Since we're allowed polls on the razzies and threads about Scotts ban it's only fair Stacey should be allowed to be discussed openly

For people who don't know what happened with Stacey she was caught admitting to saving photos out of Meet The Members and was given a permaban for it. She was only 15 at the time and has been banned for coming up 3 years now, she's not only learnt from her mistake but also grown up since then. There's been other cases of members admitting to saving photos and even using photos to find and contact members family and friends which is above and beyond anything Stacey ever did yet no punishment was ever given to those people. On top of that there have been permabanned members in the past who have been allowed a second chance on the forum (Scott included)

so do you think it's fair that Stacey should still be punished and not given a chance to prove she's changed since then?

(I know the result of the poll alone isn't going to get her unbanned but it could atleast wake admin up and make them release they don't know EVERYTHING that's best for the forum and the members opinions should be valued too)

and before a mod says I should take it up with an admin, it's better that they see a whole opinion from the forum rather than just one member.

Oh!

[Jordan.]

Yes it was

[Cherie]

just repeating what I said on the other thread.

I've never really understood banning people forever (especially when the person is in their teens or barely out of them) , I don't know what went on, but we all make mistakes and as long as we learn from them I don't really see the harm in letting her back on the premise that it would never happen again.

It wasn't just that though was it?

nothing to do with meet the members

[Novo]

is she even bothered about being unbanned anymore? i wouldn't have permabanned her in the first place, it was one of the most over the top reactions ever.

[joeysteele]

I accept totally the mods judgements on these issues but I myself would let her back if she wanted to do so.
I liked her.

[Jordan.]

From what I've heard before, most of the mods would let her back it's the admins stopping it.

Yet she was in the top 10 of one of the Most Loved competition, she must have something going for her.

I personally don't have a problem with Stacey.. We had a few little falling outs but nothing too serious.. However, where do you stop? If you let one permabanned member back, you'd have to let them all back?

[Benjamin]

Permambanned members have been allowed to return before.

The results are varied:

Lily for example returned from a permaban and is absolutely fine

Thomas C however was allowed to return (I still never understand why) and became an even bigger troll because he thought he could get away with more because he was allowed to return.

The difference with Stacey and other people who got permabanned is she never trolled the forum, she actually contributed.

[Cherie]

I can't see a big rush of permabanned members wanting to return tbf.

[arista]

Its ammi's fault

I think a 15 yr old should really be given the chance to grow and mature, so on one hand I think she should be allowed to return, but I think it should really be with the input from the people that she wronged.

Lily is lovely.

..no it's not Arista..asking for clarification on something which is still 'unresloved' is completely different to asking for a definite decision which has already been made to be reversed... and I think you know that, this has nothing to do with me whatsoever....

Did ML 8 teach you nothing?

[Marc]

I don't speak on behalf of any MODs and certainly not James, but I wasn't around when Stacey was perma'ed so I don't to what extent her actions were felt by others. I would be very happy to try and arrange some new form of banning and monitoring bans.

It's something I want to discuss with the MODs and get in place but I don't dare say anything else in case I give false hope!

We agree on something! I think she has learnt from this and others who have been permabanned have been given a second chance, she never has and unlike a lot of permabans has not made multi after multi which works in her favour.

Also to use Jessica (Sorry Jess) as reference some members do change for the better. Jess used to be a massive troll and spammer on here a few years back but she has completely calmed down and now is a great member to have on here.
