

Rules should be followed by everyone, right?
How come there are some exceptions then?

Well, there is a member called Kimi-Kaizer which might be a well-known and much liked member, which got banned some time ago.

But she created another account (Kimi-Chan).
Now that her old account is still banned, I guess she SHOULD actually still be banned.
How come, she didn't get banned for evading?

Well, I decided to asked her in this thread: http://pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=1448753&postcount=12
After some time, she sent me a reply by PM:
>> Because I'm best friends with the Staff Admin Andy
Cool, isn't it?
So all I need is be friends with some admin and I'm always allowed to return even if I've done something wrong?

Well, there isn't much to say else, other than that this is pretty unfair.

So is any staff member going to give me an explanation for that?

How dare you pick on Kimi! *get her to sick Inuyasha on you* And pika...life is unfair. We already went throught this in that thread that got Ty banned. The staff rules all...they can do whatever they want.

Well, for one this should have been a PM issue not a public event. Two, I don't know what is going on there. If indeed her old account is banned she should be banned again. I cannot ban her cause I do not know the circumstances are though. There may be a reason why she hasn't been banned, and there may not.

Hmm, I agree with you pika. I think that is unjust and there is no good reason for it. Unexcusable. The mods do a lot of work around here, but let's face it not all mods or admins are perfect in making judgements. Unfortunately that is the way life goes...<_<

Sadly, that isn't the point. The person/persons responsible should be exploited for their breaking of the "concrete rules." Everyone should be treated fairly on the internet. Why without rules, there would be no PC. If things like this keep happen it is going to snowball, and eventually, in due time PC will fall to it's sad death.

I am sure no one wants that to happen

I'd love to see an answer, truthfully.
So do I.

Sure, issues like this should just be ignored :rolleyes:

What are you trying to say?
Well, I've me reasons for making this public.
Issues like that should be discussed publicly WITH the members.

Perhaps I just find it pointless because I trust the higher staffs decision, and dont feel the need to find out why she isn't banned on this other account of hers also.

You nosey cheese!

I'm quite a quiet person when it comes to issues such as these or any others.

But since the issue has been raised and I just happened to be here at the time.

I'm wanting an explanation as well. And I've seen this happen alot but I really didn't care. So this does belong here and not in a PM.

Well, know what? NOBODY IS PERFECT!
Everyone can make mistakes, even if they might have never done before (which actually isn't the case here).
That's what some people on PC still need to learn.

So even if the higher staff (not that they are, but on topic) makes a mistake, you're willing to let it by?

Something's amiss here. If members feel like there is a problem, they should be able to voice their opinion and try to help. Pika just pointed out something that was bothering her. =/

Okay, and that has --- this much to do with what I posted.

If nobody is perfect, then why did you not PM one of the admins asking about the matter insted of making a whole topic about it, wich is probley making the member feel quite embaressed.

I'll have you know she was rebanned on sight when she rejoined after being banned as Kimi-Kaizer. Several times, if I remember correctly.

Anyway, I'll admit, I'm not quite sure how to deal with this. Yes, it's true Kimi's old account was banned for flaming. And yes, it's true Andy let her back in after she apologized for all previous actions. However, the old account wouldn't be unbanned and she had to start fresh--those were the conditions.

I'm not saying that was the right thing to do on Andy's part, but that's what happened from what I know and remember of the case. I think that's really all that can be said for now; Andy may be able to make better amends than this later.

Truly, the one responsibly should come forward. Everyone should be calling him/her out. This isn't right. Things like this shouldn't be happening. I hear about corruption all the time in politics around the world, but seriously this is the PC! People should be of higher character here. Firmly, I agree that the mods shouldn't let things slip up like this.

I'm a "rules are rules" type of person (those who know me from the RPs know this, and some resent that fact).

I have nothing personally against Kimi-chan.

But I can list numeral examples. And if I needed more all I would have to do is comb the member list.

Yes, it is quite possible that she could have righted her wrongs. But the explanation she gave as to why she was aloud back in leaves me seriously doubting the qualifications of our Admins. Not very good example setters.

She apoligized and he let her back?
How many people apologized and weren't allowed to come back?

o_o wow. I didn't know that........

I myself don't have much to say on this, but Kimi has changed I think and is a respectful PC member. I also think that everyone has favorites and people also change. It was Andy's choice and not yours to question, pika. Why state this to the public anyway?! Go talk to him yourself!

Wait: Others can change too! OMG
There are so many people who'd deserve a second change then.
It was Andy's choice, huh?
Who said Andy is the only person on PC to make decisions?

Look, I personally think this is an unfair thread to start.

Why? Because she is a member. Shes not banned. her old account may have been, but I feel this is horrible for Kimi-chan to have a thread slating her postion to be a member.

Yes perhaps you're all right and its been an unfair choice, but as I see it shes a normal member, and its unfair and embaressing to have a thread like this.
