I voted no... just for the sake of it. In my opinion he should be banned for a little while, but he shouldn't be banned forever. Perhaps a month or two... but like everyone has said, it's up to icedawg.

A lifetime ban would be too harsh on the guy. It's not like he hacked the site or did something totally immoral, and it is true that he's not the only one that's joked around with ice. A community might punish in response to a kid playing a prank, but that punishment is never a permanent burden.
Especially when he didn't mean it, and when he's truely sorry and recognizes that he's gone too far. I doubt he would have pushed it much more anyways, it was just a little joke, nothing serious, thus a lifetime ban would not be cool.
I might be going overboard, but I know ffx as a friend, he's a good person and he doesn't deserve a ban.
I don't have a problem with a temporary one though, sometimes you do have to set limits, or at least make it clear where to draw the line.
think about it, all the pranks and the joking (i.e. WerBurns little "punishment") really encouraged it. he's not all to blame.
This is retarded. It's not like it was personal or a threat.
no, but it's annoying. Ryan specifically said not to create multiple accounts.
This may be true but If what Icedawg is suggesting is a lifetime ban then would one rule broken and an annoyance justify it? I stick by my temporary ban opinion. Perhaps you could come up with creative ways to get him to make it up to you... but this is just bluntly cold hearted.
On the other hand I agree with the fact that FFx steped way over the line with this whole ordeal and needs to be taken care of in a 100% cold a serious manner, But even that has its justifiable limits.
a month ban.. A year ban... life? What did he kill someone?
Just ban him for a week if it's that big of a deal, lesson learned.
I dont think a week would do justice, I still say a month.
We don't really know if Ryan was planning on a lifetime ban in the first place. But I hope he'll give Bryce another chance.
well, seeing as i can't PM icedawg anymore, im largely to blame for this too...ffx was talking to me, and he was like 'i think your punishement you got is funny' and i was 'ya, heh' so ffx goes 'i think ill see if i can be next to be punished' then i gave him the whole idea and everything...he created the account, but i was the one that fixed the avatar sig etc., and then ffx made the post...if yer gonna ban someone, ban me...ffx is, what, 13? ...i should know better
I don't really see a reason for any banishment at all, but thats just me..I mean, we all know him (and Werburn for the matter) and we know they are deticated forum members who dont intend on messing the board up..now if it were just some noobs who just joined I'd be diffirent but in this case I think a warning will do, I just dont hope people make it hobby to mess around with ice, I mean we dont want him to leave AGAIN..so give him a break lol, if it wasnt for him we wouldnt even be here talking =)
I cant say I am really a regular poster anymore lol..but thats just my litte opinion.
I actually PM'd icedawg by ffx-dreamz's request to help tell him the truth and his apology. I got a response from icedawg, and he said that he accidently deleted his own account. I thought that was weird. Anyway, I'm assuming Icedawg may still have his account intact.
LMFAO Ice accidently deleted his own account instead of the LCEDAWG acount? Man. I'm sorry to hear that though, but it cracks me up.Quote:

Perhaps thats the reason ffx got banned, he made ice accidently delete his own account. :(
I dont really think ffx should be permabanned. Maybe he went a bit too far, but he can't be blamed much for it, all the funny 'punishements' that the other people had made him want go get the same kinda attention...
i voted no cause i'm a prick
You know what would be funny? If we held some kind of trial. We could have witness testimonies and a defence and prosecution... :P
But I'd never say ban someone for life unless they really sucked. Like being really mean and/or doing really bad stuff.
(Anyway, how could you not tell that wasn't icedawg? His name is ALWAYS all lowercase) :?
I locked this. It is up to icedawg.
[b][size=18]Everyone, please read the announcements.
