Who says he's perma-banned?

This
isn't a personal reason.
Bladez has been a nuisance to everyone. People like him are a threat to the entire future of Tribes. No one wants to play in a server full of bullies.
Ghost wrote:No one deserves the power to ban someone.
I disagree. There needs to be some punitive action taken against people that disrupt the server or soon it will be full of trolls like Bladez.
"Spare the ban, spoil the troll"
Ghost wrote:All drama that you guys claim Bladez brings can be voided by simply ignoring him.
Why do you think the rest of the community needs to modify their behavior when he's the one causing the problem?
If a drunk wanders into your house and starts pissing on the floor, do you just tell everyone to ignore him? ..or do you throw him out on his ass?
You don't accommodate assholes. You remove them until they learn to behave themselves.
The problem with Bladez is that his crappy attitude drives away other players.
There are times when I've decided not to play because I can see that he's already in the server (and I'll bet I'm not the only one).

I'm fine with him playing Tribes.
I'm not fine with him being a continual asshole to everyone in the server.
If there no punishment for his behavior, he will just continue to be a fuckhead because he already thinks he's "special" and doesn't have to behave like a normal person.
He constantly evades passing votes to kick him when he becomes so much of a pest that no one wants him there....so he just keeps on harassing people because he has no fear of consequences...
..and then he has the balls to brag that he "will never be banned"

This poll is for Bladez, not the administrators.
He needs to learn that being an asshole has a price... that being that no one gives a crap about him and his (long overdue) ban.
Ghost wrote:Bladez is a part of this game as much as anyone else, like him or not. I sure as hell don't but i'm not an emotionally sensitive fuck that flies off the handle at the slightest trash talk.
Bladez does more than "trash talk". I have demos of him TKing and boosting me around the map. I'm sure he has also done the same to others.
He is nothing but a server-bully.
Ghost wrote:Valuable or not, Bladez is a member of our community!
Are we really that hard up for players?
I'd rather have Fox, Ecko and S_hift back, if all your'e concerned about is increasing the player-base.
QUALITY is better than QUANTITY and let's face it, Bladez lacks both.

Oh, It easily could be...
