I couldn't give 2 shits about Lean being unbanned really because he's going to continue to be a nuisance, sometimes he can be smart while at other times being utterly retarded. Talking shit to Karl isn't going to make him pay a dime back as has been seen to date, as goes for many scammers. While we may enjoy talking shit to them they aren't refunding anything at all to their victims, some of whom are still present in the community and not happy about this at all - going off of the victims I have spoken to. I also do not feel 'giving up' as you stated you did when Gun was pardoned is reasonable, at least not permanently giving up, as even most of the recently resigned staff members said they would return if things got better (DNT is only a small issue for some of them however, many of them left for other reasons which will soon be seen, and no it's not just activity requirements although Richard would love to reduce it to such) as well as some of the community members who have left or overall just stopped being active. Fact is as much as Richard or his dickriders would like to deny, this site is a market based forum. I don't think anyone needs to do the math on how many users were brought here because of the market, even if it wasn't to actually trade in the market (such as myself and a few other users I know), some aspect of the market brought us here. Very few members were brought here by the community oriented or discussion sections which Richard is trying desperately to revive through the unbanning of scumbags and overall malicious users, as opposed to making the website appealing to other demographics besides those in the Runescape market, a flawed plan in itself. Fact is Sythe.org's main draw will always be the market as it more or less has a reputation for being trustworthy, and new users won't want to join when they see the owner not giving two shits about lowlifes that most people in their right mind wouldn't wish to associate with. New market users would rather go to any other market website that oh, I don't know, actually punishes people ("their ban was their punishment! but we can't keep them banned forever" and similar arguments are illogical, don't bother replying to me with them.) Richard will continue to unban overall undesirable users while driving valued community members away as has already happened a fair amount, while market users decide to go elsewhere and the website overall goes into decline. Even in the event that a market user does decide to stay for the market portion of the website, do you think they're going to want to be part of a community with someone who has scammed them? No. They're not going to become community involved and the community portion of the website will just remain as is because no new users will want to willingly jump into a pool of scammers.
He tried to get me banned using false information. He just assumed I had other accounts, and that I didn't let the staff know about them. Mean while I was private messaging sythe off those accounts to get my DNT.
What a pickle...
Sorry was I supposed to hack into Richard's account and view your PMs to him on said account? The Bob account was DNT'd and you had posted about being Matt Hasty on it so I assumed staff only knew about that one and you were keeping the other one a secret. A couple of staff members I spoke to were not aware of the account and in the end nothing happened to you so no harm no foul.
Oh wait, there was harm though.
Various people want their money back, scumbag.
