The simple fact that Phade is here with a poll shows what a signifcant impression he has made on the people here. Of all phade's banning victims this is the first I have seen with a poll asking if he should come back. It's also clear that Panda was also being watched like a hawk whever he was on. And not only that but the mod's ALSO were seriously intimidated by his argument's.
Evidence of both of these things can be seen here in this thread
here.
And then there is the little fact that phade's explanation for the second banning was basless and unjustifiable given the facts presented.
you phade, need to do some serious thinking.

Phade.
Actions speak louder than words. If you were neutral to his presence here then why did you AIM chat with him four hours over his first banning, and he still has yet to be unbanned? Would you have started a thread asking other people for their opinon on his presence? You claim indiference, but your ACTIONS speak otherwise. If you truly didn't care, I don't see why you have gone to the lengths you have because of him.
SpPanda was banned for being an out-of-control troublemaker. When he was allowed to return, he immediately started making trouble again, thus he was rebanned. Since he obviously did not learn anything from the previous banning, this ban length will be longer. If, when he returns again, he starts making trouble again, he will be banned for an even longer period of time.
Firstly you lead the public to believe that he is not being perma-banned and that you would allow his return at a later time. We discover months later than Panda had to create a new account because his older one is still banned. This has certainly been the longest temporary banning I have ever seen. And tell me, are these the words of someone who is neutral about the issue of SpPanda's presence on the boards?
I hope that these actions simply represent your past opinion of him and that things have in fact changed since then. But the way he was treated by you and the mod's only lead me to believe that you didn't have a problem with SpPanda the forum member, but Daniel Araujo, human being. I cannot see you going this far over simple spamming and asking for ROM's.
Whatever he did to get to them the way he did I don't know. But phade/the mods action's toward him show exactly how intimidated they were by him and how seriously they took his presence on the boards.
Now lets cut the crap, the people that want Panda back SIGNIFICANTLY outnumber the people that want him gone and I see no signs of the numbers changing to indicate otherwise. It's been made clear that people would be happier with him here.
So in other words, one part of the community is waging war on another part of the community because they take their community seriously enough to want to do so. Then they tell the powerless side to get over the loss cause it's just an online community. I'm glad people make so much sense." -- Tab
