Brittney Spears, dead at age 26

Yeah, and apparently this is another bannable offense. What the fuck.

It's the "posting a misleading link" rule. WW actually got on my as for it a few years ago.

That's stupid. Ever been 'rickrolled' ? KA and even MJ did it a couple of weeks ago and nothing happened to them.

I'm not sticking up for D3V, but the double standards are pretty hilarious.

It's not exactly a double standard. Like I said, I got warned for it a while back. It's just that D3V's past behavior encourages a higher monitoring of his activities.

D3V probably provides 30% of the topics on this forum nowadays. He creates many post-worthy threads. People can change, Raziel. D3V now is definitely not D3V of the past.

All I'm saying is, KA/MJ posted RickRoll videos (an obvious misleading link) while D3V pulls the same thing with a flash video. Two links directing you to two videos. D3V is banned, KA/MJ don't even receive a warning.

So, yes, there are double standards.

I am lucky! I have never fallen for something like that! Besides, I wouldn't care if Brittany died anyhow.

And he's gone through these supposed "changes" multiple times in the life of this forum, only to revert back into stereotypical D3V. My ability to trust his current run of behavior is nonexistant, because history has proven he can't maintain it. It wouldn't surpise me in the least if several other members felt the same way. Enjoying his current trend of decent behavior, but on their toes for his next descent into absurdity.

If he's being watched more feverishly than other members, he's only got himself to blame for it.

Nah, D3V isn't close to being the model member, but he's nowhere near as bad as he used to be, and I don't think he will be in the future.

Your opinions would change if you were an active member and noticed his progress in becoming less of a retarded bafoon. Well, maybe not change, but it may surprise you.

Anyway, I was just pointing out the double standards. I don't really care, just made an observation. How about we don't enforce that ridiculous rule if no harm is done? Hell, if every member got banned for misleading links on some of the other forums I visit, there would be no member base.

Let me just clarify this so I don't look like more of an ass than usual. While I don't like D3v most of the time and wouldn't care if he were banned forever, I stuck up for him, as did Lenny. I don't think the ban was fair. However, WW makes the call.

Technically, it was against the rules, but so were the threads me and MJ posted.

Either way, let's just be sure not to blame KA for this, because KA was against it.

I don't even really care that I was even banned. Like i've said before, I think the rules need to be restructured. I tried to explain them in about 2 minutes worth of spam typing a while back and everything seemed to get rejected. I think as long as you aren't redirecting a link to a fucking WArez site, p0rn0 site, or anything that contains trojans then who honestly gives a fuck?..

D3V got banned because I could tell the link was fake without clicking it. I don't click links I think lead to videos and so was never aware of KA or MJ's offenses. The issue is that the people that did know didn't enforce the rules, rather than one of double standards.
