Oh man, why did I type such a long post last night? I'll shorten that behemoth down quite a bit. Let me start off by saying there are going to be two kinds of people in this thread. Ones that say "Impy is funny; give him mods" and those who say "He made mistakes, he can't enforce the rules adequately, burn him at the stake."
This is a forum.
Impurity is a fun guy outside of Bungie.net and some of his threads here can be pretty funny, but some cross the line and he knows it. I didn't see the thread he got blacklisted for, but if it wasn't that thread, it would have been something else. I'm not one to deny someone a second chance. I've had a lot of second chances myself (one dealt with a position of leadership so maybe that's why I'm more apt to lean on the "give Impurity a 2nd chance" side). If Impurity were to become a moderator again (hell, even before then), I'd like him to stop posting stuff blatantly against the rules, but he should keep posting a lot because that's what I liked about him when he was a moderator. Most of our mods are way too quiet (even the active ones - though, they are pretty chatty off of Bungie.net). Also, I would hope he can set aside any differences with the moderators he's had disagreements in the past. Apologizing isn't begging, Impurity, and there's nothing wrong with it. Impurity was a good moderator when he moderated, and I considered him better than a lot. If Impurity can change his ways, I don't see why he can't be a moderator again, but to be honest, if he keeps posting stuff blatantly against the rules, I don't see a permaban too far off.
There, that's shorter. I think I got all my long ideas condensed in there. ;-)
