Hey gamers

We're considering unbanning lra2 from the forums. We've let him back into the GTM discord, and his behavior has improved compared to how he has been in the past. He has also been relatively fine in other communities.

Vote on whether you think we should welcome him back the the forums. The decision at the end of the day comes down to the admins, but I would like to see where people stand in the matter.

So apparently polls are broken in this section. So just post your thoughts on this matter.

I mean like a week ago he was picking fights on facebook with people the same way he always has. He is who he is. If ya want him around, your choice, but I don't think you gain much.

Philippa · « **Reply #7 on:** June 13, 2018, 07:02:23 PM »

I don't think he's changed a whole lot either, honestly. Also the "perma" part of that permaban sure was worth the effort, huh?

I doubt anyone wants him back other than for the meme of it, and really you aren't gonna be gaining anything substantial either other than more moderating work to do when he inevitably throws some sh**fits. But whatever, you do you.

oof.

I vote yes for ava. Albeit, I was blind to why he was banned in the first place.

Honestly? No.

He had his chance. Multiple chances. Permaban should mean exactly that, and if the Discord has become such an intergral part of GTM then he should probably be lucky to be allowed back on that.

Ra2Winner999 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 13, 2018, 08:30:28 PM »

he's not as bad as lra... oh. Well. I guess if everything you said is true, let him on.

Asbestosstar · « **Reply #11 on:** June 14, 2018, 01:19:46 AM »

When I logged onto my account. The poll disappeared. So I'm a just say yes here. Now

Dark-Al · « **Reply #12 on:** June 14, 2018, 03:18:49 AM »

Sorry but no. Sure Avalanche has turned over a new leaf and may appear to be less of an asshole than he was last year. But with the amount of chances that we have given him throughout his time on Gametechmods, could be us being a little too forgiving for his past actions. Did this site ever try to get "Noodle" or "That Robot is a spy!" unbanned?. It's his own fault he got banned from this site and being perm-banned should be the final word on this. He could of avoid this if he just took the six month ban like a mature person, instead of making all those sock puppet accounts that led to his perm-ban.

So even if you were to unban him, let's just say he'll be on his last leg.

Excuse the essay-like response but I just wanted to air my thoughts.
On one hand:

Avalanche caused a lot of issues whilst here that annoyed other users (not saying some of the other users were innocent either).
People from outside GTM are aware of who Avalanche is (he's made quite the name for himself) and associate GTM with him thus may be less inclined to join GTM.

On the other hand:

On the Discord, he has improved dramatically in attitude.
Seems to want to try and make things better.

I have my doubts but I'm happy with the fresh page Ava has taken. At the moment I don't think "Oh god, Ava is online.

" but think "Oh cool, Ava is online: we can talk more about robot building/IRL/random crap." I an inching towards giving Ava one last chance...in which case...

This is probably the best step if he is allowed back. I will just say that it should be kept a close eye on him but let the past be the past. If he comes back, fresh start for him, fresh start for all of us that will associate with him: don't just bring up old stuff to start s***.

Overall, what the hell: I say let's give him one last shot!

I'm gonna expand on this. Nah. IIRC this wasn't even his first "permanent" ban.

It's best you don't know who he is/what he did. It's why they need a while post about it. It's not a matter of members it's a matter of will he make this community look bad in front of other people
