Right now, I've looked over Brandon's account on Moshi Monsters and I can see that since April, he's had quite an extensive history of getting in trouble with admins which have included bans for harassment, bans for swearing in their chat and a ban for "sockpupetting" (whatever that is) as well as accusations of posting pornographic pictures in the chat. Now this is damning stuff right here, in fact, it has incurred an indefinite ban from that wiki, however, I have yet to see evidence of any recent violations and any evidence that he's violated any rules on our site.

Look, I'm sure those Admins did their jobs and found proof of his wrong doing before they swung the ban hammer on him, however, I see no point in applying double jeopardy in this case. He was already punished for his crimes, there's no point banning him here as well if he hasn't done anything else wrong since then.

Double Jeopardy, in case you didn't know, is punishing somebody for the same crime more than once. In America, its illegal to do this and is against the 5th Amendment in the bill of rights (A 200+ year old document that is the foundation of our country)

'''Right now, since he has yet to violate our rules or regulations, I can not, in all good consciousness, agree with punishing Brandon over prior actions which he has already been punished for. However, his lying can't go unpunished, he has been banned from that wiki and found guilty there, and his lying is a dangerous precedent. He may truly believe in his innocence but his peers do not and for him to not concede that point is beyond egregious and not representative of what an Admin should be.'''

'''I support the stripping of his title, however, I am vehemently against any ban. I believe that he should be able to contest this, prove strength of character, and be able to edit and contribute to this wiki.''' I agree with Hallowed, it is not right to just ban him since he has not done what he did on the other wiki but since he has lied to our peers on the wiki, his title will simply be stripped. Yes, great idea. I'm so happy that we can come to a final verdict. Also, sockpuppeting is when you make multiple accounts, most likely to vote in polls more or slip out of bans. It can be tolerated if you just make one new account and ditch the latter.
