I made some genuine members quit because they disagreed with what I did. Mods here maybe you should think about this before continuing. Perhaps a poll or something like that on if people want him back? I don't see why that is out of the question as if the members want something aren't you here to give it to them? Even when Americans want something bad people in the government tend to help out with that sort of thing. Thats just my outlook on things.
So using that logic, if I want some ice cream Shaunj66 has to go out and buy me ice cream, then drive all the way over to where I live to give it to me?
Way to take something far to literally, what I meant was if all the members wanted a new section in the forums the mods and admins would be glad to help out. Or if they wanted a new banner, or a new theme, ect ect ect. If they want a member back who was doing nothing to HURT the site I think that there should be some way for the members to decide on if he can come back or not.

Just because we are on the internet doesn't mean that the ways rules work changes. If someone in reality say found the solution for world hunger this would help millions of people but if he then went out and outright murdered someone he would still be punished the same way a anyone else. The reasoning behind this is that everyone is equal in rights in the eye of the law.
This guy broke the rules and he was punished, does it matter what the rule was, he may not of hacked into the forum but that doesn't stop him breaking rules. The mods do not show favouritism when coming to punishments. No mthrnite didn't hate him or have anything against him he did his job, which is to punish rule breakers. if you don't believe me go and make 4 accounts and see what happens, yes you will get banned.
People are getting worked up about a work around for a Ds game, yes a video game, and it wasn't even for the (U) rom it was just a translation. Also people are remembering that they are asking for something that will be helping them bypass Anti-Piracy which will be applied to an illegally obtained rom ( yes backups are illegal even if you have millions of copies of the retail you don't have permission to back it up ) and I know people are going to reply to this saying I have the original and I just want the fix to save space, your lying, I'm sure that there is a small majority who are in this position but I know that these are the people who are not complaining and are waiting patiently for a firmware update or a universal patch
Going back to my point before people are moaning at Mthrnite but I'm sure the other mods would of banned him if they were in that position it was just up to mthrnite and I think he did the right thing. People have already said that he is on a Rom forum now still updating the translation and so you don't have to act like its the end of the world, jut google him or wait until it finished and I'm sure some noob will post it on here going OMG OMG ITS FINISHED
As a side note most of the people complaining have either joined when pokemon was dumped or nether posted until now and now thing they now everything on the forums and thing that they are owed something . No Gbatemp owes you nothing and it is a privilege which I thank Costello, Shaun, Ace and every other staff for keeping it going.
Now stop moaning and get on with your life, if you don't like how this place is run then leave

So if I wanted a section just for porn, and everyone wanted it too, that means I'll get it?

It's been said before and I'll say it again: GBAtemp is not a democracy.

That is a terrible way to look at it, it would be more like if someone found the cure to world hunger and then decided to pretend he was the president for the week. Except everyone knew he was pretending to be the president so it was okay. That kind of made the rest of your argument useless to me.

Why would it, he wasn't banned for impersonating Rykin, that just made it worse, the main reason he was banned was because of his multiple accounts

Loses what? E-cred? I doubt it (not that e-cred has much value to begin with anyway).
QUOTE(ZackVee @ Mar 21 2010, 04:30 PM) Yes and according to the rules they should have just banned the duplicate accounts and not all of them.
