Rather than continue the half-decade + long debate about if Savicki should stay or go, why not take it up with the proper mod channels, get the dude bounced out if that is the general consensus and just be done with it?
I mean, the longstanding insinuations of this member being associated with pedo activities...this is pretty serious stuff. Are these just dark-edged but not serious barbs, or is there provable truth to any of them? Yes, being a fan of Laura Branigan and liking Jem seem a bit strange, but is there any more to the kiddie-diddler allegations than this?
In a broader context, I can easily think of a couple dozen members (both past and present, troll and non) who were/are far more irritating than Savicki and were allowed to remain and run rampant with their bullshit for years on end...if Savicki is to go, why not take a hard look at the assclown contingent as a whole and boot some of those useless chesticle fuckers as well?
Scramby eggs and bacon.

While I'd agree that there were a handful of knuckleheads and sociopaths that needed to be shown the door for their dubious exploits, to me, the more unhinged folks around here have been the very reason for showing up. Unless a poster crosses the line (personal threats, activity taking place beyond the site itself, ect.), to continually ban people not only robs the site of it's inherent character, it leads to the far more important (and therefore troubling) issue of "Who's next?"

Well, and I can see and respect your argument. Some good points being made, and am not exactly in disagreement with you here. This site and the rule "Don't be an asshole" is a good one
I don't think just "anyone" should be banned. But once someone crosses a certain line, or just kind of purposely spams the site to his or her own whim, or feels the need to have someones photobucket profile (both flappo's and jimi's) deleted, that's kind of fucking low. I hope you understand where I'm coming from?

Your altered sigpic of mine linked to that image of the ladies. If it's not your album, I don't know how I landed that that realm... but I sure don't regret it!
That is bizarre. All I did was "Save" your original image, then re-sized, cropped and blacked-out the edges. Finally, I sent it to you via Imageshack. The thing is, although I do enjoy porn as much as the next person, that particular image isn't saved upon my computer.
Mystery Girls are the best!
i remember when shitbags got run off around here. now people beg to have someone banned.
that's not progress.

Not only flappo's and Jimmi's, I documented then filed complaints with Flickr.com when exploits were used to obtain information, which was used to remove a photo I had created specifically concerning images "Steve" was using at that time frame.
There is no way he could have gained that information without using exploits. Moreover, had I not kept originating receipts it would have been near impossible to have traced what photo was removed.
Flickr.com did respond with policy change toward limiting the exploit. However, they also required that I go through my files, reclassify some, and re-approval. That was an annoyance.
As stated before:
Steve has 101+ IDs. In addition, he uses techniques to mask his trails. Furthermore, he is an pretty fair RGPer character builder.
If he was banned he would let loose an army of drone bots. Not to mention the vast amount of SE'ed marks he could invoke toward all sorts of annoyances.
For whatever reason he is unusually protective of the "Steve" ID.
Do not think that "Steve" is only an problem here at the RA. His SE goes beyond here and beyond the "Steve" character development.
As I was told, sometimes shutting down an account is not a useful thing because of the loss of tracking the individual.

MICHAEL G. MULLENTo put it simply, we need to worry a lot less about how to communicate our actions and much more about what our actions communicate.
I fucking HATE this topic, I HATE having to ban anyone....
That said, all of this speculation and/or splitting hairs is fine and dandy, but it all boils down to this:
The owner of this website, a.k.a. the one who pays the bills every month, even when deployed, has two main rules:
1. No N-word
2. No Dick Pics
I will also add that the "No Personal Info / Making personal threats" rule is one that won't be tolerated, but Sarge hasn't gotten around to updating the FAQ....
There are also the obvious ones, such as spammers, that are easy.... Everyone knows those get whacked every day by us....
And for all intents and purposes, THAT IS IT....
Unfortunately though, there are other subjective categories that rise up from time to time that, trust me, Sarge and the webbies fucking hate to have to get into....
If you're being disruptive to the site, meaning that your only purpose is to be disruptive rather than participating in DLR/CVH discussions, you're most likely gonna be gone as well.....
But the ones such as pedophilia and a couple of other ones are things that need to be proven....
That's it... No speculation, no splitting hairs....
And this thread is closed.....
