I messaged {uZa}LoneStranger via email and PM to see if he can help us to lift this permanent ban. If he is able to help with the issues we are having with Nick, then we will remove the permanent ban. If not, then it should stay. We have tried for a very long time to deal with this issue; talks, kicks, temp bans, etc... But we have not made any improvements to the situation. He is just a kid and like mine and everyone else's, sometimes we have to show tough love. I don't think for Nick to be ignored or to be allowed to continue with bad behavior is truly a "positive" experience for him or anyone else. What will be positive is when he gets the message and changes and is able to come back. I really hope that happens, but at this point it will take some input from {uZa}LoneStranger. Nick hasn't done anything that would make us never want him back, just that he needs to follow direction from members better than he has. I hope that happens, I never take banning lightly unless it is something truly horrible then I am okay. It is even harder to do to a child of a member that we all like so much. So if you read this Nick, please know that we do love you and we don't like that we have had to take this corrective action as well as the others that led us to this point.
