Alright, I don't feel the best about being the one to do it, but I'm making a report regarding Firephoenixearl (I apologize in advance for such a long post).
Earl has been banned numerous times for various reasons, but each of these have been partial or temporary in the hopes that he will be able to shape up.
In this one, for example, Fire was reported for having given doctored scans. The ultimate verdict was that since the doctored scans could have been a accident, it wasn't necessarily ban worthy as long as Earl responded to explain himself. His only response was
"Hmm, im sorry but to my knowledge i haven't been breaking any rules (or at least i don't think i am). I would like to at least know which rule of the wiki says "fire has done something bad"." Despite the fact no real response to the issues was brought up, including the additional issues of toxicity, downplay, and wank, it was decided we should be lenient since Earl had become slightly better since his previous ban was lifted.
Now, I hate to be the one to say this, but it's time to face the music. It's been over a year since the report was made, and no change in behavior can be noted, only a change in the verses this applied to. After people looked over the profiles in
GetBackers after their initial creation and looked over the arguments about their powers, it was stated that most of the things on profiles and used as arguments were heavily out of context or simply wank, for example.
This is a a example of the average thread since the match ban Earl was subjected to was lifted. The thread is full of toxicity and problems in general, but to name just one is the argument made by Earl that Limbo's data powers will bypass Reinhard's defenses and abilities, despite the difference in their potency of his powers and the mechanics of his abilities, signifying extreme bias.
This is a thread one month later, with The Operator vs Yhwach. Here, it was argued that Limbo could not be reached by Yhwach despite his teleportation, and that he lacked any sort of method to break things that aren't supernatural, and that the Almighty would fail because defeating the Warframes is impossible for anyone to do in any capacity.
This thread is a more recent example of similar wank and toxicity, arguing for Rakudai to have higher-D hax based on nonstandard dimensions and using it as a argument to bypass
Accelerator's powers.
Even more recently this thread surfaced. Here, Earl explicitly stated that they were not willing accept any verdict except the one they wanted and explicitly would not drop the argument unless what they wanted to change was changed, effectively stonewalling the entire argument.
I understand there are numerous people who will inevitably feel that this report is made out of bias. For these reasons, I have compiled a list of additional threads that can be looked at for context and greater understanding of the issues at hand (as well as because of the sheer amount of info that needs to be looked over.)
Edelweiss vs Kars
Most Skilled Characters
Stella vs Lux
Mori Jin vs Ikki
Ikki Clone Discussio
Ikki vs Shalltear
Cole vs Ikki
Ikki vs Hinata
Ban vs Terumi
To summarize, I feel that the wiki should at least consider giving more serious punishment for Earl due to the reasons stated above on the grounds of extreme bias, wank, downplay, and general toxicity and rudeness.
