If a user corrects his own post, he doesn't get banned.
I'm not saying this in a combative way: Do you know that for sure? I know I've seen evidence of it in the past, but is that an unwritten rule that mods follow? Would the fact that both posts were quoted here make any difference? I don't think Magicalking would earn a permaban for duplicating his own posts, but it might earn him some sort of sanction.
Oh, and I've blocked both of these members' PMs, as I don't feel like reading any of their BS.
"This doesn't matter. None of this matters."
Your good friend might be philosophically correct, but that line of thinking is a great excuse for doing nothing about anything, and I'm not having any of it.
