Please, if you are going to cast a vote, give your reasoning on why you are voting as you are, and not just some opinion, like "I H8 LIGTHBLBLES! BANNNHAMMARHF" It really helps the voting process to have an educated reason why you want him to stay or leave.

Edit: Thank you very much Klngjohn, for your post earlier... you actually look at both sides of the issue like a number of other people, and have given a reasonable response. what you actually voted for, I really couldn't care less. But for argument's sake, your opinion as value, and worth, and totally deserve what you chose.

I Agree. Its Not Like This Is Real Life. Who Gives A Flip About Games? Wait, I Already Know The Answer: Minecraft Addicts.

And Yes, Light Is 'Hilariously Awesome'.

Okay I am going to post this to maybe sway the vote a bit and give good reasoning into why he should be banned. Note that I made this before the Civil Cases were no longer valid so the justices are addressed at times.

Prosecution: Catsfuzz / To get Lightbulbs rebanned

Defendant: Lightbulbs

The Brief:

Event: Intelli unbanned Lightulbs for the 2nd time.

Issue: Should stealing, lavaing, spawn killing, and using exploits result in a perma-ban?

------------------------------------
Case: Just recently Intell, the grand admin of this server, unbanned a long time foe. He has admitted to at least 20 (if not more) thefts, he has lava'd at spawn. He has spawn killed and used exploits to place lava at spawn. Upon recent questioning Intelli gave us no direct answer to why he was unbanned and why he shouldn't be banned. That is why we are here today.

First off, we all know that if anyone, anyone, else did this (with the exception of Intelli) they would be banned and forgotten about in a heartbeat. Please don't contradict that for, we all know that its true. This is his second ban/unbanning and I feel we are all getting tired of the constant arguing.

Now for the meat and potatoes. Most people have been wondering, "Well, Lights has stolen, lava'd, spawn killed, hey, hey even exploited. I guess I can too! I mean, I will surely get unbanned!" Is this the attitude we want in our players?

If we let this go through well, we may as well unban all the thieves and other banned people who have been banned for about the exact same reason.

Justices, it is your job to keep this fair world safe from people like this. As the admin, panthers17nfl has said, [quote“panthers17nfl”] Stealing of goods in chests is always a rule infraction. The old way of saying it was “Stealing is illegal only if you get caught”, but that is the way it is with everything then, isn’t it? Anyways, stealing from chests is always against the rules.[/quote]

Lightbulbs has said many times on the forums that he has stolen from chests/realms. Like panthers said,
“This is always against the rules”.

Justices and Intelli, I do not think that this is fair to the players of Minerealm. If he has done the crime, he deserves the ban.

Players such as monkeytoad and snit have been banned for similar reasons but haven’t been able to return. Is that really fair, at all? I understand that snit has griefed but he has apologized for it, didn’t Lightbulbs say he was sorry for doing what he did? How exactly is that fair.
Justices of the court, I will let you decide, but I hope that this has showed you how the return of Lightbubls is unfair.

Note: This is was posted just for a good reasoning as to why he should be banned. Aside for some spelling errors I feel it is fairly good. I will remove this if a mod or admin wishes me to.

Edited to fix spelling issues. 5:54 EST.

Sounds like a plan, be a major bug finder, get 11 people banned for griefing, and stop AvO from coming to the server, and you get to come back.
All those people that can claim those things are now free to come back.
That doesn't matter. No matter how much you do, that should not mean that you are above the law. Without punishments, there are no rules. Without rules, there is chaos.

Banns are for ppl who randomly select a realm and find pleasure in griefing, or imagining what peoples reactions are to there actions.
Banning is not for an established player/friend who likes to be a class clown or w/e.

If this guy was doing something to constantly interrupt other peoples game play experiences I can understand a ban, but if he is just making the community tighter by giving it personality then I would hate to not be able to experience the server without him, Besides if you wanna play a game were everything is perfect, play solo offline.

just my 2¢
As you haven't been here long, I can understand your thinking. But if you didn't know the stats:
he has caught and banned 11 people.
he has stolen from 21 realms.
he has harassed for as long as I can remember.
recently he illegally used an exploit to kill people in spawn with lava.

Yes, he has done a lot of good, but that shouldn't mean he is above the law. Personally, I think his second ban should have been permanent, as usual, but at least a couple months with no minerealm would suffice.
