By the time I became aware of Admiral as a poster, he already had his reputation as CEs Lucifer, the Fallen mod. I don't really know what his posting habits were like on other boards, but If I had to say anything about him it would be these two things.

First, I generally go to bat for the mods on GameFAQs because I think compared to some other sites we actually have a fairly balanced rules-based approach to determining what gets to stay and what doesn't. I know that endlessly frustrated people who wanted Admiral banned a long time ago for the ideas behind his posts rather than the posts themselves. Given that I would say that whatever caused him to finally be banned must have been an end of his own making.

Second, it seemed like most of the time people hand waved away what he was saying by just pointing out that it was Admiral posting it. Regardless of the actual subject of the topic or the content of the post. Which, even if everything said about him was true, is the sort of lazy non-response that you only get from bad faith actors. It also put him in a position where he couldn't even attempt to rebuild his reputation because even if he was talking about something unrelated to politics or race it would still get brought up.

So for better or worse, if he wanted to come back this is certainly a fresh start. The question is will he come back like frisbee, posting exactly what he used to in the way he used to so that everyone instantly knows who he is, or does he genuinely step away from controversial topics and build a new reputation that lets him participate in discussion? Or does he simply move on?
