Pheace: I'm sure it is. I'm not a bigger man. I'm a skeptic, and I'm saying that my general experience on forums over the last decade shows that about 9 times out of 10 people aren't actually sincere with apologies and similar statements (often used to simply get attention). Therefor I agree with Tarun, I wouldn't take someone's word for it. I'd let time tell.
I never said you shouldn't be skeptical, just that people shouldn't keep berating him for it after the fact(It just makes things worse for both sides, imo.)....that includes those who enter such "apology" threads just to leave snide comments(Not talking about you/others, just speaking in general here.) or downrate everything in sight that the user posted.

While not everyone has done that(Most of the comments thus far have been civil and mostly positive, which also makes me proud to be a part of this community.), some have. I think it's those kind of people OP was upset at/with.

GameRager: Everyone makes mistakes.....it takes a big man to admit them, and an even bigger man to forgive those who make them & move on.

(I agree that those who transgress(online and off) should be punished appropriately, but not in unfair ways or for longer than is truly necessary.)
Yes everyone makes mistakes and people here are more than willing to forgive and forget.. even though his apology is appreciated I wouldn't go gaga over it with showering +1's and let his actions speak for him.. like Pheace said words are just words..

vexxum: First off, thank you everyone for forgiving me. :)

And to make it clear, I never hacked or spammed or scammed, I mis-worded that. Oops.

I meant, I will NEVER hack, spam, or scam. Ever. :) *edits original post*
Now why in the world is this low rated?

Anyway, thanks for owning up. Welcome. Hope you enjoy your stay.

I actually just replied to this.......as I said people shouldn't shower him with +1s just because he apologized, but no one should keep low rating him either(Unless he posts something that's actually rude/offensive/wrong/etc.).

Because people are dicks in general. If people stopped being dicks, universe would implode. And we don't want that to happen, do we?

Because some here like to low rate out of revenge towards those they don't like, i'm guessing. They're nothing but cowards.....at least when most here downrate someone it's because they deserve it.

Gamerager knows a lot about downrepping grief since lots of his posts were downrepped with no apparent reason. That was very uncool.
Concerning this child, he's probably low rated because of recent scammer and his blatant statement that he needs rep just to get free games. Fuck, I'd downrep him for that right now but I'm too lazy to find all his posts XD

I agree this thread does not deserve any +1's or -1's

Edit: I guess some people down rep'd his posts to bring his rep back to his initial state.. as he tried to earn false rep by answering his own questions

Because he tried to cheat to get a high rep. And was caught. repeatedly. Now is is trying to get rep by suckering up to people.

His obvious that he only wants rep so he can get free games. So yeah, I really don't care about him and he will be gone soon anyway.

This doesn't mean people should keep bearing grudges or that it's fair. It also has no place on what is supposed to be a fair and mature community.
---------------------
Can you prove it? If not then please stop stating it as fact.
------------------------
Maybe, maybe not. Unless someone can convince me that he's still doing it(trying to scam people and/or get free games) I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt(for now anyways).

Dude, you're being a jerk.

Oops. That wasn't my intention. Once his newest ploy doesn't work, he will probably just do a new account and try to blend in.

No probs. I've seen actual threats on this forum (one aimed at me from a regular user here) but i know you are on the right side of the law.
