Awwww.... I feel so special, I wasn't really a bad member.
IMHO, there can't be a set in stone rule for this. Each case has to be judged individually.
Sometimes, it takes people a long time to learn.
You should feel special... you are still able to post.. :D

Yeah but getting them out of your carpet is a REAL challenge.

1) we welcome them back for the second, third and seventeenth time and help them along.
2) we welcome them back for a second and after that permanently bann them if they screw up agan.
3) we just throw them out.
in either of those cases, they WILL return if they want. its just a matter of wether they state they are those old member or not. if we dont welcome former member back, then they will join and will not tell us who they used to be.
lets assume someone was banned joined up and we didnt know... and we noticed that this "new" person is causing the same and just as similar trouble, we cannot ban this person becase they are similar to former troublemakers... thats just prejudice.
The term "Prejudice"... may be a bit harsh in this context. I would prefer to tell this person they are going to be under close scrutiny in the future until they prove themselves. Again...

I would say (apart from the incident) noODle caused no trouble and has been benifitial to AO.
|gridley|, I will assume this means you plan to be a benefit... kudos.
I also think that using the ignore feature makes threads confusing, I don't use it.

When MemorY first came back as Nemory he was a huge post whore and only trying to get AP's and people realised what he was all about.. however he is back now and behaving (I think) and I have no problem with him anymore.. good luck to him
I personally liked MemorY at first, but after witnessing several of his tantrums, I just tend to float over his posts to the next, I suppose it is kind of like ignoring him without the ignore list. When I see an improvement in his newest alias (we all know what that is) I will let him know. I don't neccesarily believe the addage "once a troll, always a troll" I hope I am not proven wrong here.

aeallison, here's my take:
quote:
Should we ban these folks again as we learn of their return?
Not always.. take d0pp for example. He wasn't a bad member really, he asked to be banned.
quote:
Would it do any good?
Nope. My proof? One word.. MemorY. (sorry man, but your the poster boy for this)
quote:
Or do you feel (as I do) that we should give them the opportunity to redeem themselves. Then neg the sh*t outa them if they screw up again?
Yup, I feel as you do. Let the community self-moderate them as well.
I still don't understand why D0pp asked to be banned, unless he was just tired of his user name. I have always liked him, and I am glad he is back.

I think we should go beyond the AP system with them and send AO hitmen to their homes with shotguns.
i will support you on this request. Perhaps we can shot some active post whores senior members too?
Care to give us some more info on your comment? Like who? (as if we don't really know) Some of us might like to hear who you would like to shoot. ;) j/k
You know, I still havn't seen some of the expected "noobs" post here, I suppose they are afraid to show themselves. (I do know who they "now" are) c'mon guys, fess up, come out of the closet. Let us all know who you are and I am sure you will recieve the attention you want. Some of you I had considered to be friends. PM me if you don't want to go "public". I will understand.
