Guys, if stuff like this keeps coming up to the surface, we're gonna be in for another memorable summer.
He works for Nike now. Once you take an industry job, you have to step down from the staff to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. We stay in touch, however, and he's doing great. I wish I could say the same for his Warriors. That's just it: we're not going to consider whether or not someone's a "net positive" in spite of bad behavior. I've actually had people try to argue, "yeah, I know I can be a jerk but I think on balance I'm good for the site." That's unacceptable. We can't be expected to look the other way on disrespectful behavior because somebody thinks of themselves as a valuable "personality" to have on the site. That's beyond arrogant. Do I look like David Stern to you? There's no "star calls" on NikeTalk. If you're not going to treat other users with respect then you don't deserve to post here. It's as simple as that. LULZ
posting here. if you don't see me in 24 hours you'll know something happened to me. I wish you all a very fond farewell if this is my last
You're trying way too hard, Regis. You've done more dirt than JRose5 and you're still posting here, aren't you? What do you think we'd find if we cracked open your inboxes? Technically, JRose5 didn't break any rules on NikeTalk's forums itself, but his actions were not befitting of a staff member and we responded accordingly. Users were encouraged to report the incidents to Yuku's staff, since they're the only ones capable of implementing a global ban and preventing users from sending PMs. Where our forums were concerned, we kicked him off the staff immediately after the PMs in question could be verified, but the initial idea was to give him the opportunity to post an apology. This request was made via the staff board, when he was still a member at the time. He never took us up on our offer to allow him to explain himself to us as a community and insisted, however implausibly, that someone had hacked his account. I didn't give him a hard deadline to post an apology, so as the days went on we had other matters to attend to and there were no alarm bells sounding to remind me to terminate his accounts. We never saw him around the site and his staff access was pulled, so there was no impetus. In hindsight, should he have been banned? I guess, but would you rather he have been posting here 20 times per day under some alias? He was off the staff and no longer a functional part of the community. Wasn't that the entire point? As it worked out, you've been banned more times than he's posted in the last few years. In truth, he's had it a lot rougher than you because we held him, as a staff member, to a much higher standard. If you want, I'll give you three boring posts nobody cares about under one of your banned names, but then you have to vanish forever. Still think you got a raw deal? You can put that popcorn away, you're already full of salt. Of course it's gone. People decided to act like clowns on a board that had no remaining purpose. It was a test board with a ridiculous default theme and a handful of admins saying "testing 1 2 3." That needs to be kept around for your amusement? You guys already saw everything there was to see there. If you think that's exciting stuff, I feel very sorry for you. That's the road alternate.

You seem bothered. I dont see where I complained about a raw deal. All I did was point out a simple contradiction...nothing more, nothing less.

Meth, a question on a completely unrelated topic. How much time (percentage-wise) does NT take out of your day?
