Regardless of rules, regardless of medium, lying like this is not okay. The internet is a form of communication like any other. I've met people on GBAtemp that I trust more than I do people in my own life. People like TrolleyDave. Devin, and exangel continue to prove that there are real people, with real stories everywhere on this digital world. Other's experiences may be different, but I feel like there is a line that should never be crossed, and this was one of them. I feel like the last three weeks here has been a goddamned episode of Southpark, and I'm not a happy camper. I'm sorry that I can't be a skeptical cynic like the rest of you, but I think that trust has to start somewhere. Xuphor's behavior is inexcusable, and while I think the second chance is up to the moderation staff, I do not agree with it.
I second this. Not because it affects me in any way, but because that means that others could do the same shit and go seemingly unpunished.
