[QUOTE=Snake7;32515245]So how often do these attempts to shorten bans actually work?[/QUOTE] Pretty often
Thought, most RC threads aren't exactly..."Appeals"

[QUOTE=superstepa;32515380]What are those buttons at the top? My faceraper doesn't show those Found it[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/n5PaA.png[/IMG] Ah.
Some mod kindly let me off because I got banned for a thread I made in 2009 recently. :D
[QUOTE=Snake7;32515245]So how often do these attempts to shorten bans actually work?[/QUOTE] I would say most appeals are at least seriously considered, and most appealed bans are generally shortened in some way. Like another said, most threads in the RC aren't actually appeals though. Although this thread is about the best from the RC, it is a good representation of what the RC looks like, people usually make threads to say "fuck you guys" or other random nonsense. But ya, if you were either wrongly banned(and can make a really solid argument to why the ban should be considered invalid), or seem like a chill dude and apologize, and don't have a long prior history of being banned for that reason, it is usually shortened.
[release][h2]The Continuing Tale Of MaverickIB[/h2][/release] [quote=MaverickIB;32511191]Requesting to be shown the post where this was said or even inferred.[/quote] [quote=Autumn;32511536][QUOTE=MaverickIB;32509297]How you're hailed as some intelligent poster or whatever, I have no idea. What the hell is wrong with FP and its member's inability to understand the concept of context. It's outright ridiculous how retarded you kids can be sometimes. Let's break this down so you can see how stupid you are. Where have I "bragged" about the cost of my suits? In the Fix-Up Look Sharp thread, a thread about fashion wherein the cost of clothing is directly related. In the PoY GMF thread where I've done it sarcastically because you faggots are ridiculous. Okay, lets break it down further. Maybe if you actually had the ability to read, you'd realize I don't brag about the cost of my suits in the context of "hurr durr look at me I'm rich." Look at every serious post I've made about the cost of my suits. I don't go "This was super expensive, look at me." I go "This is super expensive but I got a sweet deal on it." My jacket cost 2600 dollars, I wasn't bragging about being rich, I was bragging about getting a hook-up that allowed me to get something I would never be able to afford for a small fraction of the price. In another post, I bragged how I got a nice 3-piece suit for 180 bucks because the store is closing and giving half their shit away. I bragged about getting a jacket that would normally cost 600 bucks for around 250 through the use of Gilt.com. That's why I find this all so funny. You kids can go ahead and fiddle with your dicks, convinced the whole reason why I reply so ridiculous to you is because I'm mega-butthurt or something. However, the fact of the matter is that you kids took things out of context and decided to just run with it instead of going "Oh wait, that's not what he said." You're like Fox News running with a story they completely misunderstood or taking the words of a politician and bending them. No matter how much the person goes "Um, you took it out of context," they go "NUH UH WHY ARE YOU BEING SO DEFENSIVE ABOUT IT WHAT ARE YOU HIDING." So I'm going to politely ask you to get the fuck out of my thread and take your poor education with you. Or you can stay and keep getting lathed in zings by everyone else who can't read or think for themselves. Lie to yourself and say I'm getting butthurt and whatnot, whatever helps you sleep at night. Just know that every time you post, I really am laughing at you, no matter how much you'd like to think I'm here with an angry face pounding away at my keyboard. That smug face you hate oh so much, what do you think my face looks like right now? Either way you're just wasting your time. Why you kids continue to believe you'd even be able to dent my confidence or ego, I have no idea. Even if I was pretentious and all "huehuahue look at me oh so rich in my expensive suits," what do you expect to get out of all this? Oh, I know. It makes you feel good to have everyone lathe you in zings. Your life is so devoid of real satisfaction that you turn to an online forum, dishing out witty comments here and there so you can feel cool and hip. When in real life, you're probably just some faggot that sits in a corner and daydreams about all the cool shit you could say. Someone says something to you and you go home daydreaming about all the ways you could have responded and looked awesome. But you didn't respond and look awesome, you just sat there looking retarded. You get online behind a shield of distance and anonymity to attack those who have superiority in the real world. You attack me not because I'm pretentious or have a smug face, those are just your excuses for attacking me. The reality is that you'd be attacking me regardless of what I do, because you hate people like me. You hate people who are better than you at everything, people who others like and enjoy being around, people who are successful. Call me an asshole, call me a dipshit, call me a twat, say witty things and earn your zings, that doesn't change the fact that in the real world, I am more important than you. I walk into places and people approach me going "Are you Trey Maldonado? I saw that news story/magazine article/radio broadcast about you." People I have never met in my life contact me saying my writing has changed their lives. I get calls from high school coaches around the state asking me when I'm going to finish school so they can hire me. Face it child, I am better than you. Go ahead and hate me for that. [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("Doesn't want to be here" - Autumn))[/highlight][/QUOTE] That one.[/quote] [quote=MaverickIB;32511771][quote=Autumn;32511536]That one.[/quote]Doesn't say I don't want to be here in any of that. Calling out a handful of members in no way equates to or infers saying "I don't want to be here." If anything, it equates to saying "I don't want them to be here," which isn't against any rules I know of. I'm totally cool with being banned if it's for something I actually did, but a permaban for something it's painfully obvious I did not say? I may not be liked by a lot of people here, but I didn't break any rules. It's also worth noting I didn't even start that discussion, BDA came into my thread and tossed out an unwarranted personal attack that was completely unrelated to the topic of the thread. Spare me from the whole "life isn't fair" spiel. If you don't like me, cool beans, don't like me. I had beef with TH89 back in the day but even in his period of power abuse he didn't go as far as permabanning me because he understood the difference between personally not liking someone and breaking rules. So I'd really like to see what justifies that ban reason other than some people don't like me. In fact, I recall you being in that thread instigating everything as well, Autumn. Hardly puts you in a position to blow what I said extremely out of context and permaban me for it.[/quote] [quote=Autumn;32511944]But you're not just "calling out a handful of members", you're constantly talking down to everyone. And not just in that thread, it seems nearly every other post of yours is about how you're so much better/more alpha than everybody else here. If you really want to be here then I think you need to change your attitude, or your attitude that comes across when you post. Because right now, I cannot believe that you want to be here, surrounded by all "us kids", when you could be doing other things in your (much more important!) life aside from posting on an internet forum, laughing at us all.[/quote] [quote=MaverickIB;32512196][quote=Autumn;32511944]But you're not just "calling out a handful of members", you're constantly talking down to everyone.

I talk down to the people who feel the need to insult me. When have I talked down to people for shits and giggles aside from using it as a legitimate form of giving advice (tough love concept). When people don't instigate things, I behave just like every other poster. This is most evident in the General Games Discussion and even in General Discussion. When people don't instigate things by attacking me, I act just like everyone else. It's all part of this persona people have created for me that's impossible to break. I can't give advice without someone thinking I'm just trying to be alpha or whatever bullshit you come up with. Hell, I state in the OP of my thread that I have always been against the whole "fuck bitches get money" ideology and whenever someone makes a thread on "How to be alpha," I step in and defend everyone by calling it bullshit. Yet, because you absolutely refuse to believe you might have judged someone wrongly, you still slap that title on me. You're really blowing things out of proportion here and taking more of what I said out of context. I'm disappointed in you and I really don't understand why you're being like this. I don't recall ever having problems with you or being disrespectful to you, yet you're stretching the hell out of things to justify this ridiculous ban. I specifically called out BDA, Rusty, Ventilated, and the other cats who deemed it necessary to try their hardest to insult me or whatever. Yet you say "Us," as if I meant all of facepunch when I obviously did not. The only part I meant to apply to all of facepunch is the fact that everyone needs to take a lesson on context. This ban is the greatest example of that. Because that's really all it has to run off of. There's no logical reasoning behind this ban, you simply took something I said out of context and permabanned me for it. When I ask you to justify it, you just take more things out of context and/or put words in my mouth. The rest of it is stuff that has nothing to do with the rules, last time I checked being a narcissist is not against any rules I know of. Like I said, if you don't like me, fine, don't like me. I'm not asking people to change their minds and fall in love with me. However, this had no business moving over to the realm of banning and you know that.[/quote] [quote=MaverickIB;32514442]Still waiting on a moderator response. Personal opinions aside, the ban just isn't justified. Especially not as a permaban. I don't have an extensive ban history, I contribute productively in most areas of the forums with the exception of GMF which is shitpost central, and I didn't break any rules in general. This doesn't have to be a someone wins/someone loses kind of thing, there is a such thing as compromise. Hell, I'm willing to agree to something like I get banned if I ever post in GMF again or something like that. That way, I stay in my little corner of Chat Threads only branching out to GD or GGD every once in a while and all the GMF kiddos get to enjoy their shitposts free of any pictures of Maverick in suits. Because quite frankly, the silent treatment doesn't do much to help the case against me. Apparently I'm in the wrong for being condescending and calling people kiddos (even though I've explained time and time again that's just how I talk, it's not meant to be taken literally or as an insult). However, how am I supposed to respect someone as my equal when they resort to something like this? "I don't like you so I'm going to ban you," isn't really the most mature train of thought. I don't have anything against Autumn, she's often intelligent and mature, but this ban was an unjustified mistake.[/quote] [quote=MaverickIB;32518372]No other moderators see the problem in this? Banned for no reason other than Autumn and the other "popular" gold members don't like me? How can any of you look at me and say I have problems when you're totally fine with crap like that. In a lot of cases with banned members, they pull a "but everyone else was doing it too," sort of defense. Except here, I did nothing wrong. You can't even pin flaming on what I posted because all of it was pretty spot on, it wasn't just empty direct insults. If that's flaming then every time someone psychoanalyzes another poster should be considered flaming. There's literally nothing that can be pinned on me that warrants a permaban. Look at the ban reason itself, holy crap. "Doesn't want to be here." How is that a legitimate ban reason at all when it's painfully obvious that was never what I intended to say. You can't even get that out of what I said. If anything, it further proves this is just one big personal ban. Autumn put "Doesn't want to be here," as the ban reason because in the back of her head, the reason was really "I don't want him to be here." Funny. Comes into a thread named after me and then gets upset enough to ban me when she reads my posts there. I don't even know how you can look at that and be cool with it Autumn. I'd be pretty disappointed with myself if I did something stupid like that. Hell, I've said and done plenty of stupid things over my 5+ years here, owning up to them when called out. Sure, I'll say what I can to justify myself but I also have the ability to know when I'm in the wrong. How can you judge me when you can't do the same? How can you look at me and say I'm full of myself and whatnot when at least I still have the humility to own up to my mistakes? You don't want me to change my attitude and show that I really want to be here. It has always been pretty damn obvious I want to be here. Why else would I still be posting after 5+ years and do what I can to at least keep part of the old Love Advice alive? What you really want is for me to turn into the other RC posters. You either want me to flip my shit and go off ranting about how garry likes dicks in his bum or beg you for forgiveness. Ridiculous. My ego might be large but at least I'm not fixated on breaking someone to the point of begging. +45 Renegade[/quote] [highlight]My god... He's fucking INSANE.[/highlight]
Holy fuck I didn't know Maverick was that insane. I am now officially taking bets on how long it will take before his long drawn out "arguments" turn into incoherent rambling.

Anyone who didn't think Maverick was like this before his posts is silly. He gets off on being heaps "alpha" and soaking up the reputation of the ultimate ladykiller but at the end of the day he is posting this shit on Facepunch. Also the :sax: thread is the best thread in the RC, it doesn't get enough updates

[release][h2]The Continuing Tale Of MaverickIB Part Two[/h2] Maverick is presented with a gracious offer of redemption... But will he accept the terms? The saga continues![/release] [quote=Autumn;32519530]I personally didn't reply because it was midnight and I'm sick, so I went to bed, I wasn't ignoring you. The amount you've posted, and the manner in which you've written it (I don't think I've seen "kids" used once!) is about enough to show me that maybe you do actually want to continue posting here on Facepunch. So, will you agree that your posting style needs a bit of an alteration? Like I've said before, your advice is sound, but you can give it in such an unpleasant manner that it just comes across as "alpha alpha you damn kids etc.", which doesn't help any body. The post I banned you for is still definitely over the line as far as responding to other users goes, so you'll remain banned for that, but perhaps not permanently. If you'll acknowledge that whilst some people's view of you (mine included) should probably be refreshed, your posting attitude does not really help the situation, and maybe you should think a little longer in the future before constantly calling everyone kids, and trying to prove to us how superior your life is to ours.[/quote] [quote=MaverickIB;32522489][quote=Autumn;32519530]I personally didn't reply because it was midnight and I'm sick, so I went to bed, I wasn't ignoring you.

A lot of the time, Dark_Light and I have a good cop/bad cop routine going on that actually works pretty well. Kids might hate me when I give advice but that's the whole point, to make them hate me enough that they do things out of spite. If I go "You'll never amount to anything," and they really hate me, they'll go and actually do something just to spite me. I don't post about being alpha in general so there's no worries about that. I'll try to cut down on the kids thing but like I said, that's just how I talk. It's what I say instead of "guys" or "dudes" and whatnot. So yes, I'll reconsider my general posting attitude but how I give advice is how I give advice. I only post about my superiority when people feel the need to go out of their way to attack me. I'll do what I can to just ignore them from now on, but I think it's pretty ridiculous how cats like BDA can do the same exact thing that long post of mine was, yet when I do it it's over the line. Something's better than nothing though, I'll take a reduction over a permaban, no matter how unfair I might find it to be.[/quote] [sp]he doesn't lmfao[/sp]
Wow, Maverick. Did no one ever teach you the phrase "Never look a gift horse in the mouth"?
Nope, sounds like something a [B]BETA[/B] would say.
If he gets unbanned hes getting banned again if he sees this
That dude's pretty pissed at me.

Here's an update from the ongoing crisis for Maverick's sanity. [quote=MaverickIB]Sorry for being upset about a permanent ban from a community I've participated in since I was 15 years old, for something that isn't even against the rules. Trying to add insult to injury by saying I have to change how I act entirely for no reason other than some people don't like it doesn't help either. I mean, imagine if you got arrested for a crime you didn't do, like stealing. Instead of just letting you go when you prove your innocence, they go "Okay, you didn't do it. But you are kind of a bitch so we won't let you go until you stop being a bitch to people you don't like." You'd just take that kind of thing lightly? Tacking on terms of your release that have absolutely nothing to do with any current rules or laws? Throw all opinions out the window and look at the facts. The ban reason does not line up, I never said I don't want to be here. Calling it flaming would be a large stretch, but even then, a single flaming outburst does not warrant a permaban at all. Maybe if I was a constant flamer, but I've only done it one other time and that was a legitimate mistake on my part, I deserved that ban from JohnnyMo and didn't protest it. Nothing supports a permaban or even a lengthy temporary one. [/quote]
