Stuff that happens outside of Sythe, shouldn't be brought up in Sythe.

Horrible example? The example shouldn't matter, I disagree with people being banned for out-of-Sythe-matters, apart from scamming, which is debatable. I have not at all given that example solely because it supporst my post, but because it's happened recently. Do some homework.

 

Scamming is not debatable unless your a crook, liar and disrespuctful towards others and their things.

The idea here is to stop it before it starts.

 

I know we got off to a bad start, but good point.

 

If you do something really bad in one place, you can do that again in other place in the future.

 

He clearly deserved the banishment.

 

Kinda off topic, but if I got arrested IRL for stealing from Microsoft (or some other huge megaconglomerate) would I be banned from Sythe too?

Its not on a "chance". Its known. They've done it before, so they stand a very good chance of doing it again.

 

I don't know weather to support this or not. I feel that people should be held accountable for certain off Sythe actions; however, I also feel that certain individuals such as Lukef555 would never use this in anyway to harm Sythe users.
I can't say that I don't want Luke back, as he was a major credit to this forum, but I also don't want users that can cause a danger to my computer.

I don't think I'm going to support this....

 

Stealing is stealing, whether it's in real life or virtual.

 

Agreed! i've been watching peoples topic for few days , and its kind of annoying.

 

Another question. If I was a member of a warez site, and someone from Sythe was to find out about it, would I get banned for that?

 

Not unless you do something on that site which we think is a harm to Sythe members.

 

So talking about warez, giving out download information for warez, etc, would not qualify? That is good then.

 

As long as you don't do it on sythe. Almost everyone here uses warez, but the thing is it's illegal for them to host warez informations, downloads, etc on their site which is why it's against the rules.

 

Warez is pretty much off the radar - it's something that is at least partially accepted by most of society, and thus it's less an issue of personal morality. Anyway, I think Warez is still a temp ban - only perm offenses carry over to other sites.

As for shoplifting, members have not traditionally been banned for admitting to it on the forums – although most of the time they've only mentioned candy, lighters, etc (and I think in one case were TWC'ed). It's probably more of a case-by-case issue: if you admit to having stolen a lollipop when you were 10, obviously nothing's going to happen; however, if you admit to stealing a bunch of iphones and selling them on ebay, that may be another issue. It all goes back to what your activities offsite indicate about your integrity as a trader. If you admit to high-risk, high-volume stealing, then chances are, you're probably not the best member for the site.

 

Seriously? That is hardly a credit to character. That's not even that serious, I know PLENTY of good people who have shoplifted a candy bar or something in their life. That's a terrible reason for a TWC / ban.

I could see stealing some iphones, yes, but CANDY? Come on, so many people steal candy when they're like 13.

I think it's hardly a credit to character and most of the time it ends up in just a simple phone call to your parents.

It's another story, however, if you're like 15+ and still stealing candy and whatnot. That is just stupid, get a job and contribute to society.

 

Did you even read Sin's post?

 

Sin said it was OK if people stole candy at the age of 13. Reread her post .

 

Didn't Skele just tell him that? >.>

anyways people sell stuff all the time that doesn't belong to them for example "Runescape accounts" your runescape account is property of Jagex, and selling stuff that doesn't belong to you like for example like a bunch of Ipods you stole or your "runescape account" its all the same because it doesn't belong to you and you don't have permission and to say its different thats being nothing but hypercritical. It just doesn't make sense, how one thing is allowed, but the other isn't and they're almost the exactly same thing. If you're gonna TWC a person selling stolen goods, then you mise well TWC the whole black market.
