*And Now, please welcome Marick D. Pauper to the stage*
As sad as it is, even Eyes on Final Fantasy must have rules that are enforced with the iron fist of the Shinra. Because of this, we have seen, over the ages, many classic members to be banned. Whether it be ridiculous spammers, like Primus Inter Pares or Hoorj, or great legends, like Linus or Baloki. As a banned member myself, I have seen and been involved in the repercussions that the Eyes on Final Fantasy staff face when banning popular members.
Banned members are usually banned for reasons that are undisclosed to the general public; which usually starts the occasional rumor here and there. Reasons for being banned have gone from the outright suicide bans ( i.e. where the member does something deliberately against the rules) to just random other things: second accounts, spam, being a general pain in the arse, and so forth. What is positively certain is that, when actually questioned, nearly all bannings are legitimate and cannot be argued with.
This bi-annual ciddies nominees bring a surprising mix to the equation. Some actively seek to be banned, others just contribute to nonsense, and others just try to get under the skin of members and annoy staff. Who can say whether or not the winner will actually be banned sometime in the distant future, and for that matter, who is to say whether or not one of the nominees will be banned prior to the announcement of the winner.
One this is certain - over the years, the banned at Eyes on Final Fantasy have become quite accumulative. As I recall the banfest 2006, I remember a time when bannings were joked and laughed at and I never thought it could happen to me, but be wary, the Eyes on Final Fantasy staff (especially that Daniel "Loony BoB" Peter Towns character) are blood thirsty beasts out for carnage and will stop at nothing to enforce the rules and regulations set forth in the terms of agreement.
However, being banned is not all that bad; one can still enter chat and cause mayhem, as well as be remembered as a legend, although not many are. But hey, look on the bright side, in two years, one can appeal a banning and maybe come back; but I wouldn't bank on it.
So without further ado, This year's nominees for Most Likely To Be Banned are:
Alastair|UK - A member who contributes to spam and makes little jabs here and there at staff.
Cruise Control - Traditionally known as BBomber, is a master of the short response that holds little validity and some might consider bits and pieces of spam.
Devil Man - A member who actively sought out being banned. Why, he even made this
thread. Well, it just so happens that this member actually was banned, so he can't win Most Likely To Be Banned anymore. FAIL! Honorable mention for screwing up the ciddies though.
Dreddz - Someone who has an incredible hate for "fanboys" and has no problem telling it, Dreddz keeps his posts short and sweet, but he has no qualm about belittling other members.
Lindy - An advocate that no one reads posts in the Eyes on Each Other section of the forum. Lindy is also no stranger to telling just how he feels to other members.
Quin 'n' Tonic - A member with a clever name, probably an alcoholic, not to mention that they are obsessed with Dr. Boskonovich. Not to mention that he once helped an old lady cross the road, only to steal her handbag... Next time you touch my grandmother, I'm coming after you.
Roto13 - Why this member is on here is beyond me, and after some quick research, I discovered no reason, but perhaps staff nominated him out of hatred, or a conspiracy of members out to get him.
sephirothishere - A member who considers me a "coolish" banned member certainly can't rest well with staff. No wonder he was nominated. Everyone knows that I am a taboo subject, much like banned members in general. He does, however, have ambition to make an RPG.
udsuna - I think the comments to lovehurts in this
thread says it all. RUDE, Just the way we love it.
