I'd pay 5k pts to bring SoV back before I'd ever vote for this guy. SoV contributes a hell of a lot when he's not being a tosser intentionally (and he knows I adore him so I'm sure he understands what I'm saying). People are not banned here lightly. If you're a scammer, you should never be welcomed back imo because you not only hurt SBR, you hurt every legit poster here. If you're just a PT poster gone wrong, then if you've been banned it's because you have a history of being a tosser. If I, for example, ban someone... I have to provide a reason as to why and it's reviewed by Admin. It's not simply because I'm PMS'ing that day. This guy still has an insult about John's wife in his bloody avatar ffs. I read Bateman's last posts to Peep before he was banned there. Peep rarely banned anyone... and now look what happened. Yeah this is only the Internet but you can be somewhat bloody decent... at least once in your umpteen chances at a forum. He's banned everywhere for a reason. One of the people who first told me about SBR no longer posts here because she was sick of his hijacking threads with his bs and I've had umpteen people come to Live Chat who don't speak English as their first language who were wondering wtf was going on with his posts. This site isn't all N America... not everyone understands he's a nutter who should just be ignored. Some people just Google Translate and gtfo. And for those of you who say they should just ignore it - it's 2011 in the gaming industry. Those Euros/Asians/Aussies/Kiwis... are the majority of the ones fuelling the forums you love to visit every day. Happy holidays everyone

Come to Detroit. We'll dine on shell fish and go to a Red Wings game, drink Molson, and shag like rabbits.

Thanks,

Merry Christmas to that wee lad of yours, I hope he bashes the fukk out of fire trucks and gets a Bauer hockey stick for Christmas.

Points for "no" votes maybe? I've got 13k just burning a hole in my e-pocket.

Wow is this a serious offer? If people start offering points for Christmas vengeance against Bateman he is totally screwed... Hell, even with my true believer devotion to Batty, I would throw him under the train for a token of points...

Send me an email at sbr.shari at gmail... have a vid for you that I think you'll love. And I tried to email you the other day to let you know he was copying some goalie during a shootout... everytime the goalie's leg went out to make a save, the little dude was kicking his leg out too.

About to head out for a swim and a barbie though so be quick!!

[RyanLeafOfBets]

Don't even know the guy, but voted for a pardon. Granted, if he is a douche, ban him again

[Ra77er]

I agree with Shari, bring SoV back.

"Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful." - Kame-sama

And I'm not talking about Bateman here, but the board majority (as of now).

You can't take The Internet(s) posts too seriously, people. The anonymous factor just causes so many people to act like idiots. Does anyone actually think someone was in danger from bateman's posts? Didn't think so. And obviously there's no harm in reinstating him as he can always be banned again if admin deems it necessary.

I actually agree with you to some extent... but at what point is enough, enough? How many chances? How many posters lost? The guy has slammed so many of my colleagues and bosses (ignore myself and the little dude)... at what point do you bring him back? How many minutes/hrs do you want the people you pay if you're a forum owner to spend modding the same old crap over and over? Answering PMs, reported posts, infracting crap, etc...

The people cheering for him I liken to those who stare at bus crashes... they know he won't last here so they want to see him blast the wall. If his 57th apology letter didn't mean anything, why would his 58th? It's the YouTube crowd which is fair enough. But I gave this spud more than enough chances... and he can lie about anything else but surely he wouldn't lie about this: I never gave out his info (even though he refused to protect mine), never bashed him publicly, etc... but you can't scare off posters simply because you're a wanker. If for nothing else, those of you who are long term posters of SBR should try to protect the new guys who come in - regardless of what language they speak or what their religion is - they're the ones who not only become Pro but more importantly try to offer awesome insight here without the PT nonsense. Don't scare them off.

[Ra77er]

Speaking of youtube

[jjgold]

Bring him back!!!!

Bring him back!!!

We need tough guys here

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

John this sicko said he would rape my mom and dad and kill me. He shouldnt be allowed back

Looks like Bateman will retain is Daimoshake status

[HauntingTheHoly]

No one should ever be banned for "slamming" someone to begin with. Threats could be different, of course.

How many minutes/hrs do you want the people you pay if you're a forum owner to spend modding the same old crap over and over? Answering PMs, reported posts, infracting crap, etc...

John voted to bring him back, and so this seems like a forced argument. Behind it is the fact that you are very irritated (perhaps understandably) to be the one who has to read all of his stupid posts and as you read them, your dislike/hatred grows for the poster, and you simply want to solve the problem easily by perm-banning him. Are you really arguing the issue is "money wasted" on modding him? lol. Come on.

The people cheering for him I liken to those who stare at bus crashes... they know he won't last here so they want to see him blast the wall.

True, but not necessarily bad for the forum. In fact it's quite normal from my experience.

but you can't scare off posters simply because you're a wanker....Don't scare them off.

He was scaring posters off, really? Doubtful to say the least. Anybody who is so easily "scared" by a quite TYPICAL (they're on every board on the internets) forum attention whore/clown/troll can not be protected by you or anyone else anyway. If the "new poster" has any sense whatsoever they will immediately recognize him for his role and can choose to engage or ignore. (And the poster may feel "engaging" is fun, in fact. Some people like a degree of conflict on forums) You make it sound like there are hoards of new posters who are crucial to SBR's bottom line, but then they read one of batemans posts and FLEE to some other inferior forum. No. You just hate the guy and want him punished. Am I right?

Finally, let me just say that It's quite possible the guy deserves a perm-ban for his behavior, as I'm not too familiar with him at all. My "defense" is of a purely philosophical/general nature. But if John votes to let him back in, I doubt anything Bateman's said would override my general thoughts.

[SBR_John]

My general philosophy is no one should be banned for life with the possible exception of serial scammers.

As a community we should be tolerant. Posters who disrupt the community will be moderated. But the moderation period is almost always temporary. At some point they should be afforded a second chance or third or forth chance in Bateman's case.

In Bateman's case i think he pushed well over the limit and deserved to obtain approval from the community to be reinstated.

[doublej95]

Do you shed a tear at each of his I'm sorry, I'm going to be a model poster apology letters John?

[jarvol]

Just free the man.

[ouman101]

How many "second chances" does the guy need, to act like an adult? You banned him for good...forget that he ever existed.

[ttwarrior1]

he should come back over some of the others that will be pardoned

[excel]

Make the guy donate 5 dimes to charity through SBR for a full pardon.

Only because some wackadoo (hi Tree) nominated this, will I respond...

I talked to Bateman on THE PHONE for ONE HOUR+ right before he was banned from SBR. He knows who I am and I know who he is as a poster. I asked him why he acted like such a candlestick when he was posting and he said he didn't know... he acknowledged he did but couldn't figure out why.

So yeah, keep pontificating about why I posted what I did about Bateman... Bateman knows. You however, do not. If Bateman and I were to sit down in a bar tomorrow we'd have a few drinks and have a great time. However I work at a forum... and whether or not you happen to believe that he's chased people away, I can only say that I bloody wish I knew how to search live chat transcripts to bury your ass. I wouldn't even take a bet from you on it because it'd be like taking money from a kid. I don't lie pal. And I don't exaggerate. Especially not about someone who will most likely be sharing a meal with me in the future.

Learn your shit and get it sorted before you start with the diatribes again... Bateman is a horrific poster. He knows that he is. He's also a lovely man in real life. For whatever reason the two aren't reconciled yet... when they are, I'm sure everyone will love to have him back. Until then, he knows that he's wished all the best despite his silly nonsense.

Bateman is a piece of shit so I voted No. But Bateman would mindfukk King Mayan 6 ways to Sunday. Kinger, BatemanPatrickL would have you thinking you're BEANTOWNJIM. King Mayan pal, you're out of your league with Bateman. But don't worry Mayan, I just voted NO and saved your ass.
