Title: A time to forgive
Post by: KOTH-Steel Claw on January 30, 2003, 08:01:12 am
A short time ago, a few community members were banned from the Taldren forums. While this was probably warranted for what they did in regards to transgressions, maybe a lifetime ban was a bit harsh.

I am no great supporter of folks who post in an offensive way and I am myself one who has maybe whined here and there, but Max, Die Hard, and Likkerpig were all big contributors to the SFC community.

Max has gone so far as to financially support one of the most popular forums boards we had, not to mention the time he spent working on that labor of love. They all gave feedback to game aspects and competed in many a campaign. They were good competitors, good people.

I ask that maybe the good folks at Taldren consider letting them come back to continue in their support of a game that has often sparked feuds amongst us. To err is human, forgive devine.

Thank you for your time.

Lee
 

Edit: I have posted this in both the DV2 and DV3 forums to ensure those who can might consider the re-instatement.

As Patriarch of  KOTH I join in and ask for our entire fleet/group.  We have discussed the matter and believe that though the transgressions might have warranted a ban at the time, that it would be better for the entire community and Taldren itself, to forgive and allow a second chance for these individuals, who had so much to contribute.

Please consider the matter, Taldren.  It is in everyone's best interests.

Thank you.

Die Hard was back on for awhile.   He musta got banned again when I wasn't looking.  

Let him back on already.  And the others too.

Yes, it is time to forgive. They are all long-standing and contributing members of our community.

Thank you.

My apologies to all. I mis-informed you about Max. Max Powers and Max Torps (of the forums fame) are two different folks.

A special thanks to Dogmatix for politely pointing out my major faux pas.

I do, however, stand by my intent, which is that these 3 community members should be re-instated.

SteelClaw,

If you think they should be reinstated please add this tag in yellow to your signature...thanks




FWIW, no moderator banned these persons. Only an ADMIN could've or should've done that...and only Taldren employees are ADMINs. So, it would be safe to assume that most likely either Dave or Erik banned or re-banned those in question.

I hope that clarifies things for you.

Best,
Jerry

Has anyone else noticed that since Taldren's union with Activision their customer relations (both in forums and game) have dropped dramtically to what we used to have?

Just wondered.

About time Taldren admitted over reacting and reinstated these people.  If not reinstate them, enforce the SAME rules in all forums.  I remember some threads in the Off Topic forum that were both racist and outragious in their content.  THAT was allowed to continue.

Lest I forget, a special thanks to Chuut for this. He had originally modified his sig as you see on some of the others with the yellow lettering to reinstate Max, DH, and Likker. All I did was formally post it for the folks at Taldren to see.

Fair question Firesoul,

All three of these banned players have given a long term commitment to the game.  They have been posting in these forua from the beginning and are part of the community.

Max Power, for better or worse is/has been a Hydran RM on SCF2.net.  He is a very commited Hydran.

Die Hard, is a long term Fed player that is respected(at least by many of the Feds).  And is generally agreed to be somewhat open minded on most issues.

Likkerpig is well, likkerpig.  He is a long term klingon and we miss him here very much.

Thanks,

jd

Let them back in.

To continue to ban them is stupid.
