Teh amnesty thread

[Pliablemoose]

How do you all feel about the possibility of granting amnesty for those banned outside of the spamming rules and FS/FT scammers?

I know it'd take forever to sort through the list, but I think it would be a grand gesture.

That's quite the large request.

Nah, let's keep the drama level down, I'd love to see the "unban XXX" stuff just go away after a careful consideration of amnesty for banned members.

Who would go through that list? Looks like a few weeks of work to me.

The FS/FT folks would have to weed out the bad traders first off, then some of the more progressive senior mods should probably take a few Xanax each & start in on the list. :laugh:

Just have a server admin pull only users with more than 500 posts.

Great! P&N just isn't the same without CAD and Bowfinger arguing about who grammatically misused the word "Obfuscate"

Personally, I eschew "obfuscate" as being too recondite.

I am all for unbanning Members but it would greatly depend on what they did to get banned in the first place.

Oof, I had to break out the dictionary after your esoteric and abstruse response!

it will depend. definitely.

our senior mods will discuss each case as it comes up.

Have you been flooded with requests yet? Will you list those who were unbanned for us all to see?

 

[Corn]

If they let Dennisfloss back in they should let everyone else back in too.

In the continuing spirit of goodwill, can I start a butter thread?

What's going on with Rollo? I hear he's coming back. :light:

 

[markgm]

I hope you guys are generous with who you let back in, I'd love to see some of the old regulars here again.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

I see Shinerburke is back!

There was never any argument. Sir Cad misused it and he knows it. He's just never, ever, ever wrong ... about anything.
