I think everyone here who frequents the IRC channel is aware that sixofour was banned. I wasn't there at the moment, but apparently some guys approved the decision. But what not everyone knows is that he was banned not only from #nesvideos, but from ALL channels where a particular person holds operator status. I talked a bit with him, in other channel, and he seemed very reasonable. I also invited him to other nonsense channel I waste my time in, and I didn't see nothing too absurd. My questions are: 1- What was he doing, to be banned? 2- If that particular person just didn't agree with his opinions, wouldn't it be easier to /IGNORE him? 3- Is this some kind of joke? I'm curious about it, because it seems it could happen to any other guy who tried to speak more freely. Thanks.

sixofour was being accused of trolling the piss out of the Ask Bisqwit thread, and a google search revealed that he hops from forum to forum doing much the same thing until he is banned in much the same way.
Kirby said so, so it must be true. ( >'.')>

I'll throw in my two cents and say that he basically gave every effort to disrupt the peace. Civil debate is one thing, but starting arguments just for the sake of arguing is not good for the site. Not to mention that I find it outright offensive to turn the site creator's thread into his personal argument forum. If he is really that opinionated he should clearly modify his debate style, and present his arguments in a method such that he doesn't completely derail productive discussion threads. I do understand your concern about "silencing opinions", but I think the moderation choice was correct. I must say I wasn't really impressed with the entertainment of his run, but his technical skill was quite good if his goal was to get people irritated. 3/7.5

It's kind of surprising it took so long for him to get banned, but I guess not many people paid attention to his anti-semitic rantings on IRC.

Indeed. That kind of technical level only comes with extensive tool-assistance.

Yeah, he should have worked harder on the submission text, but I'm finding this quite entertaining. And that does not explain the multiple bans.

If person X is a tool in one channel, person X can be expected to be a tool in other channels. Sounds easy enough to me.

yeah... hmm... but then he can be a tool in real life! The hitman is on his way, I believe.
