This is true, he was not purged however, and I’d argue that being “effectively” purged isn’t as accurate as it sounds. He had all of his basic laws still, including self preservation.
This is kinda moot once you get through the rest of the post though
I’m not sure if you’ve been on during a holodeck plasmaflood. It’s something that really needs to be disabled with fastmos being a thing.
Holodeck set to plasma produces infinite high-pressure plasma, fastmos means AI just has to disable fire alarms and entire station is filled with highly pressurized plasma and/or white flames in seconds.
But you’re right more or less, he’s never said his intent was to kill everyone that I see. His intent was to kill one person via genocidal method and the rest be damned if they get caught in the crossfire. He also did make effort to protect the others.
After having actually read through the entire thread now instead of responding to points here and there, I do think the ban should be lifted. Maggot has set himself up with a reputation for being an intentional shitter via rules lawyering and I fell for thinking that was what happened here when he actually followed appropriate AI laws and policy. He did something that put the entire remaining station at risk in an effort to exterminate someone who had caused so much human harm there were no humans left to be put at risk. He did not actively seek to kill everyone just because he could as I initially thought from how he worded the opening of the appeal and ban reason both, and he didn’t put the rest of them at risk for no reason either.
TL;DR
My earlier stance was wrong, have read whole thing and I think a previously proven shitter was assumed to be acting as a shitter when he actually had valid reason to act as he did. This is cemented by the fact that while he put everyone at risk, he never broke his laws and his intentions are proven by his attempts to help prevent the non-humans from roasting themselves.
