This is probably the closest to how I feel about it. I don't buy the argument that anyone with any sense at all would believe that he wrote the signature himself. Calling it a "scarlet letter" is, in my opinion, a bit dramatic. It is punative in that anyone reading any of HJ's former posts will become aware that he was a fraud. Not sure that is a bad thing, really.
That said, it is not consistent with the way that previous bannings have been handled. Moreover, I don't think it is something that we want to implement going forward. Therefore, it will be removed.
to bad. i Actually LIKED it. I know i a in the minority here, but honestly, you fuck up as hard core as he did, and go a little off kilter...well, ya get what ya get. I would say that if they (he) are ever unbanned, then the sig would come down, but sometimes having a bit of fun/teaching a lesson/giving warnings to others is the way to go.
Of course I was the one who started a "guess what name so and so will se when they comeback" thread, so I might not be completely unbiased:biggrin1::tongue:
In that thread (which was in response to the ex members departing thread where he went bonkers so bad he was officially listed as reason for banning :suicide by moderator) my thought was, well fucker should not have spouted off the most vile and hateful things imaginable. Gets what he gets. I stipulated that if he returned via PROPER channels that the thread should be excised. Of course people whined about it and the thread was closed pending mod action (and what ever happened there? hmmmm...I gave it ample time and would like an official ruling:tongue: at the time a bunch of mods were on vacay and the site was lagging fierce, but what about now?) Now it would prob be against the rules of LPSG, though at te time it was not against the strict letter of the TOS. I was told my another member that it violated the Spirit of the LPSG TOS (bullshit) and behold it was all locked up.
Where was i going with this....?
Oh yeah, i don't see anything wrong with it, I feel it would save a ton of hassle and spare most of the "Why did...get banned threads", provide a good chuckle, and could be changed back to whatever, whenever said member came back.
If I ever get banned i posit something like "Banned for being an insufferably mouthy, whiny little bitch, and a rabble-rouser to boot!" for my sig!:biggrin1:
I would totally me fine with it!
As for the (now sadly gone) HJ altered sig? I thought it wasn't in poor taste, and was funny!

Probably a good thing I am not the site owner, LOL:lmao:
