I'm not ignoring that, I just think a forum ban is enough punishment.
I dont see why this part of human decency should be handled differently here than in a normal society. You have any good argument to make this case? Because so far all youre coming up with is its so small...
The most obvious argument is that for an internet community allowing someone to play in an event is not disruptive. In a normal society, allowing a dangerous person to participate in sporting events would indeed be a risk. Here it is not.
Additionally, our government is not exactly normal and because they are not being held to the same standards a normal society's government would, neither should community members. Neither party was treated fairly in this particular case.
And yes, the community is small. Not having Diarouga play will lose us viewers, will lose us players, and keeping this community healthy should be all of our first priority. There are a lot of personal feuds here, and we shouldn't let them affect the community.
And yeah some ppl want to see him play. Many others dont want to see someone play or play with a person who behaves like he does when he doesnt get his way. Ranging from threathening/blackmail to spreading hacks, slander and discrimination.
I don't think we're talking about the same amount of people here but sure. At least if he plays you have the choice to either watch his games or not, if he doesn't you don't. Anyway, people forget quickly, especially the ones not personally involved in Diarouga's "crimes" in any way.
You misunderstood the being past that part. I dont mean hes past redeeming himself, i meant hes already had a second chance, and afaik also a 3rd.
Okay, then I agree, but in my opinion this should not affect his ability to play in tournaments.
For me its simple, ppl keep talking about him being a top player, but such priviliges shouldnt even be a factor. Its a controversy now that diarouga cant play, but nobody cared that vitaoooo1 was banned, or moesbar and bpds.
As far as I know those are known cheaters, and it makes a lot of sense for a cheater to be banned from events.
I'll grant you that evilcheadar not being allowed to play is getting much less attention, which makes sense but we should address that, too. It's another good example of someone who was banned from an event for unrelated "crimes" which is a shame.
