So, the rules were changed? Perhaps the problem was that most people weren't informed until after the decision had been made.
Take care all.
Rule changes make life interesting.
They're not identical at all. Kishi's image wasn't even borderline even to the kind of ultra-consevative that would make a "Nazi" like me shake their head, and Peter's was a realistic-looking phallus. Additionally, there's the difference between a two-day n00b and one of the longest-serving members of EoFF staff who has probably made a more significant impact on EoFF than any other member, and I include both myself and Unne in that statement.Quote:

"Kishi's earned a reprieve"
I suppose the real question now is, who else has earned a reprieve?
Take care all.
Forgiveness is the greatest gift that we can give.
eest: exactly, so why not forgive everybody?
According to what Staff has said for the past 5 years, there is not a difference between a two-day n00b and a Knight - well, at least, according to what images they can post before getting banned. And there shouldn't be.Quote:

And you should realize that you're the only person who views the image as "ok' for everyone. Everyone else has stated that it's either banworthy or oonly "borderline" in the case of Kishi.
I thought it was ok, but that's not my decision. I'd also be happy to forgive everyone, but that is also not my decision.
Not true Raistlin. I didn't think the image was banworthy no matter who posted it.
I'll forgive anyone...for a price.
That picture would make children cry. And not in the way that pictures of, say, Kane would.Quote:

While I'm glad that the Staff decided not to ban Kishi, I gotta say, ya'll seriously need to buff up on your PR skills.
It's like I'm witnessing a case study of public relations gone awry. >_>
The internet can be a case study on a lot of things.
I know, isn't it grand?Quote:

Anyway, the number one rule of Public Relations: know your audience. There's an obvious disconnect between the Staff and the rest of the forums. You guys should try and fix that.
The Internet is too broad of a study case. Limit it to particular aspects. IRC, MMORPGs, MBs, blogs, geocities personal sites created with the Yahoo! online builder, etc.
