Yeah, I have a feeling there will be more than one person.Originally Posted by Raistlin
I completly agree. No one should get above the rules.
We should all be treated equally, and punished equally.
Thanks to Sagensyg for the sig!
Well, I'm one of the Staffers that totally disagrees with this, but my arguments didn't seem to go very far. I am extremely disappointed in this decision, especially after I had to ban HOOTERS and take all of that flak for banning Peter and not banning Bert. Yes, Kishi is EoFF, but that shouldn't put him above any other member in cases like this. This is the straw that's going to break my back.
I'm leaving Staff because of this (actually, there are a few other reasons as well, but I won't go into those here) and the only reason I'm posting that decision in this thread is so that everyone knows exactly why I'm doing it so no one has to wonder about why I left. No Former Staff title for me please because that would just be a mockery.
Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
Leeza: you and I have had our disagreements in the past, but I truly admire you for this.
This completely pisses me off. I've banned him twice now, and see he is unbanned again. Now, anyone who knows me at all knows I love Kishi as much as the next person. But rules are rules, and porn is porn. I don't care who would have posted it, I'd've banned them, and kept them banned.
Since apparently EoFF is porn-savvy now, I should go dig out my collection.
Yeah, I really am admiring what everyone is doing.
Of course, this makes me worry for the reputation and future of the forums. I'd hate for them to go to hell just like that.
Thanks to Sagensyg for the sig!
chaos: I agree with pretty much agree with everything that has already been said. i have a lot of respect for Kishi, (And a lot of other banned members as well) but if you break the rules, you're gone. Simple as that, right?
Rubedo: Meh, I'm not going to go on with that whole "disgusted" tarade. It's just a forum, after all.
What about Bert? Or Gokufusions? If dumbasses can not get banned for worse things than a picture by a renowned anime artist, what's wrong with Kishi? You have to prove you're not biased? Great, that's even worse.
Everyone on staff admitted that Bert was a mistake, and that he should have been banned. I don't know about the other guy.
EDIT: I'd also just like to point out that staff doesn't have to "prove" anything - they are, well at least are supposed to be, unbiased and objective, and apply the rules fairly and equally for all members.
He's not banned, though.
Neither is Kishi. Problem solved.
Hardly. What about all those others banned for inappropriate images?Originally Posted by MecaKane
Proto just explained Goku. I'd also like to point out that Kishi wasn't banned for a similar instance a long time ago when he linked to a seanbaby page which had porn on it. EDIT: According to BoB. Kishi says he doesn't remember this.
Bert "slipped through the cracks"(Leeza's words, I believe), not because of who he was, but just because he did. Kishi should be not acquitted just because of who he is.
The issue should be judged on the facts, the "merits of the case" as the legal system puts it, and not because of who the person is who did it.
