I know of nobody to come back from a permaban.

A permanent ban is, you know, permanent.

Bad Stravo, not a thing I want to think of at this time of night(Lurking when he was in full force was astounding in a very bad way)...oi

Either way, no.

If you get to a perm-ban...it's because you've pushed one too many buttons a little too far.

I remember him as a really bad whiner, and I would believe him if he said he's changed, but I say the ban stays unless he actually announces that he wants to come back and won't do anything bad. And he'll have to apologise for taking quotes out of context, which is what got him banned in the first place.

I say no. He contributed nothing but whining and idiocy. I personally think he should remained banned as he wasn't a worthwhile member to begin with.

No way. Banning isn't something an admin does lightly, it is something an admin is forced to do after the said admin has warned, told off and asked the user to stop. Eddy wasn't very grate as it tuend out and considering the posts and the questions raised on the troll who started this thread Eddy should stay banned.

It's a permament ban. Forever. All eternity. Never ending. You do not get unpermament banned. That's the point.

Letting him back in would defeat the purpose of a permanent ban, so no on principle.

It was a permban, so it should be permanent, and anyways, changing all his views like that all of a sudden looks a bit suspicious to me.

That's not the point. He made enough mistakes to earn him the ban in the first place, and we're not talking about quoting pictures or linking to porn, now are we?
He willfully tried his best to piss people off, and it worked.
Perma-bans are permanent.

Okay, Eddy wants to know:
What did I do that was so bad? I don't remember doing anything that bad. I quoted someone as saying that racial profiling is good and I realize that was wrong. They did say it, though. I want to know specifically was I did that was so bad and why i didn't receive a warning.

Ask Eddy boy if his dick reaches his ass. If he say no then he can't come back, if he says yes then tell him to go fuck himself.

Okay, so he's just really stupid. Big improvement.

It has far more features than any other I've seen. I can't understand why they can't give a second chance. Is it religious discrimination? A desire to keep the no-unbannings tradition? Are they easily offended? I think a second chance is not only a good idea, but quite reasonable. All I'm asking for is a second chance. Even a probationary unabanning would be acceptable.

He didn't make mistakes; he deliberately misquoted people for purposes of slandering them. He was an utter moron, a pain in the ass, and a complete fucktard. We warned him about his behaviour but didn't change.

It's damn fair and he earned it. Tell him it's done with it and the answer is no. Begging via surrogate will do him no good.

thanks for the replys, I will convey them to him. I told him to try asking Mike directly, I'll let him hear a big "NO!" from the board's head honcho..

He underwent a few temp-bans before the permaban, did he not?
