yeah, he kinda overreacted there, thats right...but thats not a big thing, at least not enough to take away his status...
duping is illegal, whether it is a jynx, a mew or a caterpie...
@jord: first of all u couldnt trade me ur mew now anyways since its blocked, second i dont need it anymore and i just wanted u to be on the team rocket list since i wasnt the only one complaining; its a matter-of-fact that u screwed me ^^

This is ridiculous. First of all double posting IS against the forum rules. Now, just because a moderator made a mistake doesn't mean they should be de-modded. We all make mistakes, he could simply life the ban off the person and only have the ban Jonaton gave him and apologize to the user and the conflict would be resolved. Where has Budget insulted someone anyways other then when that onix guy was here? And no, they won't give you a lifetime ban for questioning their staff power, but it isn't exactly the nicest thing to do. They try their best to help the forum, although sometimes this helps nudge them to do better. Ethier way duplicating is against the forum rules because it's using a glitch to enhance gameplay and get off of other players. If they just used duplicating and don't trade off the pokemon they duplicated or the original pokemon that wouldn't be as bad.
(Also why is this in trading? Wouldn't it be more appropriate in forum rants?)

Oh, thank you very much. Its much better now. --- Well, first, doubleposting IS against the rules. It isnt when you really need to post again. But doing it all the time and filling the threads is incorrect. second, "and then today he gave an all-time ban to someone for simply saying that he had TRIED to duplicate 1 pokemon and it didn't work (another moderator said he should only be banned for 3 days)." SIMPLY said that he cheated? SIMPLY? Cheating isnt something like, Meh, he's just cheating. Leave it like that. What zard4life said: "note i have changed my mind about the jynx offer cos it is too valuable and the duplicate glitch duznt work for some reason" It doesnt matter if he tried or if he did. Thats almost the same thing. If he tried duplicating, he cheated. (Also why is this in trading? Wouldn't it be more appropriate in forum rants?) Uhh yeah. Theres this too. In my opinion this thread should be locked now because everything on it is wrong.

I'm just saying if duping once is enough for a lifetime ban then insulting once is enough to remove his moderator status... "Rules are rules"

Remember, mods are humans, they make mistakes. .-. They just need a stern talking to from their peers when they do make mistakes like this. It's not like they caused a huge forum wide flame war.

Whaat? Who lifetime banned someone who double posted once? Where that happened? Btw, you're using a very bad way of thinking there, saying "I'm just saying if duping once is enough for a lifetime ban then insulting once is enough to remove his moderator status...". Its almost like saying "budget cut his finger with paper so you should knife budget's head off."

Like everyone is saying, if you break the rules then you should get punished. And I put this in trading cause I know that's what most people read, if a mod wants to move it, be my guest.

Another big mistake, putting threads on wrong places for it to be popular.

KindSoul類魂 - I meant "duping" as in duplicating pokemon, not double posting

Alright, I see. I never said they shouldn't be punished though, but a full off depromoting them would be too much right now. If he continues to do this I wouldn't mind budget getting depromoted. But Budget has also done a lot of good things, like help organize the forum and make the FAQ section. And who knows what they do in the staff forum? They might be doing really well in decisions or something, idk.
(Also just another thing I noticed, budget, you might want to not emphasize the "Locked" part when you lock a thread, that gets kind of annoying but that's just me I think.)

Wow everyone talks fast. Sorry Sir Wobbuffet, its just so much fun ;D Anyway if anyone is wondering, i am a mod to help people with pokemon troubles not anything else. But while other mods are not online i try to help everyone even though others would fit the job better. Sorry if i insult people and full-time ban people when the punishment deserves a 3-day ban (even though the guy only had two posts and would probably forget about the forum in 3 days) but well i am all you got at the moment

@jord: everythings fine now ;D @topic: then lets say budget is warned now and shouldnt make any other mistakes, but depromoting him would be WAY overexaggerated for such a little thing - he had to do something to get his status as well and helped people too
