I would like to highlight that Speed had a thread ban for several months, whilst weekly was banned from vsbw entirely for a year due to their actions surrounding RWBY, just so all the info is completely present.

I will say that I do not tolerate any proxy accounts nor do I enjoy seeing someone straight up take someone else’s words to use. Spinoirr has admitted to not being great at making arguments and thus feels that using Weekly’s words verbatim is worth more than his own.
I personally do not like this and believe that going through difficulty to form your own opinions and grow by yourself is more healthy for debating, in general not just for this site, but I will not claim to be any rules lawyer on the subject. That is a predicament that I don’t think can really be solved unless one of the two of them decides to end it.
It’s very obvious when Spinoirr is just citing Weekly though, like incredibly incredibly obvious.

Give Weekly some time to adjust. Quiet frankly he needs some time to showcase that he's grown, trying to ban him right from the get go ain't a good idea.
Give him some time to prove himself as opposed to rushing to ban him. The same shit happened to me after I was unbanned, give the guy some time to prove himself.

I would appreciate it greatly if Spinorr was left out of this, he didnt do anything wrong, all he did was ask for my opinion on threads every now and then, something that multiple users have done over the past year including a few members of staff, its unfortunately what happens when i was effectively the only active member knowledgeable on a bunch of otherwise dead verses

Keep in mind, me and Weekly had personal beef with one another over petty shit.
Give the guy a chance, much like the season people can change. Attempting to blatantly antagonizing him won't help.
Give him some time, staff can keep an eye on him but unless he's proven that he hasn't changed we shouldn't be trying to ban his ass to the Shadow Realm.
I was also supposed to be banned permanently, and I had a chance to change. So if you go back to banning himself without any evidence of him still acting the same then you can ban me as well.

Not entirely sure where i would need to post this as to get an answer, but is using someone else to bypass a ban allowed, seeing as someone had done the same to bypass a ban prior and it was practically handwaved. If so it should deffo be changed to not being allowed, as its literally just sockpuppeting with extra steps (not saying Weekly should get banned, im just perturbed that this is even allowed to begin with)

To add on to what Gin said, even Bambu, the dude who is WELL within his rights to hate Weekly's guts, is saying to give him a chance. I think we're within our rights to give Weeky a chance.

Anyways, I missed you too Glass, nice to see you again
Second off yeah, it was annoying at first to see stuff i disagreed with being implemented but its not like there was anything i could do about it beyond just venting, and if you look at the dates those were screencapped theyre from the very beginning of my ban, before i got on a medication regiment and mellowed out, like King explained above and as i will explain more below.
' at the end of that sentence and thought it was serious? Cmon Glass...
First off, it wasnt a group DM, it was a server for discussing RWBY in general, one i was making weeks before my ban was implemented as i had hoped for it to be used by the wiki as a whole, but then i was banned and we all know how that went. Only a handful of people got in before i could post the link to people here and i didnt want to have others advertise it for me.

You really saw the '
' at the end of that sentence and thought it was serious? Cmon Glass...Spinoirr is not and never has been a proxy, and i would greatly appreciate it if you didnt try to accuse him of such. I was approached by several members of the wiki, including staff members, over the past year for input on revisions and vs threads, its something that comes with being knowledgeable on obscure or less-popular verses, but this is not about people asking me for help so i will kindly ask you to not try to drag other people into this.
All of this is kinda irrelevant as Ant is asking explicitly for reasoning aside from stuff in the past. I fully admit i did some shit before but thats all behind me. Still not sure what inflated calc is being referred to but thats beside the point.
I mean, again, in the past that was true, but in the past year ive gotten into therapy, gotten a full time job i love, and got my adhd and anxiety disorders diagnosed and treated. I'm in a much better place mentally and emotionally than i was back then.

I agree with the idea that Weekly should be given a second chance, put on parole as Axx put it. I've seen his behavior on Zark's server, and have started to talk to him personally in DMs. I too can say that he has seemingly improved and finally put his big boy pants on.
These are big words coming from me, since I was one of the guys and supporters of the 2-A DOOM CRT, which Weekly (before his ban) tried to heavily demonize (both the CRT and its supporters).

There are multiple reasons why we (Some begrudgingly such as myself) accept proxying as a grey area. To understand that, we need to examine the use of bans as our defacto capital punishment. It is to keep out problematic behavior away from the platform. You can't seperate the behavior from the person commiting it. What you can separate though, is information and arguments from problemativ behavior. A solid argument about scaling dosn't stop being solid just because a jackass said it. So if a normal user wishes so, they can relay said arguments to the wiki. So its a win-win for the place: Problematic behavior is kept out, reliable and correct information comes in. Because lets face it, no proxy is stupid enough to repeat the misconduct that got the banned user banned in the first place. They're going to (Hopefully) filter out valuable information from a heap garbage most likely.
Tl;Dr: Informarion/Facts/Arguments are innocent and should not suffer from the sin of their idiot creator.

To punish and deter behavior in the future, certain privileges' are withdrawn. If you dont fufill one side of the punishment its not much of a deterrence. I do see your point however, and this'll probably be my last comment as to not derail. Have a good day.

Since I can talk more about this sort of thing, Weekly did occasionally DM me about CRTs/matches he disagreed with. While he did occasionally give me evidence from the source material, he never fed me posts (or even tried to, as far as I can remember). While a few of the screenshots (particularly ones involving Spinoirr) seem to err on the side of feeding posts, most of them seem on the fine end of just discussing shit.
I'd also like to bring up a few things from the Banned Users Using Proxies Thread; people seemed fine with posting a few arguments here and there from banned users, the issue was with having entire conversations take place. So that's the sorta thing that'd need to be demonstrated for it to be a rule violation. Near the end of that thread when it was brought up that a user copied/pasted a calc from Weekly onto the wiki, Ant said that was okay (although I do recognize that this seems less extreme than some of the Discord stuff pointed out above).

Yeah, there were two CRTs that took place after my ban that i was involved in and that people were fully aware of, one for Kill la Kill and one for League of Legends, and the only reason i was even part of them was because i was effectively the only active member at the time who was knowledgeable on the verses enough to organize revisions for them (Though Kingofwolves came in at the end of the LoL CRT to help finish it) so i was asked to help. And while i did assist off-site by making calcs and helping with page cleanups, i did not feed people arguments to make on my behalf.

I feel like you should've brought this up long ago when it was happening or even maybe a month or so after, but waiting nearly a year and until only after Weekly gets unbanned to bring up all this stuff to get him rebanned isn't really fair to him. Being that most of what you posted to show against Weekly is from a nearly a year ago, it shouldn't be used to ascertain the quality of his person now. Weekly has well earned poor reputation here on the wiki, no one here can refute that, but he served out his ban without issue for us and he's already been unbanned.
I believe that we should just leave him be for now.
- 21,644

I've only waited until now because of the appeal for a ban removal, if he hadn't had that at all I would've posted it already. But if everyone's agreed to give him one last chance then I'll be fine with it so long as we keep a close eye on him.

Just so people will avoid bringing it up in the future, the final conclusion regarding accounts using proxies was to be consistent with our "separating the artist from their art work" policy. We don't delete some otherwise not too harmful verses and/or character pages just because they happened to be created from someone who is notoriously horrendous IRL. To repeat, we don't delete PG-13 verses like Rurouni Kenshin just because Nobuhiro Watsuki turned out to be a certified pedophile IRL (Especially since there's no CP in that manga). Nor do we delete basically almost every Western verse from the 1920's to 1950's just because the various authors were KKK supporters; even those there were bits and pieces where that showed in their respective works and even people like Walt Disney were allegedly guilty and especially H.P. Lovecraft. But none of our profiles cross those lines and their still excellent works for indexing battle boards.
Likewise, if banned users still happen to have valuable information to share, then don't censor it solely because it came from a banned user. As long as it isn't a repeat of all the worst reasons why they were banned in the first place; he never bribed anyone or pestered the authors during the ban. There were a few users who came to them and they didn't mind briefly helping out in sharing calcs or details. And it's not like anyone explicitly shared a bunch of hostile comments without reading their text unlike how a few users did for some randomly unnamed offsite users who clearly hated the wiki, or how another used to do for users like Misaka Mikoto before realizing further. But that's just that, offsite comments should be judged separately from who wrote them or made the arguments.

I don't fully disagree with the intention but I think this is a bit apples to oranges, authors who have been proved to have certain views or have committed certain crimes were usually punished for them, or have passed away, either way they're out of our hands fully, not to mention they are not specifically targeting the VSBW community, so there would be no reason to ban their work from it, they won't be affected by it in any way.
If we ban someone it's because they are harmful to the community one way or the other and that is, as well as a way to remove them as a harmful element, a punishment we are dealing out, so circumventing it, even partially, lessens it beyond our scope. There's also of the issue that some users are banned because of propagating false information, in which case allowing them to continue to push out information is glaringly wrong.
I don't mind Weekly's return as long as we keep an eye open for eventual further misconduct, anyhow.

But seeing him make this thread-

Along with his random posting of nonsense in a majority of threads he takes part in.

Beyond a certain point of ridiculousness, it turns into a form of spam trolling though, and our staff members have to preserve their available evaluation time for more important tasks.
