i agree with you john, kwaad isn't that bad really, Hus is the one terrorising everything that's not made by sony.

I haven't been here that long, but he didn't seem mean or offensive to anyone, and he certainly didn't go out of his way to flame anyone.

There was two sides to Kwaad, one where he was reasonable in arguing his point, and an other where he did cross the line just to tick people off. Personally the only thing that annoyed me about Kwaad was he always engineered his argument to an unreasonable degree in his favor. For example talking about Nintendo ruining the industry with a lack of deep games. And when it was argued that Zelda was a deep game, he simply exclaimed that he felt Zelda was not deep. Even if you didn't like it, come on, TP was the longest and deepest adventure in the best selling action rpg series of all time, you can just lump it in with Wii Sports as a casual short game. But I'm not getting into that argument just pointing at how one sided he was at times. Hus was definitly more of a problem, he's down right insulting to alot of people that simply gave him respectful answers. I think everyone on this website has been called ignorant by him. Or a kiddie fan. It's like we are here to have enjoyable constructive conversations, not to be insulted.

Either way I'm not longer weighing in on mods descisions, they get hammered either way for there work and that's not fair. Bans don't last forever, at least not the first one, so consider these people warned.

I try to like Kwaad, but he just makes it so damn hard.  One moment, you can have a decent, rational discussion with him and then the next, he's twisting facts and perverting logic.

 Hus on the other hand, rot in ban hell.

 Lol, this pretty much sums it up.  This thread can now be locked.

Yeah, Hus was just a straight-up troll, but Kwaad could be kinda acceptable when he was using real logic instead of baseless nonsense.

This was all ioi, but I agree with it.  I was surprised to see him banned, considering he had just made a couple reasonable posts, but he does also mess things up a lot...a week ban is fine with me.

John, just a little background here.

Kwaad was banned a month ago, when he was, just like now, partially contributing, but partially making threads to incite flames (IE Trolling) and then IN said threads, admitting he made those threads in order to "conduct an experiment".

 This time around, i have issue with his How Nintendo, thread. It is Patently obvious he started it in jest, in order to start another flamewar, and then on Page (2 i think) he makes 2 posts, stating "When i was younger i used to start fires" and "I love starting Fires" indicating he KNEW that the thread he had started, was for nothing more than to Fan the Flames, so to speak.

Thjis SHOULD be his second strike, and in MY opinion, his negative contributions, far outweigh the meagre positive he throws in as token contributions only.

 Kwaad has an agenda here, and we are allowing him to further it.

This is Kwaad's hero speaking. I personally think that Kwaad makes this site fun. At least he puts lots of effort into his posts, even the ridiculous ones, unlike other peeple....cough...Hus...cough. Many of the posts that happen on this site are a result of him. A permaban would be a mistake.

If he continues causing more Harm than Good, then no, a permaban would NOT be a mistake.
