I keep up to date with political issues as well as being a huge History nut Not sure what else to say, this is my second time applying for Civitate and it would be an honor to join the ranks. Thank you for your time.

He is a fan of history and showcases much knowledge as he regularly posts in the Vestigia Vetustatis, Themia Devia, Ethos Mores & Monastica, amongst other boards. His posts always add something of substance to the discussion, and I feel Drexx deserves to be recognized as a worthy member of the community he so regularly frequents.
    A poll may be added by Asterix if he feels its appropriate...

    Heres his previous attempt to become a Civitate

    FAILED: Drexx for Civitates (Patron: Rzzza)

    Apparently he failed mainly for lack of respect to Archer and other members of staff. It was said that he may well pass in a view months if proposed again.


    After reviewing some of his posts he appears the sort of person who is very keen to debate. A frequent poster in many sub-forums of the TD, i couldnt find anything particularly bad to say about him.

    Im a little confused though about why so many of the threads he has created are located within the "TWC Cemetery".. could someone fill me in on that?

    Last time those threads were posted in was last year...over 12 months ago... and at least on the first page there was only one of them closed. So its nothing but an automatic move.

    Thanks Mim, that is greatly greatly apreciated. *hugs*

    One user note, reduced from warn to caution, attacking Archer. TBN also says he was attacked (TBN, can you link us where?). On the other hand the majority of his posts are excellent. He seems mature, with the exception of that which is noted in the user notes. So I'm inclined to say yes... but for that user note... hm....

    Thankyou
    Yeah, god forbid we have our own view on the effects of certain "illegal" drugs. I realize you're just doing your job but...Heil Hitler to you too.
    Archer then responded with the post that is now in his usernote, and he replied with what you can also see in the user note.


    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showp...7&postcount=35

    I believe Imb (or was it Tac?) gave him the user note; as usually we try to avoid warning people who have flamed/trolled us individually too.

    His warning, was, of course, intended to cover both his mild trolling (Heil Hitler... (Me)) and his more substantial flaming (Sieg Heil... (Archer))

    I later reduced it to a caution as a Tribunal judge, after he had seemed 'repentant'

    I would vote yes, personally. He has apologised and made no repeat offenses.

    Its really that I wanted to check, if the whole thing was one issue and a one off (as ex-Imperial Consul we can assume TBN would have spotted anything else) I think it can be disregarded, although the warning, had it not been reduced, would at this point not have expired, though by the time of announcing it would have done... so I guess its a yea (or yex) from me, too...

    I personally like Drexx. His posts are most often very enjoyable. Great man, should be made civitate.

    I agree, and he called Archer Hitler, instant yes from me. (kidding)
    Well, if I, Belisarius, the Black Prince, and you all agree on something, I really don't think there can be any further discussion.

    Anyone whose anti-authoritarian nature reduces them to reference Hitler in the face of both our liason within ON and a site administrator in a thread whose contents constitute one of the few TOS offenses whose legality within the US can close the site is an automatic no regardless of a so called "repentent" nature. Furthermore, that someone can be claimed repentent before the warning has even been given time to expire directly contravenes the entire point of an expiration date to begin with.

    I would tend to take the view that someone who calls two of the highest ranking staff members nazis on seperate occassions does not really deserve to be a civitate. However RZZZA seems to have summerised this candidate quite nicely, so on the strength of his argument and from what ive read i've decided to vote yes.

    Hopefuly i or anyone else who votes yes will not regret it.

    I would have voted yes on the previous attempt. I like him (is that good?) and I was the one who gave him the warning, as per policy. Even though it was fairly recent, I do think it was something of an abherration, so I shall vote yes.

    Mim, again, I highlight this fact;
    Reduced to a Caution by the Tribunal (TBN)
    Not a warning, in fact; the Trium obviously thought that that was too harsh and reduced it to a caution!

    I'm going to say no as much as I hate to go against the tide of opinion. If he had been a marvelous member and a fantastic poster then I would let him through but he is not so I am going to weigh that up in consideration of past behaviour.

    If it had been someone like Erik who is a great poster I could ignore past behaviour so long as there were no current warnings, but drexx not at the moment.
