The admins have no, and I mean NO, guts in using a 1 year ban. They only use it for dupes. They simply have no guts. I gotta say, kudos.  No, actually, you don't. My gut tells me I need to. Do you disagree with my gut? When your gut tells you to insult someone, yes, I disagree.

I'm not insulting you, am I?

You gave "kudos" to a comment I previously said was insulting.

Then, my apologies, I am sorry to have insulted you.

Although I must say, sometimes the truth must be spoken in such a way to get your point across, and not intending to be insulting. I agree with Alemas, but not to the point of insulting anyone. The primary reason I find it insulting is not that it's blunt or even harsh, but that it is utterly false.

Well, while the Admins may use it periodically, it is usually either a) lifted, or b) duped around. Maybe Alemas is saying you don't use it as often as he thinks it should be?

Even the "it" is a factual error. We never use "one year bans" for duplicates — that's pointless. I think he meant infinite blocks, but anyways. And we have had quite a few infinite blocks that aren't being raised, but why is it a bad thing to let some users have more chances? Permablocks are for users who are incapable or not interested in being constructive, normal community members. MsD showed that he is capable and interested. We care about all users, not just the ones who follow the rules 100% of the time. Also, we do not tolerate evading permablocks with duplicates.
