Drmyshottyizsik has been banned for 3 months from Discussion Forums, Administration Forums, and Site Chat.

Drmyshottyizsik has received multiple warnings and multiple recent bans for breaking site rules. A ban serves the purpose of having users not engage in continuous patterns of behavior that break site rules once the ban is lifted. It isn't lightly that we enact longer bans, but we consider the following rule-breaking behaviors to merit a longer ban:

Universal Site Rules - Prohibited Actions - Rule 1:

Threads and series of posts that are no or low content may also be considered spam.


Drmyshottyizsik has posted under multiple threads with excessive spam. Listed below is one example of spamming, following a moderator stepping into the thread discouraging continued spamming:

Sadly a lot of threads turn to this.

p-edit: dammit, myko!
I'm sorry I will stop

I took this way too seriously, I'm sorry

General Site Rules - Basic Conduct - Rules 1 & 2:

1. Do not make any post or start any thread with the intent to insult or offend any other user on this site.

2. Do not make any post or start any thread that abuses or harasses another user.


Drmyshottyizsik made a thread titled "Kublai Khan" with the intent of harassing the user and encouraging others to do the same. Users are allowed to critique behavior and decisions specific to the role of a moderator, but opening a thread asking for open-ended thoughts about a user and then saying the user is "in a mood today" is not a mod-specific complaint, it is an attempt to generally harass a user, which is against site rules. Being a moderator doesn't open the floor to the moderator being personally harassed.

ya he's a knob like that

General Site Rules - Specific Conduct - Rule 4:

Testing the boundaries of the rules to see what you can get away with will likely result in moderator action.


Encouraging other users to engage in banworthy behavior qualifies as testing the boundaries of site rules. This is clearly inappropriate behavior.

In post 4, Kublai Khan wrote:Can't see this thread being a good idea.
In post 5, drmyshottyizsik wrote:why not? I don't think it violates any rules that I'm aware of does it?
In post 6, Kublai Khan wrote:
DO NOT UNLOCK A MOD LOCKED THREAD.
[/spoiler]

General Site Rules - Specific Conduct - Rule 8:

Other content may be inappropriate and will be acted on at the discretion of the moderators.


Reopening a thread after a moderator has locked it, as linked in the prior spoiler, is also clearly inappropriate behavior.

Finally, Drmyshottyizsik has PM'd users falsely suggesting that once he buys the Mafiascum site from mith he will ban them. This sets up a false sense of authority and leads users to falsely believe Drmyshottyizsik will soon have power to punish them, which can deter users from posting normally or feeling comfortable on the site.
