If you have read all the posts from the last couple of days in this thread, then you know that I proposed that you should be given a fair chance for a new start. The vast majority of people on VGC wouldn't be so nice and rather see you getting dragged to the chopping block as fast as possible.

What you have displayed since my proposal was made strongly indicates that you have no sincere desire to change your ways. You are already right back to playing the victim. You aren't even refraining from accusing me of bias when it comes to judging such situations.

You and Kerotan truly are alike. I do not think the community can expect any sort of change coming from either of you. But the community can expect the mod team to address the recurring problems with you two getting addressed. You and Kerotan aren't really failing the community; you two can't help yourself to be any better, that's just who and how you are. It's the mod team that is failing the community by not being able to implement any long term solutions to these recurring problems that concern you and Kerotan. All the community ever gets is some discussion in this thread and some vague responses by the mod team that ultimately bring all of us back into this thread a few months later and everything repeats. We've been here before and we'll probably be here again.

Sounds like an interesting idea for a thread. Of course its results wouldn't determine whether you get banned or not, but it would be helpful to reflect on where you stand.

All of this feels familiar...

Carl is the best mod. The only one who ever comes out in cases like this and explicitly states his desire to serve the community. Unfortunately, the rest of the mod team ties his hands and that shows in Carl's growing frustration regarding how things are being handled here.

On a related note, today p0isonparadise (who posted multiple daily updates for Amazon rankings for months) has stepped down for reasons that link directly to quickrick.

I'd like to hear from the mod team why they value disruptive members like quickrick higher than regular contributors of sales updates, and if that isn't the case, why they aren't or haven't been taking the necessary steps to make these forums a better place or at the very least maintain its level of quality. This situation isn't anything new, because we've already had multiple members who stopped posting in the past because of Kerotan's antics.

EDIT: It's weekend, so the above paragraph was worded a bit too harsh considering these circumstances. Apologies for my impatience.

I... I... I don't know what to say. I am devastated... heartbroken... disappointed...
