A few days ago Rageblade & Trygon were banned from this site. Rageblade agrees not to do it again and started spamming us with bot accounts (including his own). Trygon (another banned user, funny how that works) claims we have 'spyware' on this website. Strangely, google hasn't noticed any and the pages they tested were the forum index and the home page.
I suppose I shouldn't expect any better from people who were immature enough to force me to ban them in the first place. However, it did teach me a valuable lesson:
Some people are willing to compromise the accepted ethical standard in fits of impotent, childish rage or for competitive advantage.
I probably should have simply banned them because I knew their past behaviour. However, I believe everyone deserves a second chance. Simply because some people choose to burn it to keep themselves warm instead of using it should not govern my behaviour.
Trygon's admission of guilt:
Based on Trygon's actions of re-iterating the claim on his own site without actual evidence.
Rageblade's Admission of guilt: (Of course he used his own IP and account to start spamming as well...clearly a mastermind of SPAM)

(11:22:10 PM) The Blades Pulse: Me & Trygon have only 9 more pages to go
