I don't mind the email spam - but I do mind that it fucks up my mail on my iphone, and I need to get to a pc to resolve that shit before I can even read mail on it again.

It is probably related to this Old One graffiti in the mail:
- Maelflux, villain of the story started a new personal conversation with you at rpg codex > سمَـَّوُوُحخ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ ̷̴̐خ امارتيخ ̷̴̐خ.

This. Entirely this. Every time I have to erase my mail profile, log in to my email by PC, re-authorize my phone and set up the mail profile on my phone again. It's a pain in the ass and I was just out of town on business, away from my PC, so I got locked out of my email for a few days.

I wouldn't mind the mass spam, but quit sending through that bullshit code.

VotS would spam people messages regarding fundraisers and what-not, without them asking for it, and people got sick of it. Both plaintiff and defendant were banned, as is sacred Codex tradition.

Also: people still suffering long term damage over time from [Persistent] Glyph of Warding: Mac User.

Can I get the tldr version of what exactly happened?

VotS would spam people messages regarding fundraisers and what-not, without them asking for it, and people got sick of it. Both plaintiff and defendant were banned, as is sacred Codex tradition.

Also: people still suffering long term damage over time from [Persistent] Glyph of Warding: Mac User.

Like Kickstarters or non-game related stuff?

Primarily the former, tho I was not one to be hounded by him, so others may report non kickstarter related buggery as well.

You had your fun plus + got in the way of that Codex Cemetery thing + fulfilled your promise. Such an achievement. Kudos. Now accept my formal apology for trying to reconcile things with people and for having caused mass-butthurt over such a Big Fucking Deal (tm) - oh the lives I must have wrecked, how will I ever sleep again. I promise to never ever try to set things right again "under any circumsance".

Apology is not earnest enough, would not unban.

Do you think vots genuinely regrets his sins? Forgiveness y/n?

I love it how these people truly think they were "setting things right" by redoing the exact thing they were repeatedly told not to do, again. Shitrider did the same many times too.

Yes, but with conditions.

Redemption is almost always possible for finite sins, but a genuine effort must be made. Discretion and judgement for each case obviously, no magic handbook on how to handle each exactly.

I think he'll burn in hell with this attitude.
