My opinion: One final chance. Blow it; your done.
He's been banned for obvious reasons and a few major ones were the negativity he was bringing to the forum, putting others down, insulting staff after they removed reputation gained from unfair means, and such.
This is a public vote to see the views of the entire community. It does NOT necessarily mean he will be back based on the forums opinion.
As a request, I told Danny to write a 5-6 paragraph essay to apologize to staff and the community of clraik for his actions.
This is what he sent us:
Please vote honestly.I would like to apologize to the Joe, the rest of the staff, and the entire site for how I've been acting lately.
I honestly don't blame anyone for the decision to ban me, I deserved it.
I complained about the rep deduction which I should have accepted maturely, was an ass to the staff, and was rude to other members of the forum.
First, I'd like to start off by apologizing for my behavior regarding the rep deduction. I knew there was meanings behind the rep that seemed pointless, so that caused me to snap.
I realize I was wrong for trying to argue and that the rep wouldn't have been removed without good reason.
There was no reason I should have acted how I did, I was out of line.
Next time I get rep removed, if I do, I'll ignore it or politely ask a staff member why it was removed.
Secondly, I'd like to say sorry to the staff members, especially JLk.
You guys were just doing your job and it was none of your faults.
I sincerely apologize for lashing out at you for no reason. JLK, you're a good mod, probably one of the best I've seen anywhere. In no way did you deserve how I treated you. I actually appreciate you guys looking after the rep issues, so thank you.
Lastly, I extend my sincere apologies to the other members of the forum I was rude to, specifically Emily.
She's young and was just trying to help out other members.
I'm ashamed of how I acted towards her, she as well didn't deserve it.
No members deserve to be treated how I have been treating others.
This won't happen again.
Once again, I'm very sorry how I acted about my rep, towards Joe, the staff, and everyone else on the forum. I was stressed, and this pushed me that last mile and caused me to crack. I know I don't deserve to be unbanned, and I don't blame anyone but myself if I'm not, but I'm asking for one more chance to show you I can be the member you want to see. Thank you for reading.

My input is that he was never rude to me, and I have not personally seen him being rude, so maybe I should not speak upon this but here is my opinion. I think he should be let back in. If anyone has a disagreement with what I have said feel free to pm me. Mainly because I didn't see him being rude others will think that my opinion does not matter, so if it is that way, it is. I will not complain.
I'd give him another chance.
I don't think he's lying, he was wrong and he know it, but he was also a good member, helping, hosting giveaways, chatting, etc.
^_^
Grats on 1,000 posts Joe!
On topic, I'd give him a second chance
Hmm, I don't know if I'll vote. While I mean no offense to Danny, he was being a jerk to many people; not necessarily me, but there were some times where I wanted to post and tell him to "knock it the fuck off", especially on Emily's pin guessing thread. Also, he was being an ass towards my man JLK, which pissed me off a lot. He's been nice to me though, +repping me a few times and helping me improve my programs with ideas and bug fixes, so that's a plus. He's also been a good part of the community for the most part, making a bunch of guides and being a decent trader (though I'm not sure if that adds too much to the actual forum ). I'm torn.
There's my story, so I'm 50/50. Again, no offense to Danny.
I believe a second chance is the way to go, not only because Danny is my friend. He snapped yes, and I didn't see the dispute he made, but he is an asset to the site. What he said to Emily on her guide was wrong too, I used it and cracked 8 pins in a row. But he did this, from what I can see, once, and he is still a good person. I know a couple good things won't erase the bad, but at the same time, one bad thing won't erase the good.
I voted yes.
My take on it was...he should have to wait a little bit.
As soon as he was banned, he started bugging staff to unban him...idk if it has ever stopped?
You can't just get banned, and right away expect it to be reversed.
There was a reason for the ban, and a little time to think about it and not do that again is always good. A cool down period if you will.
My vote is an obvious no. LOL JK. Unban danny!!!
