No you're not T. If you continue on the same path as now I have a feeling it will be fine in the end, though I can only speak for myself of course.

I'm not sure why they mistrust you so much Terence. All your times are PROVEN. At the end of the year someone will just say you might cheat again and then, as April said you will "stay off".

Pierre are you now active again?

Tom, when will you understand I agree all current Terrence times are proven ? That's not my problem about him...

Btw, when I'll fell like playing MKSC again (it can arrive earlier than expected, as I'm currently very close to 4th place ^^), indeed I'll be back. Smiley

You should focus on those games where the community are more forgiving. Mk64 for example.

Is there a difference to people if fenner whoards for the next year he's officially off the site? I mean as he isn't on this site he doesn't have to abide by our community rules of not whoarding.

If progress reports is a stipulation for his readmittance, one could easily argue it would certainly be a good one to fulfill in order to achieve what is granted by doing so.

I understand what you mean, and what type of control that is to be imposed from the community is debatable; I personally think this to be sufficiently decent of a proposal that is not very controlling overall. The ball is in Fenner's court. Whatever he plays, he reports for later documentation or required reproduction. It is very controlling in that he is more or less required to record everything he claims, but this has to some extent always been the case for his times, so I suspect Terrence is (hopefully) not in shock over it. (Certainly says something for what he has been willing to do without protesting one bit. This, I feel has not been satisfactorily acknowledged in this our current "solution".)  What bothers me about this recent decision is that fully proving the times wasn't enough when it was already in place and his timeset was well documented, to the very-near highest degree we could reasonably ask from a proof point of view.

I am also personally not confident a lot of people will change their minds about Terrence when the decisive moment arrives. We already know some people will not be able to accept his being on the site at all.
A change is much more difficult to introduce after such a long period of time (1 year), as people may be or come to be of the opinion that a sort of optimum has been reached, and that letting him back on would not constitute enough of an improvement. "It's so great now already, why should we bother with this now that we are happy and prosperous anyway." This I fear will cause some stagnation on the matter and have it wilt away into nothingness.

This is why I would prefer a list of fixed conditions applied throughout the year coupled with compliance and good behaviour (makes it sound like he's some kind of criminal.. ) for his return, as opposed to a revote one year from now.

Yes, that's what I wrote. How concisely I expressed it is another matter.

Terrence doesn't have to do anything. He could just leave, do nothing and take with him the chances of ever (re)appearing on the site. Since one of his conditions for being able to return is that of providing content reports to the site administration, and his compliance is not mandatory (however necessary to achieve the outcome of following the guidelines.) it is up to him to decide whether he wants to meet the requirements. But he cannot expect to be part of the site without cooperating in that regard.
This, I feel to be in order dealwise, given the argument for his being banned.

I have come to understand this particular point is not very negotiable, as a product of his cheating which is much of the basis for this entire matter.

You're referring to Guillaume Bertrand I suppose?
He never actually submitted cheated times to the SMK site, but you're right, he could be labeled shady and as far as I know has been caught cheating on other sites (I'd have to check the exact info on that, before jumping to conclusions though). If we can confirm his reputation as cheater is correct, he should indeed be removed from our ranks.

Site champions are a lot more influential in determining credibility of a site like this though (then say GB's #25 or whatever in SMK). You see, people don't want to ban/suspend Terrence because he is champion, but the 'campaigning' (if you may call it that) was a lot more fierce, because there is more at stake since he is. It's not hard to see that the reputation of the site is more damaged by a #1 that insulted our competition and standards, then by say Hakan Çetin doing the same. I believe Fried's post earlier underlined that correctly.

It doesn't change the validity of the argument, it changes it's urgency.

I'm not cheating on SMK. In fact, i did a few videos of me playing SMK from 2008-09:

2009 timescroll (after mc4) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeC0a9gphJ8
ci1 nonnbt opener - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4C7DIpH6LA
dp1 nbt plus timescroll - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OdV8JPJbCk
I even did some live vids
dp2 nonnbt - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iut6tCXvxOY

Say, what was this CS incident?

I never voted. But even if I wanted to, I'd be almost undecided. As much as I still don't like what he did in the past, he has made a very good effort to reform himself.

1) mario86
2) neo
3) Karel
4) Kartseven
5) Karterfreak
6) Etch (assumed by Karel)
7) Fried

that still leaves 5.

Still dont get it though.. how most of the people on that list agree that his times are proven, yet those aren't allowed to stay on the main site at all. Lets go to another page to get the wr's  Smiley

It's been said before: to be on the site, the players and community thrive on a bond of trust. If more than half the players here do not trust the world's best player, perhaps it is best that he remains off the site until he earns the trust back.

Moving Fenner's times off site allows us to be able to record his records and watch his activity, but at the same time recognize that the majority of players are still skeptical of his times.

Doing this action I think is quite reasonable, not something to post a  Smiley about. I'm glad players are rejoining the site again too.

his current time sheet is proven, so it should stand.

His times should be on the site under a different name, future times banned until faith in fenner is restored.

Anyway, i suppose we now wait for all of prs from the players who wouldn't submit while fenner was on the site.

I wouldn't do the fake name thing because it leads back to the same issue that got this situation to where it is now: even with a fake name, people would know it's you, fake name or not.

Anyway, those awards have been (or are going to be) reassigned to other people. I realize that if you rejoin, it wouldn't be fair to have stripped those awards from you in the first place, but with them reassigned to other people, it wouldn't be fair to take the awards from them either, so you would start with a blank slate as you did last time you joined.

Wait, we keep him on the past champion page, acknowledging the fact that he was first on the site during that period, yet we get rid of his awards? That's not coherent.
