The Reinstatement of Sakura

Recommended Posts

Last week, a poster by the name of Sakura was banned in the No Holds Barred folder (now Hardcore Discussion) for wishing death on the poster The Mighty Damaramu.

 

They were in the middle of a heated discussion in the WWE folder where the subject of wishing death on Vince McMahon became a running gag. She posted a thread entited "I wish death on Damaramu" in her first post in NHB and was banned for it.

 

She since made her plea to myself and the mods based on the fact that she didn't know that was against the rules (since it wasn't in the Rules & Regulations and never went into NHB and the thread was clearly a joke) and the mods and I have decided that she will be allowed back in.

 

This will be the last time something like this will occur. There have been too many incidents where people have confused "No Holds Barred" to mean that anything goes and that is certainly not the case.

This kinda sets a bad precedent.

Yea well, its Dames board...he should do what he wants. He is paying.

Indeed I am paying for it, so any flack should go right to me.

 

As for the "bad precedent", I'm trying to correct things, not make it worse. Now there should be no confusion anymore and I know for a fact that she knows better.

Oh yea, I agree with you too, I just see Dames side too.

I understand that wishing death is now considered a no no.

 

What about "I will kill *insert name*". What I'm asking is...can will tell someone we will kill them or have them killed.

I think that if wishing death on a poster is a bannable offense, then wishing death on ANYONE (athlete, actor, wrestler, politician, etc.) should be one, as well.

Bring back the Gheyme.

 

While I think he was kinda joking, Tigger does have a point. I was never a fan of Game, but it does seem screwy if he stays banned for a similar incident. I know Game used hostile intent with his thread, but as you said "it wasn't in the Rules & Regulations."

The difference between Game and Sakura is that Game was fully aware of the rule and had been warned in the past for various violations.

WHAT THE FUCK??

 

That's the weirdest thing I've seen today, and I just came from a Primus show.

All I can say is I was waiting for this.

 

Sorry to anyone on the board if I'm just sounding like whatever (I can't think of the word), but really, even I wasn't clarified on the whole "banned if you say someone will die" until I read that thread she created and found out that was what she was banned for. And nothing else. I mean, you should've seen me going "um... But I've stated in joking something like that in the NBA Fantasy Thread" yet here I was/am. Shouldn't I have been banned too?

 

Just cutting out to say, that yes, I know that Game said the same thing and he was banned, but I also know (from speaking with him via AIM) that yes, in fact, he was warned about previous offenses, so I figured that on top of the "death of ----" he got booted.

 

Back to the topic, I don't care for the rule. Really don't. I think it's a silly rule personally. Sure, wishing someone's death is lowballing it, but come on. How often do you actually mean it? Rarely. And come on, how often not do you say it in spite? I have done it to my own family members no less. Do I regret it afterwards? Of course, and I've always apologized to the people I've offended with it. I mean, yah, it's not the greatest thing on a messageboard, BANNING? Call me unimpressed and frankly wondering how that ALONE makes it ok for a person's banning?

Quite frankly, I don't think we need fuckwits running around here saying 'fuck you I hope you die', despite what context it is in. It's not funny and it's the lowest form of insult I know of (before going into racial slurs etc. of course).

You smell conspriracy and I smell favortism. Dames I know it's your board and I have said this to you COUNTLESS times but when stuff like this occurs and you take back something that has been set, it doesn't look good on your part. Think about it, how long before something else happens, and you decide to be wishy washy on your decision.

 

One more thing, what is the point of having "The OFFICIAL TSM Rules and Regulations,

Please read before posting" if people can get away with the excuse of "Oh I didn't know I didn't read the rules".

Eh...she's friends with Dames. He even said when she got banned that he didn't want it to happen.

Oh well favoritism rules out over the rules. Whatever. I saw it coming a mile away.

I don't really give a fuck anyways. Not like she can do much to me anyways.

So, can we get "wishing death on annother poster is an automatic ban" put into the rules now?

 

edit: just read the new rules

I understand and respect your decision to bring her back, but even then, will she really take up the offer? I never had any major problem with her, but I see nothing but a big bullseye painted on her if she comes back after this incident with a couple different posters taking close aim.
