I have one question:
If you believed all along that he threatened to, and could hack the forums; haven't you just gave him the biggest reason to?

...Ok two questions.
Should we "watch it", or you never believed he would, or could, so much, that we can all relax?

Edit: I'm not trying to keep this going, but banning him if you believed any of it was a "threat", and believed that he can do it, puts everything in jeopardy more than his "threat" ever did.

If they believe it; banning only exacerbates things?

Fixed the question mark...
Durf might actually end up breaching the security of the forums, as he has warned if he gets banned again he will expose a possible bug.

Wow this post number is 12*12!

No, it was a question.
It might have been somewhat rhetorical but I still want other people's answers / thoughts on it.

I don't know if your first language is English (so I won't dis you) but I only understood what you meant before the end of that conjunction.
"as he has warned if he gets banned again he will expose a possible bug."
I can take a shot at what you meant, and that is that you think exactly what I said in my second to last post... Which is: he's now gave him reason to :o
So therefore, he never believed he could in the first place.
I don't see the threat (neither does Tank, on the basis that he banned him).
I, myself, see Durf as a realist, he doesn't talk shit, or pick on slight things (like me or you), he see's it how it is, and he may have to be technical about it, but that's only because you all seem to need to be told a reason why he asks you to answer his questions... The reason is obvious; it is a question put to you (No other reason).
I dunno if anyone else see's this, or if it's just us, but wtf?

Maybe what you say is more socially acceptable, but that's not the case when it comes down to who's in the right.
Having a hoard of idiots saying you're right doesn't make you right, just look at the elected leaders (lol) are you saying that the vast majority are always right... Clearly, hardly ever the case.

Sorry it took us so long.

To his mind, it certainly would look like a reason, yes. But that can never be a reason for us, or every asshat is going to say "ban me and I'll hack you" from now on.

And any damage he can possibly do is only very limited and temporary. Tank is making backups and taking permanent control over a system is near impossible. And frankly, Durf's talk about his abilities is full of hot air, here and elsewhere. I'm not worried.

That only makes me want to ask you (even more so) why you ever seen any of it as a thread...
Threat, sorry.

Edit: I also think the reason why he was banned should be made clear to everyone, so's we don't make that mistake as well.
If you don't think so yourself then what's even the point?
Secret rules won't get anyone anywhere.
Don't use the word "Coke" a few people around here are against the "Coke" company, but shh, it's a secret, but you'll be banned without notice for saying it?

Stupid analogy maybe, but you see my point; I want to know why Durf is banned!

If Durf sent some kind of "I'm gonna hack" PM, then we should see it...
I mean, if it weren't for PM's, he wouldn't be accused of it in the first place (or he would, but without any back-up)
So if it was through PM, then I think it should be shown!

So in eyes of ConVicT: "Why ban Durf for threats to hack the forums? Now he will have even more reason to do so!" Amazing logic right here. We shouldn't punish someone who deserves it becuase he may retaliate... Convict plz...

Or his second point: "If we don't believe he's capable of hacking the forums, we shouldn't punish him for threats he made because he won't be able to fulfil them!"
Yeah, we shouldn't punish someone who thinks it's reasonable to threaten entire forum userbase because he could be unable to actually go through with it... amazing point.

The bar/party example by Lucifer and Z-Man was pretty good, but Durf is more like a guest with a washing tick who threatens to break into your dirty house (actually, there's just a small puddle in the kitchen) so he can clean it up and throw you out. (I said this to someone on the grid a few weeks ago, I think)

@Dinobro: I thought that too, but it's Convict. Same for Nelg if he still thinks Durf can hack the forums to expose security issues. Ugh.
