Re: Diablo banned
[ QUOTE ]
I don't think we should be banning Diablo ever for basically any reason. He is, IMO, the overall #1 poster on 2+2 for years.
He should get leeway times a hundred. In my view, this is a business, and the goal here isn't to apply every rule 100% equally to every member. This is about creating a popular and profitable site. And Diablo does that more than anyone else around here and gets nothing but entertainment in return.
Diablo is exactly the kind of person who has helped make this site so successful. He's been around for years.
He also behaves like an adult. There's no reason at all to "send him a message" by "suspending" him for any period of time. If he posts something you think absolutely must come down, then take it down and politely explain to him why it was removed.
There's a big difference between an 18 year old guy who can't control his behavior and barely posts anything useful and a 35 year old guy who is rational and mature and who has been giving to us for years.
If the "system" we have set up involves giving people like Diablo "time outs" then the system needs to change. Big time.
