After Thorpe announced his new "verified market system," I was extremely angry- and rightfully so. Thorpe and others had ripped Zamorak.org's idea.
I made a topic about this, and was subsequently banned. Why? Well, let's see what the ban reason had to say.
Thorpe's thorough and descriptive ban reason gave me absolutely no reason for why I was banned. Why? There was no good reason.
First, let's look at the Sythe.org rules, located at
http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=148431 . The rules state:
Users will receive 2 infractions for the following:
Flaming: excessive cursing, insults, and/or derogatory comments towards another user
Well, infracting me for flaming was a stretch. Here's the only thing I said that counts as flaming:
Yes, that's right, I called Thrope a *****. Oh dear. 2 infractions,
technically, if you stretch it that far.
Shortly after this, The Ancient Ankh made a thread calling for me to be unbanned. In this thread, Thorpe was hypocritical, and actually flat out lied several times.
Let's see what good 'ol Thorpy had to say.
He PM'd me accusing me of 'scamming' without proof (i.e. ripping his stuff)
Err.... I sent you a pm that said "Why don't you get your own ****ing ideas instead of ripping ours." Now, it says in the Sythe.org rules that you can only get infracted if you accuse someone of scamming WITHOUT proof. I provided proof.
and he called Ughster a '*****'...
No, I called YOU a *****. So what? 2 infractions, no biggie.
I don't have to prove ANYTHING to you, I have the PM saved. etc etc...
OH! About that! Here is the response he sent me in said PM, I have the screenshot if it is needed. He said "I thought of this myself you cum guzzler." OH EM GEE. I thought flaming was 2 infractions? Unbecoming of a global mod.
I finally confronted Thorpe on MSN, and he was just stubborn and refused to consider the FACTS I gave him.
[14:00] R: Bant.
[14:00] R: Reason.
[14:00] thorpe: You called Ughster a *****, and you accused me of taking your ideas
[14:00] thorpe: which it was 100% my idea
[14:00] thorpe: its a broad idea
[14:01] thorpe: anyone could have thought of something like that
[14:01] R: I called YOU a *****, and accusing you of taking my ideas is not a bannable offense.
[14:01] thorpe: yes
[14:01] thorpe: it is
[14:01] R: Calling you a ***** is 2 points.
[14:01] thorpe: You called me a ***** which is flaming
[14:01] thorpe: accusing of scamming (taking your ideas) is another point or so
[14:01] thorpe: I dont give infractions I just temp ban people for a peirod of time
[14:02] R: And no, if you knew the rules, accusing of scamming is only against the rules if you don't have proof.
[14:02] R: It's not my fault you don't know the rules of the very site you moderate.
[14:02] thorpe: You don't have any proof I was ever looking at your VU
[14:02] thorpe: thread
[14:02] thorpe: so therefore you cant prove that i took it
[14:03] R: I still posted legit evidence, even if it wasn't "good enough."
[14:03] R: Again, it's only against the rules if you accuse without evidence at all.
[14:03] thorpe: im not arguing wit you
[14:03] Meebo Message: thorpe is offline
That is all. There's nothing you can say against that.
Repentless for story.
