More promotions

He didn't drop it, something stupid he did a while ago caught up with him, and he paid his dues for it. Brendan is one of the nicest people on the site, very deserved IMO.

And thanks for the gratz from everyone else.

Don't think you understood the figure of speech.

Nate and Brendan W, two great people and sythe members.
Grats!

Congrats

Poor promotions for the most part. Past scammers and self vouchers. Fantastic.

My thoughts too. People are capable of change though.

I thought Sythe's rule of thumb was: Once a scammer, always a scammer...
Oh well... Gratz

Both have been punished and have fulfilled the punishment, they are forgiven, like any other who have beem

And these two clearly have.

The staff would be stupid to not acknowledge change of character, Plznate is one of our most legitimate members and Brendan W shows just as much potential, props to the both of them and goodluck.

Hopefully it all works out then.

For once I actually agree with you.

 

To those who are so stalwartly against these promotions, I ask you this: have you never done anything unethical? I stole a tube of chapstick when I was younger. Every single person makes mistakes. I'm all for purging the bad people from the site and rewarding those who have good character, which is why I support Brendan's and Nate's promotions. I think it's unfair to immediately discredit the many good things these people have done with the justification that they made a couple of mistakes. In the end, we promote those we feel will represent the site well with honesty and diligence and charitable help. We wouldn't promote someone who had done something wrong unless we were confident that they wouldn't make a similar mistake again.

It's easy to second-guess decisions from an armchair when you view the world as black and white and people as either good or bad, but that's a very immature way of doing things. The world is full of shades of gray, and people change. I won't steal again after how horrible I felt about the chapstick. I'm confident that neither Brendan nor Nate will commit serious offenses again, and I offer their conduct in the community and market respectively as evidence of this.

Give them a chance.

Interesting message you're sending the members of Sythe.

I'm all for the second chances, but why you are so eager to throw them on staff is beside me.

It doesn't seem fair to the countless unknown members who really have changed at heart, only to be 'denied!'. It almost seems like double standards.

I'll go on the record and say I trust Nate and Brenden both more then I trust a lot of you.

They made mistakes and paid for them, so get off of them already.

 

[Greg]

Lets please use this thread to congratulate these members on their promotions and not to argue with your own personal disputes and trust issues...

on topic:

Brendan, you are my best friend and this is well deserved
Nate, most trusted on this site
and to the rest of you congratulations

It's an unfortunate necessity that we bar some good people from coming back after making bad decisions; it's difficult to decide whether a person has changed. I think the staff generally does well with this difficult job. Would you trust Nate with your money?

I wouldn't trust Nate when buying a rare name.

I trust them more than you, but what does that matter?

 

[Sacro]

Would you trust Nate with your money?

I'd trust Nate with about 100 dollars, and that's it. I know he wouldn't risk his sythe account for a messaly 100 dollars when he can make more doing legit buissness. But there is no way in hell I would trust him with 1000+ dollars. I have a feeling he would run off with money if the price was right. I could be wrong, but I'm not willing to find out

It's called special treatment and the staff isn't gonna change any time soon. Remember how plznate got off the hook and got the entire rules stretched just so he could get unbanned? I have nothing against you Nate, but it's pretty unfair to the previous offenders.

But still, congratulations, and best of luck.

It was voted on as a whole, we didnt vote on Nate....

He'll do fine and we have a decently close knit group here so we all help each other out and we watch each other quite a lot....

 

I think we're all getting a bit off topic and need to just say Congrats

 

[Gurtaton]

You guys voted to start a community vote. Isn't that biased in a way? Did I get any vote when I was banned for supposedly 'trolling'? Were there any votes for all the others that were banned when Sythe was in a bad mood?
