RED_NOVA'S PROFILE

You should never lose the "right" to be treated fairly. What's the name of this game? "An eye for an eye"? You should probably know how that phrase usually follows... Also, not being able to play a game is not a "punishment". I'm kind of baffled at that notion.

Imagine this scenario for a second: Some guy has a good, completed horror game here on RMN, but got banned and his game page taken down. Fast forward a couple of months later, a user who had no idea what happened was browsing through RMN looking for a horror game to play. He would never be able to find it because the game page got taken down. But the game was still in development somewhere else. But because he missed his chance here, he might never be able to play it.

It's that random user that I'm claiming we're punishing by forcing the game page to be removed. It's not fair at all.

I mean. we say we're coming to a new understanding of things. We're talking about giving people proper accreditation, about asking them for their permission before doing anything - Ah! But if you're a dick we're entitled to your stuff by default... Yeah. :|

That is a terrible comparison to make. There is a HUGE difference between taking something without crediting it and leaving something you willingly posted here after you got banned.

...I understand if the site doesn't currently work this way. But we should really think about this and work towards a better solution in the future. Let me reiterate that I really dislike that e-mail option. I'm sorry for the analogy, but that's like holding a game page hostage and demanding a ransom to have it released.

And it's my opinion that no one should have to bend over backwards for someone who got banned. I'm pretty sure most of us have seen how many warnings are given before an actual ban occurs. By the time someone is banned, it's pretty clear they have no intention of acting appropriately. So there's no point in trying to make any extra effort to make them feel like they've been treated fairly. It's not an eye for an eye so much as it is spoiling a child.

If you got banned, but are too lazy to send one e-mail, you don't get to cry foul. There is nothing unfair about that.

I think you lose the right to be treated "fairly" the moment you break major forum rules and get banned. If someone REALLY wants their game page taken down, they would be willing to take the extra effort to e-mail Kentona asking for it to be removed.

But just because the developer got banned, the rest of us shouldn't be punished by not being able to play the game.

Perhaps there should be a new status added to a game page called Banned to let us know if the developer has been banned or not. That way, we could avoid subscribing to something that obviously won't be worked on at the site. Then again, that could only work for single developer games.


But Kentona is right. This whole mess can be avoided as long as you don't get banned.

I've been seeing Red_Nova's name pop up a few times on this blog. Whoever this guy is must be REALLY cool. Either that or a total stalker. I don't know.

Anyways, keep up the good work! I'll just say that this new demo is gonna be awesome!

Have Iron Maiden play as background music.

Just kidding. Actually, have puzzles involving magnetic force. Like a block puzzle where you push blocks to different switches while avoiding magnetic zones, or the block will get pushed/pulled away from where you're trying to send it. You would have to turn on and off certain magnets to be able to push a block through a hallway.

Or copy use FFIV as an example and have a magnetic cave where metal weapons are useless until a certain point in the dungeon.

Yeah, there are 3 Candy behind the church, as well as Candy you can buy from the merchant in Orias if you find the stash of money in Arya's locker below her bed.
