Spooky opinion

[The_Drunken_One]

If you're referring to Suns' post, I understand where you're coming from, his post was a lengthy and detailed one highlighting his realisation of his 'crimes', admitting his guilt and apologising. I don't agree so much with the "It was the old me, I was younger, I'm more mature" But it's been two years and if someone is still trying to get unbanned two years later they clearly wish to play again and just might of learnt their lesson, these things should be taken into account.

That's the first opinion i don't see any lecture, thanks for saying what you think lol. 
Im staff member of many Gmod communities mostly RP servers (RG, AN, WG, Phoenix Project). If someone would reach out and apologize for something they did years ago, we lett them rejoin the community unless it was hacking. I think hackers deserve permaban because they basically disrespecting everything and always end up ruin the game for others.

That is not entirely accurate, I think people are more inclined to show their true nature on the interwebs, for better or worse. A person who wouldn't call you a pigheaded baboon to your face would find it much easier to do so online. About spooky movies, The Ring gave me spooks


Not everyone can respond in an appropriate manner if they have not yet learned how to respect people and the rules online and just minge around. I think when people grow older they think more and get to regret things and try to make up for it, it is only to others if they are willing to accept it and maybe even help or just choose to be a savage.

The Ring gave me the spooks too. "You weren't supposed to help her."

Anyway, I think you misunderstood me. The comparison of punishment to a prison is apt, and even if it wasn't, the other comparison to parents and children should be fine for you too. But this is all irrelevant, NI is a privilege and not a public right.

Concerning people gaining respect by growing older, this is not necessarily the case. It's due to the amount of social interactions a given person has had. While this number may increase over time, it's not a given that simply growing older guarantees more interactions and thus maturity. For example, there are many adults on the autism spectrum due to having had fewer than average or median number of social interactions. Finally, we're not talking about rehabilitation over a long course of time. In a hypothetical situation of about 3 years, in which a person was an early adolescent at the start of this interval, that person would still be an adolescent at the end of that time. Furthermore, it's been shown with magnetic resonance imaging that the brain doesn't fully develop until 25 anyway. By definition, an adolescent that is currently, let's say 16 years old, would still be 9 years away from fully developed mentally.

You mention regret, and that brings up an interesting question: is it regret over their actions, or over the consequences? A hypothetical person once apologized to me over their actions and then quickly repeated them. Regret over actions would imply that they would not have carried out other actions that had similar effects, yet they did. Don't answer that question, by the way. It's rhetorical.

Yes most communities have privileges but that does not mean they have to be savage and hold grudges for things what people did years ago, I think they should be above that.
People should not compare made up rules with the rules of the law that is used in real life, that would mean perma ban is death sentence, how you gonna know when he/she died, that's just insane if you ask me, this brings us back to the ''have privileges part'' i guess were all irrelevant *sad face*

You are talking too much in lectures for me, i have no idea what your opinion really is.


''is it regret over their actions, or over the consequences?'' The only way to find out is to really know the person
If you post anything else than your opinion or something above the average human IQ level i will scream.

I've read some unban requests including mine and i just don't get it that some ppl wont get unbanned for something they did while they were younger! After months you can still hold grudges against them (also me). Why don't you just soften up a bit and let ppl try ehhh.


Hope i still have my account after saying my OPINION.

Man, I started this mod on a young age as well. I think I was 14 or 15. I did so many mistakes as well and I've been punished with a 25% reset. But I guess I know where we have our differences. I knew when I had to stop. Since the day I've been punished with that reset I've never ever done anything that was against the rules again. Atleast I can't remember. If you did so much shit in time you played that you got punished with a Perm Ban, It has to be the shit of the shit you have done. You know, its not that the devs decide "Yeah, that dude is quite shit..lets ban him" They have a reason given by yourself while doing shit. You had your chance to behave in a good way but you failed and apparently you have to deal with the consequences. Btw, I'm pretty sure you have received any other warnings or smth. like that before your last punishment so you had enough chances to stop.  So you are right, its pretty hard to get a second chance. For your future, learn how to behave and you won't get in trouble

Thanks for your opinion that was uhm something
