There are still some adv+ members that are trade banned, and it wouldn't be fair to demote them.


I wholeheartedly disagree.

I disagree with your disagreement. It isn't fair to impose anything retroactively. There's a reason why many countries around the world outlaw retroactive laws.

If the user got advanced+ and then did something to get a trade ban then they don't deserve to keep the advancement.

We're a Neopets community. Not a full freaking country.

That's your current rank (well one of them) :p You are currently MOTM.

I agree. Let me add this in: Being anything above a member here is a privilege, not a right. If one is no longer allowed to be promoted because they broke the rules, why should one be allowed to keep the privilege of being anything above a member if they break the rules?

I don't get your example because Advanced+ is free. The parallelism just isn't there.

 

I also don't think you understand the concept of a privilege with that specific example.

Let's put it in a hypothetical situation where the owner of a park wishes to charge people who walk through it $10. The charge didn't exist before. If he wants to enforce the rule, would it be right for him to charge every single person that ever walked through the park, even if the people walked through the park before such a charge existed?

Pure brilliance. Flawless.

They should be allowed to keep the privilege because the additional consequence of demotion didn't exists when the offense was made. If such a consequence was implemented during their time, the said persons may have been more careful in trading.

It isn't fair to impose many things retroactively. But to say "anything" is shortsighted.

I actually agree with nitro. It sets a bad precedent that we can change our rules so flagrantly and without proper logic. I can understand in extreme circumstances which threatens the sites survival, but to act out something because we suddenly change our mind opens up a whole spectrum for abuse.

I still think trading bans should be permanent, to tolerate criminal behaviour, thievery and deceit does not look good for our site as a whole. I just don't think we should be applying new rules to old incidents.

I think there is no need at all for a graphical effort to be made in relation to trade-banned users.

The member title and the member bars perform the exact same function in this case. The loss of the ability to have a custom member title is an additional punishment that I see no need to remove either.

 

TBH, I agree with this.

 

Also, when does the 'punishment' end? :p

A trading ban serves the purpose to alert the community to an 'untrustworthy seller/buyer' based on speculation and/or evidence. Criminal behaviour, felony etc. is breaking the law of the land. Not the rules. There are no explicit laws to out-law it.

Why allow the community to house people who cannot be trusted?

There are various different international and national laws that prohibit the sale, handling and conspiracy to enhance in handling of stolen goods (material or otherwise).

Trading bans are not enacted based on speculation.

It's out of the scope. This is a forum/cheating website, not a jurisdiction.

 

Also, we have warnings, suspensions and bans (there is a section for this). I'd think you'd be more sympathetic having been in there (multiple times) yourself. Why should we also house someone who's willing to break the rules?

 

If we're willing to overlook your transgressions with a simple disciplinary action then I think you can come to terms with mine.

 

Also, I never explicitly broke the trading rules. I've never traded illigit goods here, only on other sites. It was my own choice to openly admit that I have previously done so on other sites, once again, never here.

There's a difference between being a bit silly or rude and breaking law, violating trust and indulging in behaviour that can tarnish the site's reputation.

You're right in that we aren't a jurisdiction but we still have to follow laws and procedures in multiple countries. If we don't, we have to face the consequences of legal and civil action. I've already seen it happen to two different websites I've been on, and I don't fancy a court case because we house criminals like yourself.

You mean Hypochondriasis which only applies to health issues. Of course you would state that, you have nothing to lose as you've already been outed as a thief.

As I've said multiple times, yes, I more than gladly will, as long as @ Frizzle stops slandering. He's already been warned once.

No one overlooks my transgressions. They are recorded.

And you did break our trading rules. We do not permit anyone who trades in stolen goods to trade here at all. It does not matter whether those stolen goods were for trade here, or elsewhere.

Also, we don't permit homeless people into convenience stores, because they've been known to steal candy bars.

It's bias. Period.

 

But tbh, I've also had enough (like everyone else). So can we please drop it from now on @ Frizzle ?

Anyway. I like the notification in the member title cause it means they can't be anything but banned from trading. Removing that would suggest that it could be changed and you know someone would bitch about it being racist or something if a staff member refused to change it because they were banned from trading.
