Later, in October 2012, he was allowed to return, but was banned again in April 2013 for the same reasons. After the first ban, he moved to [[SpongeBuddy Mania]], where he remained as an active member until 2018. While [[Controversial Users|contentious users]] are nothing new to the community, Hawk became the most notorious and persistent of them in early SBC history, as he made an enemy of many members of both SBM and SBC by repeatedly publicly antagonizing the latter site over the course of several years. This caused him to become a popular choice of villain in numerous [[Literatures|Lits]] between 2011 and 2015. | ||
Hawk's aggressive and increasingly arrogant behavior made him a very polarizing figure in SBC/SBM's shared history throughout much of the 2010s; in his late teen years, this aspect would come to overshadow his previous history on SBC, reaching a peak during his time as the original owner of SBM's Discord. On top of his years-long detachment from ''SpongeBob'' as a whole, Hawk's egotistical, self-indulgent attitude, as well as his tendency to start fights and petty dramas, caused a level of controversy to follow him through his entire time on the site. On the other hand, some SBM members praised his efforts in calling out and attacking many of the site's most disliked members, and later pushing the staff team to issue a number of bans in 2017 and 2018. Additionally, Hawk's management of the SBM Discord was met with similarly mixed reactions, with many praising his organizational work, but criticizing his chaotic and often hostile moderation practices. | Hawk's aggressive and increasingly arrogant behavior made him a very polarizing figure in SBC/SBM's shared history throughout much of the 2010s; in his late teen years, this aspect would come to overshadow his previous history on SBC, reaching a peak during his time as the original owner of SBM's Discord.

While Hawk remains a somewhat combative person to this day, he has mellowed out considerably in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, and has gone on to have a far more peaceful time with SBC than his prior years spent on SBM. The Sharing Time thread "Anger, Debates, Empathy, and Socialism" contains his reflections on his own personality and political views over time. Notably, Hawk has also rekindled something of an interest in cartoons, beginning in August 2020 with his coming-out as a "late-bloomer brony", after taking a friend's suggestion to watch ''MLP: FiM''. This reveal came as a surprise to a number of SBCers, especially as Hawk used the moment to intentionally undermine his previous "alpha male" self-image. | While Hawk remains a somewhat combative person to this day, he has mellowed out considerably in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, and has gone on to have a far more peaceful time with SBC than his prior years spent on SBM.

On November 11, 2022, Hawk became the first formerly-banned member in SBC history to be made a [[Cashiers|Cashier]], succeeding [[Fred Rechid]]. | On November 11, 2022, Hawk became the first formerly-banned member in SBC history to be made a [[Cashiers|Cashier]], succeeding [[Fred Rechid]]. Along with pursuing his agenda of introducting various video game-based events to SBC's activities, he organizes the recurring [[Community Mixtape]] music project, and continues to regularly appear on the Discord and forums. As a moderator, Hawk is something of an anomaly among SBC staff members, with a tendency to act independently on his own agendas. | ||
