Petition To Have User "Xx{Midnight}xX" Banned from FFR

[Coolboyrulez0]

Over the past few years on FFR, fellow member, Xx{Midnight}xX, has repeatedly expressed and showcased toxic, violent and negative behaviors.
While most members, including I, have often giving him the benefit of the doubt, he has never fully corrected these behaviors and returns to them in sporadic fits of rage, most often about simfiles in FFR.
Commonly, in simfile discussion threads, he spews obscenities at people who contribute to this game, simply because he subjectively disagrees with how they have decided to represent the song.
Objectivity is lacking most, if not all the time, and his comments are often personal attacks upon the simfile authors, rather than constructive criticism.
Today I stand (figuratively and confidently) before you, to perform the function that no one wishes to do, but everyone wishes SOMEONE would do:

I request a petition to have user Xx{Midnight}xX banned for a debatable amount of time (with the proper mods and admins) for his repeated toxic behaviors.
If this ban does not mitigate or remove these behaviors, I shall request a permanent ban of this person's IP.

I will update the OP with all the voices that are in favor of this decision and voters may showcase these behaviors via quotes, which will be added to the OP.
Even if you do NOT agree with the petition, feel free to voice your concerns, thoughts and feelings about the subject in this thread.

Signed. Inb4 this is locked or deleted. Tired of Xx{Midnight}xX's unwanted opinion showing up.

Could you link an example of bannable behaviour (In your opinion) that he's displayed?

If he weighs the same as a duck, he's made of wood, and therefore, a witch.

Sure but you'll have to forgive me if I'll do it tomorrow.
It's 11:22PM here and I am not in a position where I'm willing to search through these posts, especially after typing up the OP.
I will add these, of course, tomorrow.

No problem, Just add them to the OP i suppose.

Rofl, people's asses being hurt a few days before Christmas.

No preference. It would be better if you take this to an admin/mod via PMs than make a public forum about it rofl.

I sense this thread will cause more commotion than help that is intended.

Little side note:

This *petition* is a waste of time and space here on FFR, CBR.

Think about it, if everyone starts signing this and it passes by some miraculous way, then everyone will start making petition posts about anyone that trolls or rages.

If my memory serves me right, you are huge troll yourself (cough) so if someone started a petition about you and it had enough signatures to ban you for a lengthy repeated time how would you feel?

Just take it to an admin. Austin has become a troll for a long time now, compared to how he was in VC before FFRDeath. But he isn't different then AlexDest or anyone else for that matter that has a dick up their ass.

Get over it and move on with your lives, it's FFR not the White House. We've come to know that this site went to hell in a hand basket the minute the site was revived.

This seems excessive

[Zakvvv666]

I can see where this is going.

I love that movie xD

Signed. I think the community would be more fun, welcoming, and supportive if he were gone, and if he has to be forcibly removed, so be it.

[DissonantMuse]

I find this quite extreme. I'm pretty disappointed with FFR's attitude recently, there's little to no respect for some people on here.

[Xx{Midnight}xX]

I'm not gonna defend myself at all, there's no point.

But I will say this. If you all want to get a little "revenge" or have some fun what ever be your case

Go here and say what ever you'd like me to see. I encourage it completely.

Let me have it. Thrash me with whatever words you want.

I'm actually rather curious of whatever you all have to say.

As soon as I saw the thread, I thought this would be some serious TGB material, but no, this is actually a decent thread. Except this:

I disagree. There are no reason in the world why people wouldn't be allowed to express their opinion, although maybe it wouldn't hurt for that guy to come up with them with slightly less adversity/agressivity/anything that can make his posts repelling.

However I'm not gonna sign this, and since this is a serious thread, I'm gonna give some reasons:

I'm not a fan of the banning system, as I really don't think it's the way to do things (to some extent of course). I don't like the idea of taking something away when it bothers people and not thinking any deeper than that. This kind of action doesn't even help fixing the unwanted behaviors in a community, since people come back, do the same, and aren't even enclined to do anything different. Speaking of which, I think that emphasis should be put on rewarding the better people of this community (I've even sent people some PMs to tell people I appreciated some things they've been doing, Razor, Sky Kitten and Icyworld come to mind), instead of just mindlessly whiping the one that commit misconduct, even if repeatedly, but I'm stretching away from the isolated midnight case (which seems to be common with a few users actually)

As far as this petition goes, I would sign it if you wanted a member of the staff to deal with him, and that actually makes a lot of sense to my eyes. You clearly aren't the only one to state that you dislike his attitude, and well, it seems fair to ask the higher ups to fix the situation, without suggesting anything like a direct ban.

Lastly, I have to say that what you don't like about this game has been slowly getting better actually. I'd rather wait and see how he is going to turn out. Maybe he's gonna settle and act nicer...

That's about my opinion. Also I'm calling out the guy to write in this thread (please take the time to answer this seriously and not throwing out some lines of a baseless opinion if you happen to read this) if you didn't already ninja me. =)

PS: This kind of OP overall seems like a decent attitude to adopt on here, advening the situation has been discussed with other staff members already.

EDIT: Sadly ninja'd.

This thread is appalling. This community has sunk to a new low IMO.
