Re: Arbitrarily lift a bunch of QC/perma bans from years past at headmin discretion

There's a certain element of 'yolo, fuck it, see what happens' to this idea that you aren't about, that I'm definitely selling here. It's why I lead with a big ass yolo. You're not out of touch, but you're with it and a lot of people aren't. Lots of people don't even into forums these days.

There is an innate level of I guess prostration when appealing but I wouldnt call that intimidating, and thats only if you actually know you deserved the ban. The reality is most people just cba to appeal because of lack of interest. I dont think I can point to an individual who has ever said "I ...

Re: Arbitrarily lift a bunch of QC/perma bans from years past at headmin discretion

It wouldn't be an immediate surge of booming growth on Sybil. What you'll probably see is a nice little flow in of people who come up front, then a trickle in over the course of a few weeks. Try out Terry. They'll stick their nose into Manny and be cargo techs or whatever. Hang out, have a few ...

This is why I implored you guys to think like genpop, instead of admins of the game who've been doing it for a while. Like the common Spaceman who is just dejected about it.

Yolo.

Don't even lift bans for creepy people/extremely hateful or people who did obscene/rule 8 stuff/evader alts. Looking at the public beans, excluding these instances would preclude the bulk of people/actions who you actually want to keep banned, and the bulk of work filtering out the 95% that ...

The tram is wholly irrelevant because methods don't matter anywhere near as much as outcome.

Punishments usually fit the crime.

Cut and dry, or criminal behavior gets brig time, gets put on the books, especially things that have charges associated (assaulting an officer, grand theft, etc.). But, fuckery begets fuckery, and sec actually love fuckfuck games.
