There is literally no point to unban someone just to see them get rebanned. That will create a circle of unbanning and rebanning.
Irony and satire does not make rule breaking acceptable. If I were to go and write a racist statement using derogatory term and assumed that people would see the humour and what not I would still be punished because it is still racist, it's still offensive. Assuming Crypto is as smart as he tries to appear he should know that, it's common sense.
Well then the question is now how do we punish Inject for his recent racism thread, I mean yeah he was joking but he had me more convinced that he thinks poor people should stop breeding than Crypto had me convinced he was tired of homosexuality in the news. If it were Rebelmaster or Crypto saying everything Inject said word for word, everyone would have a field day trying to get them banned for it. From what I heard though Inject sounds like he really thought what he's talking about through though, Crypto's post was blatant retardation, just like all the retardation before him in the thread he got banned from.
People keep saying he got chances but I feel like nobody ever really gave him a single one. It was less of a chance and more of a "BE GOOD OR WE'LL FUCKING SLIT YOUR THROAT" kind of thing. Kind of like when an angry parent tells their kid to be good or they'll beat them and the kid naturally gets angry and doesn't want to do anything but be bad.
What good would unbanning him bring? What good does allowing normal players to post do? It allows them to talk with the community and be a part of CG, something Crypto would like to officially be a part of without being labeled the Troll God, and maybe create a good name for himself; but that seems impossible at this point and even if he were unbanned, the way people look at him in CG would probably just have people picking at him until he retaliates, hoping he gets himself banned again.
I'm just saying that the reason for his ban is borderline idiotic and we would NEVER ban somebody from a gameserver for saying things like that. We would warn them and possibly gag them if they continued, but it was an april fools thread that was taken too seriously. If it were an option to reverse the ban due to bullshit, instead of unbanning him; I would go for that but I don't think we do that. As if we have any consistent formality in CG...
Either way my voice should mean nothing more than the rest of the communities, I didn't make this as an attempt to finally get him unbanned now that I'm a CL. Sadly the way the current "RULES" are for this type of thing say that it's the CL'S vote and then HA's vote that matter. I don't agree with how that works either, and think it should be more community dependent. Since Death has chosen not to vote it's up to me and Alpha and I don't think that's very fair because we both know Crypto as a friend where Inject's only ever known him as an enemy, but I guess that means he won't be getting unbanned. I feel like the community is torn on this and don't know what to do.

Worst Case scenario if we unban him: He calls someone dumb, or as Inject used to say "Do you have down syndrome or something?"
Best Case scenario if we unban him: He posts coherently and gets along with everyone.
He knows the rules, and if he's unbanned; he knows we'll be enforcing them (properly).
