Agonul should be given a second chance. [sacnr]

Agonul may have made a mistake of defacing Blacklite's real picture and sending it to someone untrustworthy. He also lied about his identity, but this is the Internet... most people do this! It's not like it affected his performance as a lead admin in any form or way. I believe SACNR is a much better place with Agonul in place as lead server admin.

Why was Agonul demoted?

It's no secret as to why Agonul was demoted from lead server admin to a normal player. Agonul had in possession a picture of Blacklite which was found from fairly old Skype logs dating back to years. Agonul defaced the picture by putting it on someone else's face. The picture was then sent to three people (who will be not be named for confidentiality purposes) and though forewarned by one of the recipients of the picture about sending the picture to one of the other two recipients, Agonul proceeded to send the picture to all three of them. One of the recipients of the picture decided to email Blacklite with proof of Agonul sending the picture to them. Blacklite saw this as a breach of trust as well as a personal attack. Agonul initially was banned for this but was unbanned several hours after. A month or so later, it was revealed that Agonul wasn't actually a 24 year old med student but a 17 year old who was in college studying a variety of subjeccts. Subsequently, it was also revealed that Agonul leaked some admin information to one player (who won't be named). This put the stake in the coffin and Agonul was banned later on for this.

Why should Agonul be re-promoted?

First and foremost, who cares about a PICTURE? It was clearly just meant to be a joke and kept under wraps. Though many people do like their privacy honoured, sometimes things can slip out and the fact the picture is out there on the internet pretty much says that Blacklite doesn't care about his privacy as much as everyone thinks. Secondly, both parties (being Agonul and Blacklite) felt the same breach of trust as eachother. With Agonul being betrayed by someone he thought was a friend, and Blacklite feeling betrayed by someone who was his lead server admin and close friend. Agonul also made the mistake of leaking admin information to someone as well. It's also pretty obvious that most admins have been corrupt at least once. So, why should Agonul actually be re-promoted? Well, lets think of some of the things he has done...

  • Brought up an inquiry about legalizing the 'N' word, so it could be used in-game.
  • Also brought up an inquiry about helping your friends, this was then allowed meaning that people could help their friends who are in trouble.
  • Responsible for catching mass bug abusers and ensuring that justice was served accordingly.
  • Ensuring that both the players and admins behaved.
  • Was delegated by Blacklite to manage different aspects of the server.
  • Took part in apprehending the perpetrators behind the database breach of early 2012.
  • Performing normal admin jobs exceedingly well.

Please note, this was not written by Agonul but a close friend of him.
