It's not hard to figure out if someone incharge pms you and tells you to stop doing something, that what you're doing is wrong and you should probably stop.

I'd like to know how you verified that it was definitely accidental.Am I saying that everyone is going to post porn and will get a temp ban for it? No, I am not. I am only using this in the case of it being truly accidental, like it was in Peter's case.
Most common regulars don't want to get banned. There are a few who do. It also by the content of the post. If it was in a photo thread, it's likely a mistake. If it's in its own thread, probably done on purpose.
Come on, you should know that a thread titled "Omg, bye!" with a porn picture inside was done on purpose.

Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Looking forward to Aaron Freed quoting this in four years.
I agree with all of this. Sometimes, a permanent ban just isn't warranted. Temporary bans have been used before, and have been effective. Case-by-case is the best approach; over time, good precedents and procedures will emerge by themselves, prettymuch.
Just because they don't want to get banned doesn't mean Peter didn't intentionally post that image. I would say the more likely event was he thought the image was appropriate, posted it, then said it was accidental when he got in trouble for it.Most common regulars don't want to get banned. There are a few who do, like Baloki. If you read his LJ prior to his banning, he's been complaining about wanting to get banned. Or something. It also by the content of the post. If it was in a photo thread, it's likely a mistake. If it's in its own thread, probably done on purpose.
Not the Staff's fault. And for every banning I've heard of, they'd been warned in threads, too.Not everyone reads their PM.

Sometimes they do think it's appropriate, like Bert's case. Though, not deliberately wanting to get banned, that case should at least warrant a couple month temp ban, as with Peter.
So, maybe if the porn was in its own thread, that could mean permanent ban.
Edit: In any case, I will accept this thread getting closed, but I won't accept the decision made by most of the staff. I will only accept Cid's words regarding temp-bans as final.
BTW: I'm not endorsing staff to unban Peter. As much as I would like to see him unbanned, it's best that he stay banned.

If one more person says Peter posted that picture by accident I am going to scream.
Bert, as Staff admitted, was a mistake and should have been banned.Sometimes they do think it's appropriate, like Bert's case. Though, not deliberately wanting to get banned, that case should at least warrant a couple month temp ban, as with Peter.
I don't see how that effects anything. What's next? Porn in GC being worse than porn in FF7?So, maybe if the porn was in its own thread, that could mean permanent ban.
I think the "drink tank" is effective. Other forms of temp-banning haven't been used in a while, but the "drink-tank" is definitely an effective form of temp-ban, and I think it should be used more. Maybe something similar?I agree with all of this. Sometimes, a permanent ban just isn't warranted. Temporary bans have been used before, and have been effective.
Raist, could you explain the "drink tank"?
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
Yeah, everyone knows Peter did it to deliberately spite the other members and hopefully to cause irrepairable emotional damage. :rolleyes2
*drunk tank
It's the user-group they put HOOTERS in when he made 3489057438957943 drunk posts/threads. xD
Raf was put in it yesterday when he got so pissed at the Staff.
From what I've heard, it's like a banned group, but not really. It just disables posting and thread-making.
It only disables thread-making.
I thought you can't post at all, but you can still view everything.
