And if they didn't learn their lesson and keep right on behaving in the same manner that got them banned, they should be immediately banned again. I'm all for giving someone a fresh start - if they deserve it. The ban was justified and deserved. He shouldn't get an infinite number of "do overs" just because he can change his username and blatantly lie about his identity. BNM
Gonna have to say I agree with this. I'm really against perma bans, but in this case, mixum doesn't want to bring anything but his old antics.

Oh shit. I meant to give Carlito a 24hr ban but with the time change he might have gotten a 25hr ban instead. I feel really bad about that.
I think carlito has been around for a while without doing too much trolling. But since he was outed lately, again, he has gone back to the old MIX. I'm fine with what Sly did, even if he IS a ball- less bitch. I don't like permanent bans, even for idiots. They do take away from the forum but, personally, I can live with it. That said, if most here want permanent bans, I won't lose any sleep over it. If we are going to do a poll, my vote is that your name shows up with how you voted. As far as pressure to conform, I just don't see it. There are lots of posters that were down on Wes, and didn't even get any crap when Wes started playing better. Personally, I tend to be more of a homer, but I don't get fired up when someone calls out a player that's not playing well....but I'm not as patient with the 'trash, garbage, piece of shit' talk.

Re: Can you feel the mediocrity tonight? I never got what the big deal was about mixum. So he complains a lot...it's not like he's saying inappropriate things or attacking people...if you don't like his posts, ignore him.
I agree with The Sly Poke Her Dogg and his approach to this. IMO Carlito wasn't as disruptive as the posters constantly calling him out as 'mixum'. He did get progressively worse after being outed, but you have to admit he was also being consistently baited. There seems to be a pervasive opinion that he does not come her to discuss, but to disrupt. Maybe that's true, in which case, there is probably a perma-ban in Carlito's future. I'm OK with that if it comes to it. Maybe he's just one of those tormented people who simply can't accept good news without fretting over every possible negative future? Or maybe he's a troll. IDK. I'm for second chances and letting the process and protocol work it out.
Re: Can you feel the mediocrity tonight? I agree, if he is taking away from your pleasure on the board, just put him on ignore. Most are pretty knowledgable Blazer fans around here and realize he is just throwing short sighted statement out there to try to push our buttons. I actually think for a troll (if that is what he is) he is a pretty good troll. And he does follow the Blazers somewhat. He provides me much more reading entertainment than the Rube trolls who were clueless and rude. Anyways, I don't ever remember him taking personal shots at posters. We are a good and strong enough forum to not let mixup have a big impact on the forum. I say let him back . . . and ignore him.
