Should be unpermabanned. His voice is desperately needed in these times.

For repeated flamebaiting in various domains, forums, threads, but most often of all, directly against mods and admins. Meeze has received warnings in the past for his posts against other users to precede this.
I Disagree. Once your banned, your banned, no special treatment.
It's an announcement, not feedback.
BBT was permabanned, I'm citing precedence.
I still disagree though. And I will continue to disagree. Meeze should never be allowed back. Nobody who has been banned should be allowed back, or did policies change while I wasn't looking?
The idiocy has been allowed to run unchecked for too long.
Sorry to break it to you, Gerry. Meeze isn't pink anymore. He's able to post in LS areas and there's also been another person who was banned in the past that has recently been allowed to come back to the boards. Policies didn't change when you weren't looking, you just weren't really aware of the policies. I can understand how you might not get along with someone like Meeze.
Also BBT requested to be banned, vs. someone who was actually banned for flamebaiting continuously. I disagree, that Meeze should be allowed to come back to the public boards, just because someone who requested a ban was allowed back.

So basically the boards term for "Permanent Ban" is exactly like the UK's term of "Life Sentence" in Jail. Just PERFECT! :nono:
Think "life sentence" everywhere is like that.
Meeze is better than half the crap we want banned here anyways, wouldn't bug me to see him back.
I'm sure people who have been on this board for a significant time would understand I don't need the windy results that are linked to certain neo type events with S.Troys everywhere.
BBT barely ever used the boards, and hasn't been on since the permaban. Meeze uses them. Meeze creates excitement. Meeze actually posts in the FFXI forums as well. Meeze also knows more about melee equipment than 99% of the userbase.
We need Meeze. I need Meeze.
BBT's situation was basically him asking us to permaban him so he didn't have to deal with this site anymore. We obliged, and now he came back and asked that we unban him. We had a discussion on it and really, it's sort of experimental. I don't even think I've seen him post since we unbanned him but I could be wrong.
meeze's ban was a little bit different. It got to the point where we had to take a step back and try to weigh which what action would better the board. Sadly, it was decided that banning him would be the best thing for the boards. Now I have worked with meeze a little bit regarding the status that he's on now. And I think we have a decent understanding. He can still browse the forums but is really only allowed to post in his own private linkshell areas.
While I want to be able to say we are willing to work with people who have been banned and get them straightened out and back on the boards, I will be honest and say there are a few people I just plain don't want to have to deal with. I'm sure people who have been on this board for a significant time would understand I don't need the windy results that are linked to certain neo type events with S.Troys everywhere.
