It comes down to this - is removing this person beneficial to the community? If someone posts amazing threads 90% of the time, then trolls 10% of the time, chances are I'll give them chances.... >_> Most mythic members are long time institutions in the community, they're important to withold the sense of community and they're part of the experience. So that has a bearing sometimes. But as soon as they cross the line, just like anyone else, they're gone. --------------------------- That's how it used to be, actually. Back when I recognised the mythics and being mythic wasn't a blue title bar but reputation and influence. Now I don't really know mythic from regular. The Ninja's of today are less involved with the actual community functioning; posting and contributing and whatnot. I feel much less weighted than I did in the past. Nuking threads in 2006 would lead to people blocking each other over MSN, ugly XBL encounters and destruction of friendships - but now I'm distant enough, unknown enough to not step on toes. So no. We were always pretty impartial, or tried our best to be (inb4 snide comment by elmicker or Shai), but it's easier nowadays. [Edited on 04.01.2009 9:38 PM PDT]
