i dont think he should be let back. Two hoaxes, and providing some false info.. But it would be interesting to vote on it. Just to see how many people want him back.

my vote is that he remains OUT !!!

He had 2 chances and he messed up again.

This is an OLD THREAD, SkepticOverlord is NOT
considering letting him back at this time!

This thread was started Feb-28-2004, some time after his first hoax he prepared an apology for the members of ATS. SO posted it and wanted feedback, asking if he should be allowed back, ultimately in February he was.

Now he was recently found perpetrating another hoax and has been banned again. Everyone thinks SO is considering letting him back because this OLD THREAD has been bumped back. I don’t think SO is going to let him back and the apology on the first page of this thread is from the first hoax not the most recent.

Does nobody read anymore?
C'mon people.
He's gone.
He won't be coming back.

Just let it go.

Now I see what you are saying Kinglizard. I certainly hope SO doesn't let him back.

Reminds me of that Neal Young song,

Once you're gone, you know you can't come back,
When you're outta the blue and into the black!


Perma Ban sounds appropriate

nevermind

And rock and roll will never die.

BTW Im sorry for bumping the thread, if you have a problem with it kinglizard then ask SO to edit the thread title.

As someone who was pretty involved in energy wave's latest hoax i feel i should weigh in here a little bit. I was not involved in his february issue. I personally do feel that often times people make mistakes and should be allowed a little slack... but this latest crap? No way. That would be the nail in the coffin on ANY message board of any sort. This member attempts to use this board as a tool for his own stupid use. In Feb it was to get some publicity from some other website, with this gaiacomm thing, who knows. Whatever his purpose was, it was not helpful to this site and indeed can be harmful. Some of you don't understand why it could be harmful so let me explain.

The purpose of this message board is to find the truth about various topics. Some topics are a bit more uh, unique than others, and some would be considered downright odd by most people. But the common element shared by all of them is that in all cases it ends up with a group of people saying what they feel, what they believe, and working to find out truth about some topic. When you have a member who on numerous occasions is intentionally misleading people to believe falsehoods, intentionally misleading people into doing something, or clicking something, or whatever, then that person is intentionally damaging the credibility of this site. That is unacceptable by anyone's standards. There are no questions to be asked. If you have any interest in this site being credible then you will understand why people who base their activities on trickery and deceit have no place here period. I was the one who found "gaia" posting on chinese and japanese message boards incoherently just like here. Those threads were wastes of time and effort for all involved. Why the hell should that happen here? I would think anyone who actually spends any time here would support that.

energy_wave is back.... Why???

Permanente Ban, Never to Return, Gone Forever.

Agreed. I don't think he should be allowed back either. 2 attempted hoaxes is a bit much. The last hoax I actually replied in asking what was up. It was a pretty lame attempt at best.

How can the site clame to Deny Ignorance while eating a hoax burger and a big ol' gressy super size bucket of stupid-fries? Doing something once can be seen as a mistake or bad judgement, but to do it twice shows character and that is something that is not going to change with a slap on the wrist.
