Mek and Tasteewheat have been subject to the same unfair judgement, so talking about Mek is staying on topic.

Wow, a whole year, and you cant let something go. You are the reason why this community falls apart everyday.

Mek and Tasteewheat have been subject to the same unfair judgement, so talking about Mek is staying on topic.

But it's counterproductive to the current issue: the banning of TasteeWheat. Bringing up other past members and talking about how great they were is not ontopic. With that, I'd like you to answer these questions:

1. Why isn't TasteeWheat putting up more of a fight? If he were truly against what happened, why isn't hey even saying so? Why isn't he making more of a voice? Is it possible that if TasteeWheat himself agrees with the CSRs actions, that CSR was just and fair?

2. Would there be a thread like this if TasteeWheat was just JohnDoeRSI? People preach against favoritism. But giving TW "leeway" just because of his significant contributions to the community, while perma-banning JohnDoeRSI is fair?

3. Is, if ever was, permanent banning fair? I play by the rules as much as possible in MxO, but I'd hate to think what would happen if I were caught. Exploiting is wrong, and consequences should follow. But I am too deep a fan of the Matrix Experience to bend over and accept the perma-ban stick. I think TasteeWheat should be allowed back if he shows remorse for what he did and a true desire to be let back in. That being said...

4. Was he warned before this in another similar incident?

So I cant talk about Mek, yet on nearly every page someone else can? Yea, well when it says Moderator under your name, I will listen to you.

Easier for him to get out of MxO.

Shouldnt make a difference.

Warboy hush... I can talk to Tetra about Mek if I must. While I have a history with him as a person for what he did that doesnt impact VV's image as of now in my eyes.

Over the course of my playtime, from Beta to Linenoise to Syntax, I've seen this game change in so many ways. Some changes have been for the better, some I have not liked so much. Changes that the developers make to the game are very linear from my perspective. Very two-dimensional. The developers provide for us a place to play, with missions to keep us busy and different ability trees to explore.

What gives this game a third-dimension is its players. More specifically, players who give back to the game community by thoroughly exploring the game and sharing what they learn. TasteeWheat is the commander of that army of people. People who sacrifice time, effort, and money to this game's community.

I have learned more about this game from TasteeWheat than I have from the "Content is currently being updated" messages on Data Node 1. TasteeWheat has thrown parties which I will always remember, and has given the community an incredible program which will, though never be used again, never be forgotten.

TasteeWheat has changed this community for the better. His knowledge of the game is second only to the devs. But his positive popularity, selflessness, and willingness to make this game more enjoyable is second to none.

By banning this player, our community has grown weaker. The Matrix Online has grown weaker.

CSR's ban players for being profane, irritating, and degrading. They also ban players for being the best. It seems as though you have to be mediocre to do well in this game.

As GamiSB told me, "Tastee is not appealing his banning from this game, so we shouldn't either." I made this post simply to honor what TasteeWheat has done for this community, and for me. But this is not where my disapproval will stop.

I do not want to play a game where mediocracy is encouraged.

My account expires on the 24th, and I will not be renewing it.

I hope not, as we are under completely different management SMILEY

Whats this about Nik0?

MOD_C

Guys keep the flaming to a minimum please, and discuss the topic at hand in a calm & constructive manner.

Thanks.

Arther

Alright, you answered. Let's take a look.

1. Easier for him to get out of MxO.

In what way?

2. Shouldnt make a difference.

You're right but apparently it is making a difference. If it was JohnDoeRSI there wouldn't be a big threa here begging to get him back in the game.

3. - no answer -

4. No warning.

You know this for certain?

TetraCleric

Nik0 was perma banned for the Leveling Exploit. It was his first offence, and he was reset. Then later that week, perma banned for no reason other than the exploit.

Not knowing about Mek in detail, all I know is that he was banned during beta for something he did. Something I do not know.

Now, if you're going to mention him, I would have to say use him as a comparitory figure, this thread isn't to flame each other over a member past, it's a platform for discussing TWs banning and how it is/isn't unfair. Now I can see why Mek may be mentioned in this thread. But can we keep it to just that?
