Bring back Eric

[Ban Hammer 13,483]

Yes

Restricted to a special "Eric" thread on OT

I actually know a cool website that has a "The Jailhouse (JAIL)" thread for when a person gets banned. Any banned members are free to post in that thread until their ban is lifted. Of course there are tens of thousands of members and posters so it works well for the website I am referring to.

I like the idea of jail for the 'bad boys' of VJ

platy for mod of that!

flawed poll - if you vote no, there is no option in the 2nd part that fits.

If you vote no, then it is YOU that is flawed (just kidding there)

For those of you who have, are in the process of, or planning to vote no, just make sure you vote no as the rest of poll really is superfluous if you are voting that way.

I think I should have immunity from ban.

Fail. You have to win the immunity challenge first n00b.

wrong, just wrong

I dont' think he's any worse than other users here. He's not a racist and he's trying to change. At least he's funny.

you obviously didn't read the same posts some of us have.

I'm sure you are right. He was here before me so I missed the bad stuff. Was his racism worse than BY's? I don't see what it would hurt to give him one more chance with a short leash and choke collar. One screw up, gone, end of story.

yeah I was going to say the same thing..

how easily some forget...

I wasn't aware of it. I think that was before I was here. I am not showing favoritism. Racism is wrong.

Just say yes.

Eric is banned, yes?

So he must have done something (or somethings ) , had some prior warnings (if I understand mod work and TOS ) , and chose to continue his actions.

He made a choice. Everyone lives with choices, Eric Included.

Now, I'm thinking, if ya wants him back, it's because ya like the guy..

But - yer liking a guy that did enough 'heinous activity' here (whatever that means ) for a mod or mods to take action against him.

Everyone has choices. It doesn't matter if you chose wrongly, the choice is still made. Eric made 'that choice' and now he's gone.

Now, I don't know Eric, I've not made time to read any of his posts - we never conversed on a regular basis, and actually no converse at all.

But if he's gone, there's a reason.

Anyone focusing on that reason, BESIDES the mods ?

Warmest Regards...

I think it's because you don't know him that you have no strong opinion of him, hence this poll is probably not for you (Hint: Vote yes anyway )

As for me, I never knew him on VJ (other than the IDs he created to circumvent his ban, which immediately got spotted and canceled).

I have gotten to know him reasonably well on Expats. I like him. He's amusing and nice and very , very lonely over there.

He claims he no longer cares about VJ and is past it, but it's pretty obvious that he really does want to be part of the community again.

I think he's realized that (a) he really can be kicked out (b ) he really doesn't want to be kicked out anymore.

That alone is probably enough incentive for him to behave.

I haven't seen him post anything on EP that wouldn't fit into the OT environment over here.

eric would spam his comments all over VJ OT...

.. bring him back or not.. i don't really care either way

[Niels Bohr 72]

I don't take things seriously here. That's it. No more VJ for me! I will be the VJ Nazi!

He was banned for spamming in the sense that he has so much time on his hands he simply has to respond to every single thread and normally with a comment about his #######.

What I think is utterly ridiculous is that those who now want him back on VJ (personally, I don't give a ####### one way or another) were the very same people that demanded he be straitjacketed on 'the other site' which ushered in rules and regulations and MODERATION on the other site which I vehemently apposed with every fiber of my being, only to be overruled by you guys who wanted Eric brought under control. Therefore, forgive me, but I think you guys are complete morons.

Eric WAS brought under control on EP.

Chill what? Just because my post isn't full of B) ?

Personally, I truly don't give a monkey's nuts what happens to him, I ignored him before he was 'brought under control' and I can ignore him if he comes back here. My only problem is that 'the other place' had to have moderation because you guys are incapable of ignoring him so I think it's hilarious that you want him back here.

It is hilarious. Same could be said of you engaging BY or Joe at every little turn. If you disliked them THAT much, why not just ignore him?

Anyway, Ewok will not have him back, but the thread has been fun

I don't dislike them, I thoroughly enjoy messing with them hence why I 'engage with them at every little turn' as you so charmingly phrase it. I do ignore people that I don't have any interest in but of course that's impossible to prove

Anyway, carry on. Enjoy your Eric thread. I've said what I wanted to say.

People change.... just look at charles. He's infinitely less douchy than he was even 3 months ago

now for some others to learn a douche bag isn't a fashion accessory

Are you sure it isn't one of those thingies with the long straps
