Hmm. Sad.
And you all wonder why we rarely have others want to open their servers to us, free of charge...
My 2 Cents:
1) Masked Mania did deserve the ban, and stated to me, he did deserve it.
2) He was banned and was told by Inject how long.
3)
I was aware of the ban, and approved. To get a ban in this circumstance, 2 CL must agree to the ban.
3) He acted poorly, and chose poorly, including saying he was leaving CG. Very close to a "rage quit," which you all know, I tolerate well....
4) You don't cuss someone out, and not expect something negative occur. Particularly when you do it in TWO servers...
5) Minecraft server access, as with ALL CG servers, is a PRIVILEGE. Several here are showing severe Entitlement Issues.
6) Backdooring an unban request seems, well... Let me point back at the Entitlement Issue, again.
7) I removed non-topic related posts from one thread, and double checked with Inject, to make sure those posts would not delete. They are supposed to be in the hidden folder. If they are not, then something on the forum did not work correctly.
8 ) I double checked with Sly on the post removal, and he advised he was O.K. with it.
Both Inject AND Masked were given opportunity to discuss this event with me. Inject was fully cooperative, while Masked was a little lacking in this department, claiming I should just listen to Inject's side of the story. I also listened to other witness accounts.
Masked admitted to losing his temper, acting poorly, and cussing Inject.
Inject admitted he used the term "retarded" and also got frustrated with Masked, and got close to losing his temper. Inject has also stated he was sorry for using the term, and will try to not use the term again towards CG members.
Last I talked to Masked, via steam, I had thought this was over, and he understood the "why" for, and "how long" his ban was.
Normally, I will NOT discuss others bans with most of the rest of CG, because it is their ban, and not related to the rest of you.
Oh, and the ban stays for one week, on the Vent and Forum. As for Sly's Minecraft, that is up to Sly.

Opened for BlackLlama to post, any other post gets removed...
