What.cd and Waffles.fm

I was referring to the welcome he got from FST members, I think he was called a genius by one and others were so nice to him he started one of his posts by saying something like 'thanks for the nice words'. I really wasn't expecting that sort of reaction to him.

I think it's similar to the mentality attached to traders.

Traders are breaking tracker rules, just like cheaters. Does that mean traders should be outcasted from every single thread on FST simply because they have broken tracker protocol?

Like it or not, cheating is an aspect of BT, just like trading is. Whereas they are discussions up to debate on the topic of trading, there are topics that can be discussed about cheating as well. Just because cheating is frowned upon, does that mean it shouldn't be discussed? Should the topic of criminal justice not be discussed because crimes are frowned upon?

It never hurts to have a primary account from the people themselves. You simply can't have a complete picture or an unbiased conversation on trading if the only people who are allowed to reply are non-traders. What kind of a lopsided debate would that be? anon-sbi provides an another unique perspective that can easily contribute to a discussion - whether you approve of it or not.

As others have said, I haven't seen anything negative from anon, and he has proven to be a very active and helpful member here. Like idol mentioned, he has managed to contribute quite a bit here, and unless he purposely prances about promoting cheating in order to flame threads and cause chaos, I don't see any reason not to treat him as simply any other member on this board. I may not condone his tracker activity, but that's irrelevant - they're related to the trackers he is on and their respective staff - not with this board.
 
Like I said as long as anon-sbi respects the rules here and doesn't bring up his other associations or unless asked directly about it condone cheating then I believe his contributions outweigh the negative of his mere presence here.
Besides although it may make you and others feel better what possible effect does me banning him here have?
If a future ban is necessary though at least I have been provided with the perfect line -"I will see you anon"
 
Yes, you could say so, although I'm on my third What.cd account right now. I lost the first one to a stupid mistake and the second one to thinking their scripts were the same as one year ago. Time passes...

I have a better one - "right on anon" :lol:

I am really uncomfortable being part of a community where someone with your views has been so openly accepted and so have decided that I will no longer visit this site

This is why FST is awesome, everyone can post their own opinion, and people like him can leave :thumbsup:
 
Find somewhere in my posts where I say that the subject of cheating shouldn't be discussed or that cheaters shouldn't take part in those discussions. It is the admiration for this guy that I find strange.
 
And saying that anyone affiliated with that type of behavior should be greeted with hostility isn't?

He's been posting productively and hasn't caused any trouble. I don't see any reason he wouldn't be greeted with "open arms". I don't judge him for it, this is a forum, not a tracker.
