*Groans in obvious pain . . .
For every actual spam post Hibiki makes he posts ten containing a sensical (if not poorly spelled) idea. Which is more than I can say for some of you. He spams, but so do all of us, even VT and iG have been known to spam within limits. I myself do it, frequently enough to be noticed. No one is perfect neither is Hibiki, he just has a giant bullseye on his head. :S
Yes he got banned, and probably for good reason, but that's no reason to celebrate. Do you need someones misery to make you happy? No, you don't. Just go on enjoying the forums, add Hibiki to your ignore lists if you like. Hell, sometimes I want to slap him about vigorously, but I never, NEVER gloat over a ban. It's a distasteful action reserved for those who can't control themselves. Hibiki probably needed this to keep him in line, and that's fine. Saying your glad he's banned is just moronic. He never flamed anyone that bad that didin't flame him to get it started.
Finally this thread was to serve as an example, which all of you, excluding iG, Cheeseman and Chimpbot (and a few others if I forgot you), turned into a flame broil. Not a frendly friars club roast, but a friggin' deep fry . . . you should all be ashamed. I'm closing this topic because the first four post contained the pertinant information. The rest is lame attempts to kick Hibiki while he's down. :\
It's rule number one of the forums people, show respect, whether you want to or we make you. Hibiki broke that rule, now learn the lesson and don't break it yourself.
As post scripts:
Deverz, your comment was uncalled for. My defence of him was warranted and the staff forum was the place to voice your opinions, not here. I gave EVERYONE the option to challenge it with sound logic. No challenges were forthcoming.
Judge, reducing his post count would do nothing, he'd get it back in a few months. Not to mention, as Chimpbot pointed out, it's a useless gesture.
Firefly, I (and the other administrators) can and will ban any IP number or numbers to keep disruptive individuals out. No dynamic IP number can save you from being banned by IP.
iG, I apologize for closing this thread, but the tarring and feathering has gone a bit too far.
