Nobody should be banned for offsite behavior unless they try and bring that offsite behavior on here. If Ravnsborg returned and started bragging about how he personally ended someone's life then he should be banned, but if he wants to come back and post about polling data for 2022 South Dakota state elections then he should be allowed to.
Would you support not banning Einzige if he wasn't already banned? How about unbanning Snowguy?

I don't know who those people are or why they were banned so I'm not going to comment, but seeing as how I'm willing to accommodate somebody who literally killed an innocent person that should indicate my stance on whether or not people's offsite behavior should be brought up on this website, again unless they bring it up first.
One was convicted of possession of child pornography including images of a 7-year old, the other is a registered sex offender who tried to solicit hiring minors for sex.

This must have happened with Snowguy while I was on hiatus.  Which one was him?
He had the possession of child pornography charge.

I'm assuming that the fact that anyone even knows this probably means that they somehow brought this drama into Atlas, which would fit my criteria for getting banned for offsite behavior.
Actually not really. Einzige is already banned so in his case as noted it's just hypothetical. Snowguy was discovered after some drama which did involve him engaging in property damage toward the apartment of another poster.

The Ravnsborg case has been pretty thoroughly investigated. The fact that he wasn't charged with those specific crimes has more to do with his power and influence and not the fact that he ran someone down because he was on his phone. Few people seem to dispute this and in fact the reason he's no longer in office is because even many Republican politicians agreed. Or, surely they would not #cancel a fellow Republican over a few misdemeanor charges involving reckless driving?

As for the question here - it's moot. People maybe don't realize that we have a number of users here who were born after he stopped posting. Nearly 2 decades! It's been that long. He wasn't even a prolific poster either (although still ~1,000 posts).
I've said before that I actually find the idea of him posting here just because he basically doesn't have anything better to do to be so hilarious that alone makes me oppose it, although it's a silly thing to push for in regards to a guy who hasn't posted here in 17 years regardless.
