Okay I don't know what was said but Ant said it wasn't to severe so I'll go off of that.
Ant, mental instability is not a free get-out-of-jail card. Mental instability should be even more of a reason for him to not come back to the wiki and instead to seek professional help, especially after he insulted staff TWICE in the RVT (He even insulted you).
You're right, mental instability is never a free get-out-of-jail-card, but it's damn right a reconsideration of what happens to him.
Banning him for 3 months is more fair if anything, insulting staff is never this deep, we are not a draconian site of people who believe anyone who insults staff deserves to be banned forever. Neither are we a site who should dictate what someone who is insulted thinks, Ant knows himself, and although he is a bit too kind at times, he is not stupid. He believes the insult wasn't too severe and I'm sure the other insult of similar means wasn't too severe.
If we're seriously banning someone permanently from a hobby because they bloody get upset at the hobby we are far too harsh! Not only does it make them more happy, but it could lead to mental instability, that is a lot harder then people on this site claim it is.
I know you've probably gone through periods of mental instability, and so you should know that no one deserves to go through that over an insult that didn't affect the person!
What he did is wrong, and is definitely worth a ban! A permanent ban? No.
He straight up has no intention of improving himself post-ban with the behavior he exhibited. Doesn't matter how much he likes powerscaling, this kind of behavior is simply unacceptable.
That's a presupposition, are we really going to base a permanent ban of off a presuppositional claim. The answer should be no!
In no way shape or form does this look to be someone who wants to contribute to the wiki.
It's a hobby, why are we acting like someone needs to contribute to the wiki to be able to stay on the wiki!
If he really cared, he should have apologized to everyone in this thread (Including all staff present) and promised not to lose his cool again like he did over a simple misunderstanding by Lily.
You're right, he definitely should! However just because of that he doesn't deserve to be banned permanently.
