Posts from Amnesty for Wlk777. Auto-translated

I have nothing to say to you; we are just dumb pigs, and you are the Great Primal Mother, and we are so dumb that we don't even understand why you bother paying attention to us.

Do as you please, now that you’ve been given the right to speak for everyone.

Sorry for interrupting the constructive dialogue, but yesterday Valiko was hopelessly losing the battle for amnesty, and now he's already in the lead... what could be the reason?
It seems he'll be a perpetual lucky guy here - steals, drinks, gets banned; steals, drinks, gets banned, it's romantic)))

First, the active online players unsubscribed, then the periphery organized a flash mob, it's all logical.

It was immediately clear that an anonymous poll shouldn't be conducted - now it's hard to figure out what dead accounts did to improve the statistics.

I think that the relevance of this topic, in general, is the most stupid idea in relation to the forum!!!

I think this topic is pointless and a really stupid idea for the forum!

For future reference.

Yes, there are people here who claim to communicate a lot with Warlock, although they are blatantly lying – in their opinion, all means are justified in the struggle.

Open the list of those who voted!!!
Otherwise, close the thread...!!!

Definitely in favor of unbanning him.

Is this perhaps coming from someone who was banned on the Hive and created a clone (or clones)?

The problem is that those who vote for a ban do so with bias and generally lack experience of positive interaction with him.

I have had both positive and negative experiences communicating with him. After he was banned the first time, as a result of a dispute with Alex R (he created a clone at that time and posted in the "Dialogues with Moderators" thread), I personally wrote a letter to the Creator asking for him to be unbanned. He was unbanned, he repented, wrote that he would not do it again, etc.... Then he was banned again permanently, and a poll was created about unbanning him – I voted FOR. He repented again, behaved well for a long time, and then openly started insulting everyone on the forum, and I won't even mention the swearing in the Battle.net game. It feels like the person is no longer afraid of bans, thinking that they will vote to unban him anyway. The second unban poll is already not even funny and seems like some kind of nonsense.

In general, this is a very insightful post and accurately describes the situation:

That's what I'm saying, his self-defense approach is very inadequate; he doesn't understand where it's just teasing and where it's already an attack. And he doesn't know how to respond to these attacks in a way that his opponents lose morale, rather than gain it.

He complained that he is given violation points, while others are not. This is because others understand the limit of acceptable sharpness in their expressions, and he doesn't. As a result, it's not a clear response from a tough guy, but a clown's tantrum. Which, of course, provokes further aggression towards him.

This is a common law of social psychology – the community somehow eliminates inadequate personalities. I think Valik knows him not only on the Hive, but also in real life.

We can summarize the voting results.

Currently, 42 people have voted, and the result is 50/50%. This, in turn, indicates that the forum has mixed feelings about this person.

We can draw some conclusions from the voting.

Currently, 42 people have voted, and the result is 50/50%. This, in turn, indicates an ambiguous attitude of the forum towards this person.

The attitude is quite clear.

Out of these 21 votes (half of which came in a single batch over the past 24 hours), most are either fake accounts or from people who are not very familiar with the online version of the game.

And the majority of those who were deeply involved in it and interacted with this person are against unbanning him. Dirty explained it well in the text above.

I agree!!!
This vote is not permissible or legitimate due to the secrecy of the voting process!!!
Even if we disregard the (censored), it still wouldn't be in his favor!!!

We could, of course, recreate the poll, but I don't see the point.
Based on the posts, we can fairly accurately determine how each person voted. I specifically reviewed and counted who likely voted for which option in this thread.
Against, in my opinion: LeBron, Wicc, numOne, Oelm, Sem56, DP, Piterius, Redwhite, FTS, Rimpel2, Samurai. The rest are for. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
I got 11-11 - which is the same as what we're seeing.

You, you smartass, write down who is for it and provide at least 1-2 reasonable arguments why (censored) should be brought back???

I voted against Wlk. Simply to preserve the World in the future. Before him, the forum was quite friendly. Skirmishes were rare and quickly died down. Newcomers, upon joining us, accepted the forum's traditions and, after some time, seamlessly integrated into the sandbox without harm to themselves or the forum.
After Wlk's arrival, the forum changed. I'm not considering his conflicts with other players. To the forum, he is just one of many; he did not participate in the formation and development of the Community, did not organize, run, or judge tournaments, and moreover, many people play better than him. But with what arrogance he writes about the World! If you read him, he practically presents himself as the keeper of traditions!

A bad example for newcomers. To mean something in the Heroes community, in the classic sense, you need to go a long way — either as an organizer and judge, or as an authoritative player. Or at least as a benevolent forum member. That is, step by step, to rise on the forum, long and hard, and moreover, it's unknown whether you will become a strong player or gain authority.
But following Wlk's example, it turns out there is another path — being rude, starting scandals, provoking discord. The result is almost instantaneous; heightened attention to your person is guaranteed.

If you read the tribune, there are already people following that path. They have an example before their eyes. It's quite difficult to put them in their place because — are they any worse than Wlk? Sooner or later, these "people" will realize that there is strength in numbers and will unite.
And then the forum will howl, and normal forum members will flee from here.

I don't care whether Wlk wants to return or not. If he returns the same as before (99% chance of that), it will be enormous harm.

We had such an example in our city. A short, quiet guy came to our tournament — not stupid, sharp-tongued. He learned to play fairly quickly, maybe reached the top ten in skill level. He brought his friends along to play too. And after about a year, people stopped coming to the tournaments. Rudeness and insults from this group were incessant — because someone couldn't play, was of the wrong nationality, or they simply didn't like the person's face. I myself am to blame for letting it go so far. It escalated to confrontations with this gang, and later with the person who was covering for him. The scandal was long and murky. After that, championships weren't held for a year.
That guy was permanently banned, and the people's trust in the city's Heroes tournaments had to be restored over a long time.
