Apparantly things have to be done by the book here so I'm making a new thread to vote for Harry so as not to make everyone go "ASIHDPIOU*RYWHFIUGBHKAShFD". :norris:

Yes.

Also, stop acting like a retard.

Yes.

Also, please proceed to act retarded.

^Joke

See how much better that was

I will act however I feel like at the time, lol
Hey Bebe <3

Sounds like RM is sharing some of his stash to me! :p lololololol

Plzz gimme some st00f.
After 200 'should harry be banned' threads, an ssrl thread now, lulz.
yes

First banned, now getting SSRL?
Fuck it, just make him an Admin.

I heard Obama smoked a joint when he was 16, I think he should never be able to become a president.

On topic, I'm a bit indifferent. Perhaps I'll have a more clear vote later.

That was my thought at first too. Although, I also second guessed that with the fact that he has been rather constructive and mature this time around.

However, the fact that I need to end that last statement with "this time around" says something as well. I could probably go back and forth on this for a while honestly…


I'm not going to vote for now.

Edit: How long ago was the last time he was banned? It doesn't seem like it was all that long.

What exactly did Harry do to get banned? I'm pretty sure if was before I came because I have no recollection of it..

General Irritation of everyone if I remember right. Spammed the boards, mass highlights on IRC etc.

I see. Well I'd say he's matured a lot since them.

Yes.

And why was he unbanned?

Onn the fence for reasons stated.


He has matured, but not enough for me quite yet.

I agree that he still has work to do to earn my vote.

No.

I haven't been around here recently enough to see truly what he's like now, so for that reason I won't vote.

However, if I was to base a vote off of what I've seen of Harry, I would say no, and say it quite aggressively. In previous years, he's been a disgrace to the community. Okay, his fight cave runner made him popular with the lower ranks, but I seem to remember the higher ranks being indefinitely irritated by him.

In addition, I don't think allowing someone SSRL with a past like that gives off a great image really. But then again, this is similar to allowing users back into members after a perm ban, and I know many users think that it's fair to do so (probably justly, I'm just a bit harsh and unforgiving). Oh, and he has done many things that should forbid him from members, let alone SSRL.

But yeah, staying neutral…

From: Nava2
Get rid of him, even his avatar is racist. Like common, I know he is stuck at members, but he is such a pain in the sides of so many people, is it really worth while to have him here?

Does he REALLY contribute? Or does he consistently find himself on the wrong side of arguments.

Curious about the bolded part. Was he "sentenced" to remain at SRL-Members rank without ability to progress through the ranks?

I think that he should really have to prove himself to be granted access to SSRL. If SSRL is to be a group of individuals who are looked up to and supposed to set the example for others, I don't know as 'recruiting' someone with such an unstable past is the best decision.

I personally have nothing against harry what so ever. In fact, I've thought that recently he has done quite well here at the forums, but with a past as notorious as his I don't think anyone should jump to conclusions.

I've personally only really noticed his mature actions in the recently past months, it may have began earlier than that though. If he remains to be as constructive and mature on the forums as he is being, than I say yes. It just seems to me that not so long ago at all, he was causing problems, yet again. (could very well just be me though.)

Harry has proven himself more than anyone. Yeh he was sentenced a while ago lol

I don't trust the guy.

From: The Claw

Seems like a bit of an exaggeration.

From: The Claw

Couldn't think of a better word :p

I'd agree that him "proving himself more than anyone" is an exaggeration.

I still voted yes for him because I think his recent attitude this past half year or so is quite befitting for SSRL expectations and his contributions in the scripting and community aspects.

Though like many of you I wouldn't be surprised if something goes horribly wrong…

I agree with IceFire908 (And EvilChicken!), but I'll hold my vote

I just want to say that he really has changed a lot.

Example from today:

21:10:26 -!- Irssi: Starting query in Rizon with Harri
21:10:26 <Harri> yo
21:10:36 <Harri> can you add user checking on /manage/script/ on stats
21:10:38 <Harri> when you get time
21:10:41 <Harri> user validation*
21:10:52 <Harri> as in, any user can go to http://stats.villavu.com/manage/script/21 (or any
script they don't own) and add vars
21:11:05 <Harri> which is rilie bad :3
21:37:27 <Wizzup> eh, really?
21:37:27 -!- Harri is away: Away.
21:37:39 <Wizzup> lol, will check in a bit
21:37:39 <Wizzup> sec.
22:56:44 <Wizzup> Will check after I finish my thesis proposal

And there's a lot more like this. To be honest I quite trust him these days.

He's a good guy, trust me. Ive been watching him a long time

Yeah he seems to be a guy I talk a lot with on IRC. Doesn't seem anything like some people are describing. He's been very helpful from my experience.

I'm not sure that I will ever really put his old silliness behind me completely, but is really that big of a deal if the only reason is that you dont trust him because of his past behavior? If that's the case, let him in and if he gets wily, you either demote him again or give him the boot.

Saying no because of his current attitude is alright, but the past is that past and its always undoable.

I distinctly remember Harry doing something which led to a thread being made that he will never be promoted above SRL member (using a stolen script to apply for members or something). However, this was 4 years ago, I vote yes.

I think Harry was the one who wiped cycrosism's computer by telling him to run an encrypted python script which sudo rm'd him?

Well, that was a fifty-fifty split of guilt on each cycrosism and Harry's side.
Sure, it was an idiotic script kiddie moment of him, but it was also idiotic of cycrosism to actually run the line.
And, this was a really long time ago.


@rest of people who voted yes despite remembering his asshole-side: thank you for showing that people possess the ability to forgive and forget.

He's really changed in the last year. I and many others that troll IRC know how much he's changed (as Wizzup quoted one). It shows on the forums as well.

Yes from me.

I do understand that he's changed, and i voted yes because in this setting, i think i agree if i don't look to hard at some of his past posts. But I'm sure a lot of people in prison feel really bad about it after and change their behavior, but they aren't let out until their time is up. Just some food for thought because i can see both sides to the argument of letting him in.

Forgive, but not forget ;) Friends close but enemies closer. Until you don't need to worry about them anymore.

It was actually bobng that had cycro run the sudo rm -rf / command, if I'm not mistaken.

Yup you're right. So no one even remembers what Harry did? lol

No, that was Bobng.

Congratulations on somehow missing 2 posts, bro. :) You really seem to want to make me wrong these days Wizzup lol.

No, I was in a hurry.

You know, after reading this thread and doing some more checking of his posts and apparent attitude, I think I would like to change my vote to yes. I mean, if he does abuse something he can always be demoted again.

Interesting read…neutral…..

Didn't he gain access to SSRL with a password db several months back?

I believe that was ian. Not 100% on that, though.

Pretty sure it was Da 0wner, then he told ian. about it. I'm almost positive ian. was the one who sold Sudoku.

And they're both back. and Ian's a member? This is how we reward them for stealing SRL's most prized possession?

Hack into the FBI and they slap you on the wrist put u in jail for a week and make you pay a 100k fine. Then hire you for a 150-200k a year job.

Auto-Membered at that.

That was Da 0wner, I joined a forum of his with an alternate to my password on SRL. I later logged onto my account, and saw some pages read which I hadn't read personally. I confronted him, he admitted. This was about 18 months ago now, but I definitely wouldn't have allowed him back in.

Sorry about that offtopic there, but I don't agree with people who have previously committed such offences being allowed into high ranking areas of SRL.

I think he's been acting really well lately :)

I voted yes, he HAS come along way, may want to Re-Poll yet again ?

~RAM

Been on my mind for a while now.

As much as I used to hate the guy, and resent the thought of him being SSRL, I actually kind of respect him now.

Over the past few weeks especially, he's been the one I've seen the most urging Wizzup to commit changes and promoting other such development work.

For what it's worth, I'd totally vote yes if he were re-polled.

I had voted yes, but I honest would change my vote to no.

Time for a re-poll?
