It seems that Zjones is becoming more and more someone who insn’t much welcome anymore on our server.
Complaints about him by both members and guests.
The question we have to ask ourselfs:
"do we wait some time longer or do we take the discision to Ban him at this moment".
Keep in mind that Zjones is quiet likely the same player we formerly knew as &=.
A player that's for almost two years on our KOS list by now.
So, how about a permanent ban for Zjones?
The YES votes will need an explanation to count !
Voted Yes
This idea that he may be =& has been the mutual clan stance since he started coming around. Based on that - it put me at 50%.
Having read the posts concerning Zjones in the past several months - up to the most recent put me over at 51%.
51+50 = 101% YES
I voted NO.
I suspected, like others, that zjones was &= but there are no proof about that...
On the other hand, I like zjones, he is polite and well educated with me, and I consider him a friend of mine. I never had a problem with him, and I had never seen him breaking rules despite what others administrators say.
I believe he is not a worst guest comparing him with people like GUT, bite me, and others clowns
I 'm believing also this ban police need some moderation. I'm feeling we are acting like a band applying the Lynch law, and not like a democratic group.
I've been voting against the ban for 30 days (as useless) and I approve the immediate ban of guys who suddenly appear in the server or come a few times to ruin our fun, but with frequent guests we should be more tolerant.
In democracy people talk and discuss the points with restraint and respect and rarely vote, only to choose who directs and applies rules.
For example why this votation was put in...? Who decided y why?
I do not approve or agree with this way of making all decisions as hasty vote.
We are becoming intolerant, and very arrogant as a clan.
That is a bad policy.
Voted NO!
I have to agree with R_Mad that although there are suspections, there is no proof he realy is &=
I have had no problems with Zjones personaly, so its only fair to look at my own experiences with him.
I dont think that this ban policy needs yet another moderation. It Works just fine in my opinion.
It doesn’t feel like a lynch law to me. Its done in a democratic way. There are several choices that can be made. You may or may not agree with the outcome, but in a democracy the majority still decides.
Yes the 30Days ban was quite useless. I do disagree that we should be more tolerant to the frequent guests. In my opinion they should know the rules better as regular guests. They will also find the way to the forum, in order to appeal, a lot quicker.
This vote was put in because there was a call for it within the clan.
Even if I do not agree with the poll in question I will put up a vote thread when the clan seems to need a decision about something. I think we would be arrogant and intollerant if we didnt listen to the feelings of our own clanmates. You can concider it bad politics but it is still democracy.
His English is better than =&
Voted yes but I'm sure the majority will bitch out like normal and let him slide
I know damn well its =&. Not to mention all the shit he has pulled under the zjones name
But by all means if you people want us looking like a bunch of weak ass bitches who can't even take care of the problems on our own server go ahead. 🙄
BTW Bison zjones had the same bad English/grammar as =& for the longest time but has gotten better with years of interaction while being accused of breaking rules on the server...
NUKER Here,
I VOTE HELL YES. I saw him in action & now he's trying to lie his way out of it. If he doesn't get banned then a coordinated effort needs to be made to spectate him when he doesn't know it to see if the TKK guys are right or not.
NUKER

I do not speak respect of expiring or breaking rules. I'm talking about to be tolerant and respectful with a person who share his time playing with us every day. We can talk with that person. For example a good PM can help and solve a problem.
Is a big problem for you to write a PM and to talk with zjones? I can do that in spanish if you ask me, such as the clan ask me the same thing with the whole Geof Clan in the past
This vote was put in because there was a call for it within the clan.
Where is that call? I never read it...
decisions must be taken in the forum, not in TS
I think we would be arrogant and intollerant if we didnt listen to the feelings of our own clanmates. You can concider it bad politics but it is still democracy.
For me is very difficult to express my ideas in english but I will try using the translators. I hope to express the exact ideas...
First, the democracy is not a succession of votings...
Usually in democracy it is voted a few times, mainly to choose those who govern us. And we delegate in them authority to take decisions.
It is the accepted leadership (the voted leader) the one that applies the law, not the rabble.
It was not a democracy when the assistants for the Roman circus were voting for the life or death of any person (and they decided for majority...)
In a community I can accept the decisions of a leader, so though sometimes it could be wrong, but I trust in his good judgment...
But I do not trust in the decisions of a mass that does not contribute wise opinions but it expresses his ideas with obnoxiousness and bad words.
And yes, we are becoming arrogant...
I do not say it, but our guests say it. Listen them.
Voted NO.
I didn't have biggest problems with zjones.
Frankly speaking, I am surprised with need to vote on his ban.
Yes , him and i have butted heads for along time that is no secret, i am sure he is =& as he talks the same trash to me as =&,
I have absolutely no respect for him and would love to see him kickin rocks.
I have had no problems with Zjones personally..... but I keep a pretty low profile in all the maps, so we don't cross paths very often.
I'm undecided at this point 🙁

Wheather he's =& or not, is not important, his sneaky play style and rule breaking should be the main focus here.

I have spoken with Zjones on TS, and yes he seems like a nice guy, but his playing on the server drives many away.
I believe he is not a worst guest comparing him with people like GUT, bite me, and others clowns
GUt is playing by the rules since his Ban was lifted, He is also in TS often and is also a nice guy.

Many wish not to be involved.

We have been very tolerant with Zjones, I get constant complaints from players to watch him.
In democracy people talk and discuss the points with restraint and respect and rarely vote, only to choose who directs and applies rules.
I think we have done that here.
For example why this votation was put in...? Who decided y why?
Due to dozens of complaints this has been done.
I do not approve or agree with this way of making all decisions as hasty vote.
We are becoming intolerant, and very arrogant as a clan.
That is a bad policy.
If we don't rid the server of rule breakers we might as well drop all our rules. I voted Yes
Yup - What Grubb Said.
