This thread will ultimately decide the fate of Lightbulbs.

Lightbulbs is a helpful player, and has helped with the development of MineRealm, along with various bug testing, etc. It is true, he has stolen from realms. However, this is survival.

Yes, stealing is bannable. However, he already served his ban, appealed, and was unbanned, while being warned that if it happens again, getting unbanned won't be as easy.

He has not used any hacks, and has not caused any griefing.

Ultimately, if you players choose to have him banned, you will be banning an innocent player.
However, I'm tired of dealing with this, so, vote away.

He has not used any hacks, and has not caused any griefing.

I beg to differ on that statement... when Cats posted a challenge for Light to steal from him, and shortly after Lightbulbs succeeded robbing Echo Run(Cats' realm), the realm warp was dumped in lava.

As far as hacking, he hasn't done that besides use a transparent texture pack, which is considered an exploit if I'm correct.

I don't really have proof on the griefing except for him basically admitting it like he always does. Just wanted to point this out to the fellow voters and admins/mods.

As far as I am concerned, Light has broken/smudged too many rules. He has been banned twice for very concrete reasons IMHO. With all respect of the players of Minerealm, including Lightbulbs himself, I would like to vote Yes.

Oh and btw, I do have pics of him griefing Creepington way back when.

Edit:

This is actaully an important point, but it is false. Lightbulbs has been banned for killing at spawn, served his ban and been unbanned, banned again for killing at spawn, then unbanned again after spending more time banned. He was warned the first time. Why should he be given a second chance?

I'll just say, even if he did place lava, which I don't see any proof about, if someone posts a challenge, and he accepts the challenge, then it was fair game.

[Sharingan616]

The challenge was to steal, not to place lava in the middle of a realm warp so when all the other members warp they die and lose all their stuff. :/ But yes, there is no proof.

[Lightbulbs]

This will turn into a massive flame war, I can already call it.

It would seem that I am unable to vote for some reason or another... But in this case I vote No.

This player, as controversial as he is, has done a lot more for this server than many people realize, and if they would get their pompous heads out of their rear ends, and stay out of all the battles that everyone fights with him, they would discover just what he does. I realize he brags and teases about all the "breakthroughs," but still, with those breakthroughs, new rules are formed, new safekeeping measures developed, and installed, as well as a unification of the MineRealm community as we know it.

I dare ask, how many of the new countermeasures developed for the 3.0 were directly developed because of Lightbulbs, found exploited, and removed that would not have been there, and still exploitable by people that mean to Really cause irreversible damage to your realm.

Also, I may ask, just how many of you people would have still been out there all alone, and singular in your realms, if any, if this member hasn't shown you just how important it is, to keep the heck away from spawn, team up with new friends, and build tight networks of security, safety, and wall sealed and lava sealed lava banks? I assure you that I wouldn't have learned about any of this by myself, if left to my own devices.

Light Bulbs I would not like to see you go, I just want you around to pvp with! And your a funny dude.
I never had a problem with you and think you should stay buddy! :ugeek:

[texas_hitman]

im told he was the one that robbed me; that doesn't matter though. this is survival, and having a serial thief adds to the fun. I just don't like it when he kills new people around the spawn. so no he shouldn't be banned

Guys who voted "No" are legend... wait for it... DARY
