I will agree, her choice of games is a moot point and has no baring on the discussion. Playing games inappropriate for an age group is indication of irresponsible parenting not personality, per sey. America McGee's Alice isn' too bad in the scheme of things. It's gorey, but in the same way Mortal Kombat was gorey in my day, ridiculously, overly, nonsensically so- and we knew it.

I edited out awhole rant about GTA. Vintage Pro Gamer here. We do not talk about marketing based games with no actual challange unless we want a huge, vicious, scorching rant. We will leave it at that.

Back to the topic at hand. We are not, and as mentioned, SHOULD not be dicussing personal flaws, simply the facts behind the banning and the continiual banning.

Firstly, ignore the age. I can't tell you how many people lie about their age online for various reasons, either to get onto sites they're not allowed on, or, in saying you're younger, to get away with bad behaviour based on being "just a kid". Maybe she is nine, maybe she isn't, either way, this is a site with a base joining age of thirteen. Not a EAHF rule, a WIKIA rule.

"Just her personality" does not give someone carte blanche to do whatever the hell they want. Nor does "Just a troublemaker". You either learn from your mistakes and smack downs and site bans or you end up very poor, lonely and unemployed later on in life when you suddenly find "Just my personality! I'm a trouble maker" does not save you from getting fired. Yes, youth is where you make these mistakes. No, that doesn't make her a mean and awful person, it's just a part of the learning process, but it also doesn't allow her to come back after a ban.

"Doesn't know the rules" is not an excuse. The rules are easily accessed, and are always supposed to bre read before you start posting anywhere. Rules are like laws. The court will NOT accept "But I didn't know what I was doing was against the law!" nor will anything with the rules outlined accept "But I didn't know that was a rule". You think Deviant Art or Tumblr just shrugs things off if someone goes wailing to them "but I didn't read the rules!" No, they very very much don't. You are banned. For good.

To the admins, never fear bad rap from a bad rep. People have a lot less power online than you think. If you suspect this person will badmouth the blog, I can't see much to any harm done really. It might help her feel better about the whole situation. Ange can be a good vent like that, and you have enough power hitters when it comes to followers to make up for any damage she might do.

Blue-Ribbonz, I commend you for standing up for your friend. I agree with you about not getting personal and I'm really impressed that you stood up in the middle of a discussion that clearly would be united against anything your said and said it anyway. Know I have no feelings either way on the situation, and am just commenting on the comments given and facts. Your loyalty to your friends gives you merit.
