    So you're saying that he got away with what should have been a bannable offence? And you did nothing?

    What Bert got away with is actually none of your business, but you're free to speculate all you like.

    I understand that PeTeRL90 is not probably going to get unbanned, but we're just trying to rid ourselves of this supposed double standard. I recall that HOOTERS had pictures that were meant to be "boobies". Yet he was only warned. Bert posts a picture of a guy arfing a car, and gets warned. Peter posts a picture that is, if anything, humorous, and gets banned. This somehow doesn't seem logical. And by asking Arche, I learn that HOOTERS did put them in order to show boobies.

    Well, I know the rules, but I think the policy should be changed so that people will get a tougher warning instead of getting banned off the bat for posting an inappropriate picture by mistake. I never liked the rule when I was staff. I only agreed to it when the picture was posted intentially, as with Bert. But posting the pictures by mistake, like Peter, they should be given a warning, instead of a straight ban. Peter's not a horrible sick person because he posted an inappropriate picture, and he's going to hack EoFF and post naughty pictures everywhere. I doubt he will do such a thing. He should have just been warned for that picture. You should also look into the poster's history before you ban anyone too for posting an inappropriate picture. If the pic was purposely posted, yeah you could ban them, but if it was a mistake, a warn should be handed, and the next time they get caught, a ban.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    You admitted he "got lucky." That tells a lot. And I don't see how you can sit there with a straight face and argue for the exact opposite of what you did in Bert's case. It's hypocritical.

    Ugh. Anyone could do something stupid and then say that it was a mistake.

    Also, we'll make mistakes sometimes. This isn't the supreme court or a jury. It's a message board about Final Fantasy.

    Yeah that was pretty harsh, just like how my signature was considered questionable material. Especially if he posted it by accident, anybody could do that.

    Bert got lucky in the fact that he's still here, yes, but the circumstances behind why he's still here are really none of your concern and I can sit here and say that with a straight face.

    So, what if a Cid's Knight, or Administrator posted a similar picture that Peter posted, would the staff demote them and ban them for that?

    The only person exempt from the rules would be Sean. He could turn this place into a porn site if he wanted.

    There's no way you would ban a staff member for posting a snow penis.

    Ah, so if an Admin posted that, he'd be banned. Which is what Bert did a while ago, and wasn't banned?

    No sense.

    Well, we've never had to test your theory there, Hooters, because so far no staff member has ever done something like that.

    We wouldn't have to because a staff member would know better than to do that.

    It doesn't have to make sense, Raistlin. This is a message board and not an exact science where everything has to.
