You don't get it do you? he is guessed, stripped from premium and will never come back. He was pretty big in the speeders community and we are more concerned about what happened than trying to hit someone on the ground. (maybe you want cc to strip his medals now and blablabla..)
betiko this is not true. I think you are like me who thought point dumping was a perma ban. We were talking about this the other dy in live chat after a player who point dumped was back playing and the rules actually say it is only a 1 month ban for first offense of it.
Point Dumping Infraction disciplinary levels are as follows:
1 Month Website Vacation
Permanent Website Vacation
Note: Users retain the right to rebuttal via E-tickets as with any Infraction.
He got a 1 month forum ban in october for opening a sexist suggestion thread, so he was already in trouble. Someone who point dumps like this is someone who wants to quit and before that wants to make sure he won t be tempted to come back imo. Max is most probably gone forever. You can t deny he s already punished by the site and by himself, so the "why" is the biggest question..
Burnout perhaps?
Look at HA he got overexcited in game chat etc.... after he played way too many games.
Whenever i look for a speeder to play Max was always there playing a couple.
He may have got bored and like you say found away to be banned forever.... but I daresay his multi will come back when he gets the bug to play again.
Yeah, looks like a 2013 resolution or something: stop playing cc lol. Also last time i saw him before the incident he was a major, haven t seen him too often with that rank so maybe he went on a losing spree from there and got so pissed that he started to point dump and quit?
Goodbye Max
Warning for the vultures ?? Really ? At least two raised their ranks by two tiers....Correct me if I am wrong but isnt this just like farmng ?The only difference is you dont have to actually play the newbie.Just asking
I mean intent was there after one game if you ask me but some of these game counts are sad man 44 games and all you get is a warning ?
Sort of making a mockery of the point system,and this forum arent they ?

Even if they were farming for points, the first offense is always a warning. I guess the correct question you are looking for is:

Nah I just think that point dumping is a shitty way to go if you're going to measure a person's contributions to the site. This sounds more like a farewell thread than a response to major cleanup due to max's special form of Au Revoir. He leaves a huge mess for the mods to clean up and all I hear is sentimental bullcrap about how we're going to miss poor, poor max. Ooh, what happened to him, I'm reaaaallly concerned??? Sniff, sniff. Start a farewell thread in his soiled honor if you want to answer max's CC cry for help.
On that note, Im going to lock this. There is nothing else that needs to be said regarding max's point dumping or the others point collecting.
================
Update:
After further review of how we give disciplinary measures for point dumping cases, we take back this perma ban issued on maxfaraday and replaced it with a 30 day ban. He has already served this allotted time and is allowed to come back once again.
For those who may have forgotten, this rule was amended from being a major infraction into a special case infraction last May of 2011. Any past PD cases before that shall remain as it is.
