FlareStorm Registered: Nov '00	Date Posted: 1/4 8:11pm Subject: Unbanning waves
	I've noticed, as a regular and respected poster here, someone tends to unban a lot of people at once. It is hard to offer proof without naming names, but I'm sure regular posters will back me up. I have, myself (FlareStorm), had this phenomenon happen to me. I had a sixth month sentence but I suddenly found myself unbanned after two, along with a bunch of other criminals. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth (THAT MEANS STAY ON TOPIC), but we've had another wave of high profile people all of a sudden back. My question is, who is making this decision? <--- (THAT IS MY QUESTION MALKIE)

	Well I've never noticed "waves" of unbanning going on - Even when I was in MS. These things (longer terms bans) are always decided on a case by case basis - Both the length of the ban and if its going to be cut short for whatever reason. -----signature----- I felt a great disturbance in the force. As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror. Then were suddenly silenced.

	If the culprit is not revealed in a satisfactory manner (ie a mod resignation and the implementation of a new mod appraisal process) then the walls of our community will no doubt fall. We shall be invaded, and all will be much worse than before. -----signature----- efc = 12th Manchester United vs Everton - 21st November Hull City vs Everton - 25th November Everton vs Liverpool - 29th November

	I don't understand the question. I must've missed the apparent wave of banned users that returned en masse. -----signature----- If you have any questions about Christianity and/or Jesus, I'd love to talk to you. Please PM me.

	To the extent that surprising unbannings occur close together, I think you may be seeing something like this: Banned_User_X: Dear MS. Sry for being a schmuck. I got better. I can haz site access? MS: K. Active Users To Friends Off Site: OMG! OMG! You will not believe who they just unbanned!!!11 732 Banned Friends: Hey, if they'll unban him, they'll unban anybody! I better write in now, while they're in a good mood!! MS: WT*? We just wanted the one guy back--not every friend he used to troll with 5 years ago! Denied. Denied. Denied. Denied. Denied. Denied. Denied. Meh, this 'un's not so bad. Denied. THE END. This production was brought to you by the letters JCC and the number of months that have passed since I had any idea what MS was actually doing. Any resemblance to actual MS policy, living or dead, is purely coincidental. -----signature----- In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps with your mom
