Am I missing something? Why do people care if someone got banned? The bottom line is a web forum is like an orwellian dictatorship. If you're in it you don't have many rights so just hope the government is good!
Like any social networking application, people are allowed to form friendships or at least make acquantinces... how are you not seeing the reasons to care if someone gets banned?

i think we should have a poll on dr jeebus.
if we get 90 percent want him back we should put him on a prohibionary acount. with 1 more infraction is a permaban

They have brought people back from a ban before, and they always get banned again. Which is why they have stopped doing it.
It does not matter if 1% want him back or 99%. He knew what he was doing. He knew the risk. To say he otherwise would be to dishonor his memory. He was a smart man.
We should remember him for his contributions to the forum, not for the mistakes he made that led to his banning.
It's a pop culture reference you don't get. Dr. Vink from Are You Afraid of the Dark?
And I can't understand why anybody would want that guy back. He was knowledgeable and posted a lot, but he was wrong as much as he was right and was often a dick about it. I also can't understand why anyone thinks making an exception for the guy, just because he was a prominent member, is a good idea.

I can tell you right now that's not going to happen even if 100% want him back.

How about no?
1) The site isn't run by popular vote. This is an internet forum, not American Idol.
2) Jeebus knew what he was doing when he got himself banned, that does not incline the staff to grant him a second chance. He doesn't deserve it.
3) Even, by some cracked out twist of fate, the staff did feel compelled to overrule good sense and site policy and unban him, Jeebus posted with more than one gimmick while suspended. That is not the behavior of someone who wants to play by the rules.
4) Why would the staff agree to unban someone who clearly doesn't want to abide by the rules?
MTGS staff is fair most of the time. If they banned people simply for assholishness then our much beloved {mikeyG}(Mikey is a peach for reals though) would have been banned long ago. However regular assholishness or troublemaking tends to make it easier for mods to infract you. Its surprising that the Dr wasn't banned for his behavior though. He's one of those guys you'd expect to go to jail because he went streaking through a preschool but ended up in the slammer for stealing people's identities instead.

Truthfully, his attitude problems were only a part of his infraction history, and not even a majority. He had warnings and infractions for a few different things many times over. So I can't even say his knack for rubbing people the wrong way with his attitude was the sole issue.
all i can say is, rules are rules, and i'm not sad to see him go. i know i can have a bad attitude at times, but he just fed on others' - and his own. it would have been funny were it not so sad.

Now playing Transformers: Legends. 27-time top tier finisher and admin of the TFL Wikia site.
You know, I'm tired of this accusation. People run their mouth and act like they have some idea what is actually happening. Even when you're half-reading the conversation at hand, you apparently just don't want to see what is actually going on. Let me spell it out for you.
The very first thing that I said in this thread was that Jeebus got what he deserved. Did I say anything about any Mods there? No, I didn't. And I wouldn't have. Until Woap came along and mouthed off to someone else just because they made a comment about hyperactive modding on this site. And that comment was correct. It also clearly had nothing to do with Jeebus getting banned, and Pixel never said it did. But that didn't stop Woap from running his mouth and belittling Pixel for something that he never said in the first place.
But I suppose people should just look the other way at that kind of behavior. I mean hey, even though Jeebus got suspended for, lack of a better term, being a dick, it's perfectly okay for a Mod to do the same thing, right? Sorry, but no. If a random user can't act that way, then it should be abundantly obvious that the Staff can't either. But they do. They always have. And I will always call them on it. Always. No matter how much sycophants like yourself try to flame me for it. I'm not on the path of least resistance here. As I have said any number of times, I love the community here. I loved them when they were on news, and I continued to feel the same way when everyone moved here. I love having a place to come talk about absolutely anything that I could want. Salvation is great for that. There is something for everyone. And I won't let anyone interfere with that, whether it's some random peon or some snob Administrator(s).
And let's make something else clear. I don't hate the entire Staff. There are a handful of them that do a great job, and I've never been afraid to praise them either. And, unlike the shallow lip service that comes from 95% of the people on here, the praise that I give means something, because I'm actually mentally capable of recognizing the difference between someone that does a good job and someone that just likes lording their authority over the 'common folk' in the most immature ways possible.
If you want to run your mouth at me, try getting your facts straight first. And try doing it in PM, and not in a thread like this where it has no place.
Ultimately, Jeebus got what he deserved. This is undeniable. But some people will still miss him, and if they want to express that in this thread, that is their right.
See, the funny part of the giant wall of text is that you don't interact with my accusation. You deny it, then start flaming me(sycophant, really?)
And you also use the opportunity to fluff yourself up and then take a dig at most of the staff. I don't know if you're in denial or something, but realize the "Cyan does nothing but troll the staff" accusation is actually based on something. And every time you do it in a thread, it makes that a perfectly valid topic of discussion.
I felt he was very rude to me more than a few times, but i am still sad to see someone with so much time here go. I did have some....interesting conversations with him. Still, I can definitely understand why.

Yes, it's not a good thing for a long time MTGS'er to go, but it was his fault, and he could be/was rude and inconsiderate much of the time. I have no hard feelings on seeing him go, as he knowingly broke the rules, and the mods did their job.

Oh i wasn't saying anything against Mensa Promatin , just showing how egotistical he was. and the fact is i'm tired of people using gay as a derogetory term, it's not ok and he wasn't listening to reason. If he could of just said, hey i may not agree with you, but i see your point that would have been ok.

I don't like people using gay as a derogatory term either, but I am getting tired at yelling at people for it. I have gotten in the faces of a lot of otherwise well-meaning people for it, most of them just don't realize what they're saying.
It used to be a sore spot for me, but I am starting to gloss over it, I guess. At least I never noticed it in Jeebus's posts until someone else pointed it out.

A (in?)famous member of the community has just been banned, let people talk about it, and work through it.
Its a salvation tradition to make a thread like this, to remember those that have left us.
Ok Galvatron is just a bad grammar deal period. Hes that bad elsewheres on magic.tcgplayer. So yeah hes a bad speller
Jeebus was cool but dont get me wrong dont evade the law or the law will get you

Lot of good it did him. He ended up working retail in his 50's.
I don't understand why the second link makes him a bad dude at all. It's very crude, but it's at least a decent review of M10...
It is nice when people are respectful and polite, but that's not what I am looking for from a set review.

Meh, the plot thickens...
So let me get this straight. He got suspended for something or another, then his presumed brother using the same IP posted on a different account.
BUT...
One mod here said (I think Binary) that Jeebus was posting on multiple other accounts, not just Scrappy.
