with all due respect to arditezza...
in instances like this where a clear violation of the rules has occured, a poll is not the way to go. one should instead make the case to the administration. outline the transgression (s) and demand that action be taken. at the very least, a response addressing one's concerns is required.

I did take it to the administration first, and recieved no response what-so-ever. That's why I started the poll.
 
thanks goofy, but out of curiousity, what was it that got him the 30 day ban

im not saying you shouldn't, just that i didnt see what he did wrong and so wanna know

this is all coming out the wrong way, so ill shut up before i offend too many people
 
Also, most voted against the ban. Does that mean that whatever we vote for it's all meaningless?

I don't really care, I'm just asking.
 
No, it means that the moderators and of course Porfiry have a right to act on their own when they have a good reason.
 
Yes, I understand that creating "about nine new names" for the Pseudoscience mod election was a serious violation and really gets her the ban. But still, most voted not to ban her!

Meh, I get your point, I agree with it.
 
I think somewhere it said Rappa is a she. Might not be. Not like it makes a difference.
 
Wait, there's a debate about Rap's gender...I'd guess male. I think it's his old Mortiis avatar saying that to me tho. It haunts me :eek:
 
If I was banned for thirty days, I might as well be banned forever.... I honestly don't think I'd bother coming back where I was clearly not wanted.

i think it is great that an example has been set. however after serving the sentence, why the added penalty of disenfranchisement? is rap an assured threat to the electorate? how does one figure that out? is it not possible the boy could evolve?

is there a procedure one can follow in order to be put back on the voter rolls?

as a lark, lets see how sciforums shapes up to others...

in america, 42 states restore felons rights once time has been served. 8 other states do not give back that privilege. in the case of florida, felons are restricted from working certain jobs and collecting some benefits, such as financial aid for school

in 18 euro states, INCARCERATED felons retain their vote. 2 states in the usa (maine and vermont) also give their felons the same privilege.

oh, almost forgot, so does CANADA.

* i will stop before this turns into a rant about nazis :)
 
yeah, but Hathor, sciforums doesn't have the death penalty... so we gotta compensate for a lack of that somehow :p
