in a democratic world this is the case.
let's say a judge was murdered, there's no way at the trial he could be the judge and part of the prosecution
;)

did you just use the example that someone that's murdered cannot be the judge of the trial of himself being murdered?

Venezuela,

I believe this is what he meant and it is very relevant in the following example.
I was saying this, because Erk got banned for life while playing against Sam (and after killing him). I truly believe this is wrong and other Mods should look into what really happened (and not only based on Sam words but from other players that were at the table, Erk included).

On a separate note, NO ACCOUNT should be BANNED FOR LIFE. We are not in Texas!
For certain players, a KDIce avatar is a few years work and is at the heart of the success of this game as these players represent KDIce more than anything else; Who would imagine banning Das for life?

I agree that generally speaking mods shouldn't ban for games they play in. There's always edge cases, but that seems like a good rule of thumb.

However, most gaming sites and multiplayer games have rules that will get accounts permanently banned. That this happens in general is nothing new and shouldn't surprise you. Disagreeing with the reason for the permaban is a different story, obviously.

FREE THE NIGGLER!

As a general rule, i never believed that because everybody else is doing it, then it is fine to do it.
As well, this is just a game and we should not take it too seriously so a permaban seems tough to me. For example, if Veta tried to benefit from the weakness of a system that was put in place, it is not a crime as there were no rules against it when he did it.

About Erk, I seriously believe that this should be looked into as Sam is definitely not a moderate Mod.

The same Sam who when i joined a table the other day was gloating that his 'best' insult was something to do with down syndrome kids.

A month earlier, he warned me under threat of banning that using the word 'faggot' was not acceptable.

So just so everyone is clear, you can hang shit on down syndrome kids but you can't call someone a fag.

iv'e seen sam use alot worse words then 'faggot' himself i mean read the reviews / bans he leaves is this acceptable of a mod?

he should be an ambassador for the game not a moron

Shut your fucking mouth and realize how much of a tool you are. Also refrain from using racist language. -chat -play MadHat_Sam 10:48 AM, Wednesday October 5, 2011 CDT

By the way Verm, it looks like you agree with me from one of your post...

The majority of people disagreeing doesn't make you wrong, but it does mean you should consider it.
