Well, here we are again, going full circle. The mod staff has more or less decided what to do, but since there was a little bit of a fiasco last time, we figured we would let the userbase voice their opinions.
Typically we do not take actions against users who do something outside of the Forums, but in this instance, there is no way we can just turn a 'blind eye' to some happenings. It is unfortunate, and we do not enjoy it, but some sort or order must be maintained here (funny, right?).
Anyway, his most recent actions in the 'alt.binaries.dreamcast' newsgroup cemented his fate as far as the mod staff is concerned, unless someone can come up with some SOLID proof that this is not really him. Lets look at the facts....
Here is the post in UseNet (500k JPG)

Which AMAZINGLY is a thread complaining about pirates written by the same one who posted. Notice that in his message he include the '.nfo' file for the KOF2k DC release.
Now, we see the ROM vs Cart arguement all of the time for Neo Geo games. That is fine. Now, if someone can come up with a good reason to pirate a $50 DC game that is less than a week old..... That is just reprehensible!
Anyway, our case is made. We, on the staff, believe he deserves a PERMANENT ban along with anyone offering his goods for sale. We can not sit and allow this behavior and do nothing, especially since this will be a permanent disturbance on the board (just ask my PM box which is full of complaints).
So, what do the members think? Are they now in agreement? Is his hypocritical actions in this instance beyond any additional chances? We say yes! Let us know your thoughts.
