Avalanche may return (lol no)

[Mr. AS]

Now that the dust has settled, we can safely say that LRA2 is 100% confirmed unbanned soon.

Well, if we're letting people back from long-standing bans providing they've reformed, I'll straight up admit I'm TRiaS.

Not even joking.

Not even memeing, I am TRiaS.

Honestly, my reputation was/is strongly deserved. I was dealing with depression back when I started trying to troll the forum, and deliberately behaving like a retard was a form of entertainment for me, mainly because I was done with Robot Arena at the time. Looking back, it's cringe-worthy how much of a tryhard I was. I'm still far from being anything special at bot building (I still don't play all that much, but I got back into the game recently), but I have zero intentions of trying to cause trouble as I once did, and I genuinely do appreciate this community (deep down, I probably did back then too.)

I guess, like Mouldy, I grew up. I'm 21 now, and I'm going to study Psychology in University come September.

get a feel for community opinions


and lets make one more thing clear, nobody has said anything about a timeline involving this.

Both this vote and the vote on the like feature are redundant. What's the point in getting the feel for community opinions when you don't make decisions based on them? It feels like this 'generation' of moderators make changes because they can and Trov didn't. I admit I can't really say much when I attempted to change some tournament rules/organisation when I was a mod and I'm not even an active member of the community. Nevertheless, I still like to state my opinion.

[kill343gs]

Because it's nice to know that it isn't actually a resounding yes or a resounding no? The vote is close. That alone says something.

I really don't appreciate the attitudes in this thread acting like he's already here pissing in your frosted flakes. I've stated multiple times that I'm taking several things into consideration here, and I don't deserve to be treated like a piece of sh**.

[Enigm@]

i think this thread has done a good job of showing who's opinions should be considered and who's shouldnt in decisions for gtm's future

also to tom's comment "this generation of moderators", you do realize matt has been moderating this site for 10 years right?

Pretty much has always been the case on GTM history, however I don't see it happening with Avalanche/LRA2 anytime soon based on how his personality/attitude maturity level/whatever hasn't changed at all in the last 10 years lol, dude has had enough "last chances" in his life.

I'm out of the loop, but I think it's fair to put the LRA2 days behind him, he was like 9 years old or something, and we all act like retards online at that age.

I don't know enough about Avalanche's current behaviour so I don't have any opinion on the Avalanche situation, but I think yearly sitout periods for the worst people, especially if they're young, is a good metric to determine whether someone has matured enough. Seeing as he was permabanned back in October, I'd say wait until then before determining whether he's mature enough to be let back into the community. I think that's a fair compromise for those who want him to actually be punished, and those who eventually want him back in the community.

[Badger]

Thought: His original ban was for a year. By multiaccounting he got permabanned, which has lead to the conversation in this thread and the result of him being unbanned at some point in the future, possibly before that year ban would've expired.

tl;dr: lra2 multiaccounting to avoid his year ban could result in him getting unbanned earlier than if he hadn't multiaccounted.

edit: His original ban was for 6months, nvm

[09090901]

His original ban was for six months, not a year

[yugitom]

I really don't appreciate the attitudes in this thread acting like he's already here pissing in your frosted flakes.

He was banned to stop pissing in our frosted flakes. The argument that one shouldn't not want him back because he hasn't done anything sh** on the forum yet makes no sense because he's banned.

I don't deserve to be treated like a piece of sh**.

No-one is treating you that way. Where did this even come from?
