Ban Count

[Piotr]

Consider this my formal resignation of my "hand" powers.

Thank you for all your help as the Hand here.

...boring conversation anyways...

LUKE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE COMPANY!

I appreciate your joke, but please do not shoot first

What post is this?

[AdamS]

^ after stating my proof im done with the argument to avoid being ban i was just stating that in the past as proven by my quoted post you have said it doenst matter if i misinterpreted that i am sorry and i dont plan on posting anything else on this matter

[AdamS]

kaalia with haste that is in the help section i will bump it for you

[KILLERBEE]

Post a quote to defend your argument
Aaannnnddd it's gone!

Or "your gone", whatever's funnier.

[AdamS]

well i wasnt trying to get ban by posting proff im just saying that by my understanding of the post that him saying karma didnt matter was my understanding and that i wasnt trying to lie in the post i was told was a lie. not trying to further my arguement im just trying to say that i wasnt lieing. an analogy that i can think of is

if you tell a colorblind person that the sky is green they will believe that as the truth even though the sky is really blue so is he liein when he tells others that the sky is green? the answer is both yes and no by his understanding the sky is truely green so to others he is lieing because it is blue but to himself he is telling the truth because he believes the sky is green.

Punctuation is a good thing.

you know that he was just proposing a poll, and listed the options for people to vote, right? the one you quoted was one of the options he made available. he wasnt stating that. Why not just letting it go man.. dont keep adding wood to the fire.. its not helping anyone

no i didnt realize that it was for a poll i thought that was his opinion on karma. so i guess i was wrong and i misunderstood the post :/

piotr i apologize for misunderstanding what you ment in that post i apologize for "lieing" about the thing i misunderstood and it wont happen again

To be honest this is all dumb. It seems like Piotr has a little taste of power and is riding it for what he can get out of it. If everyone started "rebelling" (which you can't really do here, I mean what's the worst you can do? Leave the forum? Huge impact that has) it would further validate his stance of superiority he sees himself having. People "misbehaving" is only an excuse to exercise power, which he enjoys having.

Someone does something I see as acting up? Boom, banned or warning of a ban. See? I am in charge.

Honestly the best solution is to treat him like the distant step-grandfather you see only on holidays. Tell him what he wants to hear to keep him happy. He's not really that big a part of your life anyway and it's too much trouble to start anything.

Anyways, just my two cents.

Or frequent sites that have everything this one does: the mothership forums and mtgsalvation. You never see the communities there having issue or being banned by the admin or mods. They follow logic, not emotion, when someone disagrees with them. 

[yugornot]

Yeah, but this forum's pretty unique. I mean the app itself isn't anything special by any means. But it's the community that keeps people here. We all know piotr's a little off. But to be honest If I got banned I'd just dummy up a new email address and a new profile. People here are pretty cool and there are good discussions about magic. Plus it's personal on a level you just don't get on the big forums.

[Distriimuir]

I guess, I have multi year friends on those forums. Some of them admins or mods. Just saying if so many people have an issue with Piotr, there are other magic centric forums much larger an more interactive.
