My post above wasn't to get him back in, I was brining attention to a flaw in the new system, it isn't worded accordingly. It makes it seem like rookies have an "immunity" somewhat during their 1 month waiting period...
and I was never warned for my sig, my sig mentions nothing about ricardo taking over, and since the forums allow me to have a signature of my choice (besides porn) I have no intentions of changing it nor is there any reason for me to change it besides the fact that some people just "want" it to be changed.
You could look at it as a flaw, but the system was basically designed to make everyone happy while making it "easier" to get into *MAFIA*. We had to change it back to 2 referrals to get new members, because nobody was referring anyone and *MAFIA* was almost impossible to join. But then after setting it to just 2 and they're in, we decided to make it 2 referrals and they're a Rookie, because people were complaining that we were "lowering standards." I think our standards are being a small group of friends who play video games (and respect one another).
With the new system, the entire clan will get to decide on new member additions, not just 2 people or however we set the # of referrers to be. During the month of waiting, they are
not under immunity. Basically, this time is given to all those who say "who is this person?" - its for the *MAFIA* members who've never heard of them to look for the Rookie's posts, talk to them on ventrilo, or play with them in the server. If we decide they are not *MAFIA* material then they will simply be voted out.
Milky Way's case was different. We weren't going to wait until his month was up and vote him in or out. He's been in for quite a while, he knows the ways things work. Bonehead saw the whole posting of his "love" thread and the Ricardo taking over thing as a game, so in order to play back he set Milky Way to Rookie and reset his rep/post...in other words having him start all over. Clifford didn't take the hint and continued his disrespect of not stopping what he was asked to stop, so next he lost his posting rights. The day of being re-instated to a *MAFIA* Member he does it again, so at that time the Head decided it was time to remove him. Rookie/Member/Manager/Admin/Head, it didn't matter, he wasn't going to stop and so now he's gone.
As far as Phantom's signature goes, I personally don't have a problem with it. The only thing I'd ask (not tell) is that the font be made a little smaller. He's had that on there for a while now and I don't think its caused any problems. I've spoken with him in PM and I think he's agreed to stop the Ricardo posts, so I think we can agree to let him have the sig - just my opinion. All this stuff will boil over in no time, and its started to fade away now already. This thread was started by Milky Way and is titled "Updates," I guess referring to him updating us since he lost posting rights for a week. I don't think its relevant anymore so look for it to be closed shortly. I'm not directed this reply to just Phantom, its to the general population of whoever reads it.
