Depends on the player. Usually it doesn’t hold a good player back but it can be what pushes a borderline player over the edge if they are in a fight with someone of similar stats.

Um, ouch

Nice to finally get a multi-point game again.

If he does he’s keeping an amazingly low profile which for him seemed rather impossible. Obviously I don’t endorse people skirting bans but him as a person was never the issue, the way he behaved was. So if being under an alias is keeping him in line I’m not going on a witch hunt. With that said my hunch says no.

I can say with certainty those criteria will not work.

He is here though alias =/= multi. He only has one account and has been perfectly content to keep a low profile so that’s fine with me. Edit: a clarification for good measure that I mean Kendrick not Boub.

Yes, that proves, as I said, that SOME votes were BS. I never denied there were some votes designed to troll him. Just as some of the yes votes in here are doing it for the memes. That doesn’t mean, as I said, that every single non-Cornerstone vote was made because people wanted to piss off Boubabi. And again, the Slobo vote was 1 instance out of 1000 anyway. We didn’t look at that 1 thread and give him 5 suspensions over it. It’s used as an example, not the only instance. I stated the entire time everything was going down that even if his points were valid, which sometimes they were, it’s the way he was voicing them that was the issue. I don’t care if people complain, people complain all the time. However you can’t immediately jump over the line and start personal pissing matches with everyone that crosses your path because you disagree with something.

You have absolutely no proof of that though. I’d wager a few of the DeGrath votes were that, more so once he started shouting at everyone. However you can’t say that no one had a valid vote if it wasn’t for Cornerstone. Whether or not he cared to admit it you’ll never get unanimous voting for the Slobo. I was butting heads with him plenty at the time and still voted for him as well so it’s not like he didn’t receive votes because of who he was. In any case, the Slobo voting thread was not the only instance and you know it. It’s just a good one to showcase to people because most of his tirades are now hidden.

Exactly. A quick rundown of his history from the ban thread (which i don’t believe includes it all) is: 1. 48 hour ban. 2. Indefinite Ban which was lifted after I believe 3 days. 3. 24 hour post moderation + 1 week PT ban. 4. 24 hour ban (which got later extended to 48 hours). 5. Indefinite Ban which holds to this day. He was not given 1 chance and then thrown out. He was given many opportunities to change and refused. The above 5 stretched between December 2017 and April 2018 and increased in frequency as time went on and they only represent his actual suspensions, not the amount of warnings he received.

That was exactly the criteria he was given last time he came back. After his first perma-Ban was lifted he received another suspension of like a day or something, I don’t recall the length. We told him in no uncertain terms that we were done dealing with his antics. He was being given a single chance and if he stepped out of line again there would be no more chances. I can dig around and find the actual terms we laid down if you’d like.

I’m on vacation, @Quik can do it. Yeah, that’s fine.

That’s kinda how the world operates, hate to burst your bubble. If you break society’s rules you lose certain privileges. He acted against our rules and has lost the privilege.

Would have liked to get more than a point but I’ll never complain about a win against Toronto.

Nice to pick up a couple of points and a win, feels more like how it should be.

I managed to score and @Sonnet managed to play like himself. What is this madness?!?

It’s really not been hard lately.

We don’t make rules for every little thing that could possibly come up. However humans do decide these awards so common sense can be used. If his defensive numbers obviously drop off the face of the earth after switching, even if they total decently well, obviously it’s a sign that his time on D gave him an unfair advantage. Stats are the most important thing for the Committee obviously but context is looked at.

Switching over to forward halfway through the season should 100% disqualify Kovalchuk from Boulet contention IMO.
