@Pyrephox said in JKER Temporarily Banned Discussion Thread:

I will say, speaking for myself, in this particular case, the things that tipped the scales for me towards a permanent ban were that the poster used DMs to try and target a specific other player for harassment/accusations of bigotry by involving a third party who did not solicit the contact and was made vocally uncomfortable about it. The chances that similar contacts would continue and cause distress to people who just want to post on an internet games forum was high enough that I, personally, wasn’t comfortable with allowing that poster to continue to engage with the forum.

I have an administrative question which is; How is linking an old forum thread targeting a third party for harassment?

As a point of order, I feel the need to point out that the way this forum is currently configured nothing prevents a banned posted from continuing to DM people if they feel inclined to as registrations are fully open.

Prior to that, he was also known to brag about dueling Jedi, duels that he nearly always lost. You’d think that would’ve encouraged more caution about dealing with less kind Force Users…

If you know anything about Merek, two things are always consistent. 1) They’ll always play the same character. 2) They’ll never back down from a fight they can’t win.

There’s been at least one game where he died on an almost monthly basis due to trying to fight the story NPCs with a new Merek showing up right after each time.

JKER was not posting here to join here. JKER was posting here to get revenge for a perceived grievance elsewhere, hence the crazy DMs.

If you want to fine hone your troll radar, I can provide you with some non-speculative information.

JKER was a mostly inactive poster who had a pre-existing disagreement from years back and seeing the topic raised again they ended up posting about it. The one(1) of two(2) DM’s they sent was a link to the previous time the topic was discussed. The other DM was a suggestion that the best thing to tell/teach problematic players is to let things go.

Since they were inactive outside of rehashing ancient arguments, they being banned shouldn’t be much of a loss to anyone even them.
