Title: Rkane
Description: an announcement...
Bunk Moreland - October 27, 2009 01:42 PM (GMT)
After much discussion between us mods we’ve decided to allow Rkane back on GW.
We made a mistake in allowing ILT to come back after his racist PM towards Rkane and then another mistake in allowing him to come back after his offensive post about GP’s dad, he created a new username and ‘personality’ and it soon became clear that he wasn't fooling anyone.
We feel that Rkane’s outburst towards ILT and his disability a month ago was a one-off and it came from his frustrations of us mods not dealing with certain situations appropriately. It was out of context with his – Rkane’s – character and personality and he has since made several, genuine apologies to all of us via the GW Mods hotmail account.
What Rkane said that night was unacceptable and appalling, he even acknowledges this himself and as a result is currently serving a ban that will be lifted on the 1st of November, and I think this is the longest temporary ban any poster, certainly an established poster has faced.
Rkane will be allowed to post on GW from the 1st of November and it goes without saying that his posts will be monitored by all five of us mods.

Seems a little unreasonable to let one back and not the other considering ILT had reason for his supposed 'racist' pm.

That may have something to do with it although it was against all disabled people and not just ILT.
Banning him was the right thing to do.
Bringing him back isnt.

Yeah well in my experience disabled people are too touchy about such things.
Its fine that ginger, lanky, speccy, spotty and fatty all get picked on but just because you have Garbage pale stickers in your wheelchairs wheel spokes makes you off limits?? Fuck that

He was asked to stop before being banned.
For future reference, we won't be banning regular posters from now on.
I've created a 'SinBin' group which they will be put in if need be while we decide what to do whether that be a temporary or permenant ban.

Sorry but he purposely went after somebody on the forum across most sections, I can't and will not tolerate that.

Agreed Mac.
Still, if the others want to make the wrong decision and allow him back, what can you do eh?

Rkane is sound.
I just hope all the water is under the bridge now and his return goes smoothly as possible.

Well, unless another user follows him around all the sections of the board and starts abusing him cos they're a little crying bitch.

Which pre-supposes that two posters did exactly the same thing and have the same history of such things on here.
Which is never the case.

To be fair the decision making process in the admin of this place is horrific at best. Any site that allows people like GAry and KK to be mods wants shutting down

It does indeed.
It also supposes that you dont mind ignoring the rules you were oh so intent on trying to enforce not so long ago.
What a shocker? Oh, no.

What constitutes a 'regular poster'
Is it done by post count or how in the clique they are ;)
