###Discussion relating to this
Who here feels that perma-banning okok for asking:
is it possible to cut photos on the fly with js?
Was justified?
If you do not completely agree, what would you have done?
- Nothing
- Bin & Warn
- 30 minute mute
- Something else?
In this case I wouldn't have done much, but I do see where Octavian is coming from. You know okok's repertoire and memoir, but I would like to freshen up a specific conversation: http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/9832921#9832921
He doesn't want to be a part of the community. He has repeatedly said he doesn't like us, and shown over and over that he disrespects us, the moderators and SO in general by flat-out ignoring most of what we say and suggest.
You want something to show he hasn't learned from the 10 bagillion times we told him to Google? http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/10217289#10217289
The day before that, when we had the "500 greatest songs of all time" argument, he joined and actually talked. That was a very good surprise, I thought that maybe he decided he can be a member. But he destroyed that later, just showing that if he actually wanted or cared, he could talk like a decent human being. I don't like penalties, they suck, and I've given him more and more chances because I'm an idiot and sometimes believe people can be better. But he has disappointed me over and over.
Perma-banning isn't really a thing with the muting system, since being in gallery is sort-of a drag, but I do agree that while Octavian's response seems harsh when looking at just this message, I can understand where he's coming from (oh look, I said the exact same sentence in the beginning. so this must be the end of the comment.)
