Often discussions like this are deleted from the main forum and relegated to the amnesiac nature of the SB, but I am going to be offline for a significant portion of today and will be unable to sustain a long-term debate in that venue until tomorrow. So I am making the argument here in hopes it can be read, clarification achieved, and decisions made. I am making it here as I respect the communities opinions on this. And I am making it here as I am hung over and in need a hair of the rabid vodka wolf which bit off my arm.
This could still be deleted and this discussion held in private if Chief wishes. If you reply to me in the SB I will most likely not see it today.
Yesterday I came in from mowing half the yard, a movie and a good smoke to find CH, one of my best players consiglieres has been banned in a potentially long term punishment. Finals for an event he rightly won are to be passed to the next player in line. The banning occurs at a critical juncture, 1 week prior to an event as we are in full swing in preparations.
In the SB I was told I should know why he was banned, and that he called some players names. CH told me all he did was shit talk The Captain, he would like to be unbanned and is prepared to help us with the event. He is currently banned from the forum but not in game, but coordinating camp participation for a banned player is a logistical nightmare and his main contributions typically occur in our alliance sub anyway.
My first thought on hearing about the banning was did CH come at Chief? That is not like him. Chief has said numerous times in the past that we can say whatever we would like to each other just don't come at him. Simple. So did he? If not why is he long term banned?
Why didn't people just call CH names back as they would before? Verbal Jiu Jitsu was a long tradition on this forum, does this mean CH is the undisputed champ of that? Is this a change that will occur going forward? Are we becomming Neo Pets? Is this happening because we let women into MMA?
If he did not come at chief, did the rules change? I guarantee you more heinous shit has been said between players here with only a 24 hour timeout. 24 hour banning has long been the traditional punishment for going to far at another player, and even then was rarely utilized. So I feel like my player was given a life sentence instead of a night in the drunk tank for a bar fight. Why were we not told about this forum rule change? Should we expect this rule going forward?
I motion to have CHs banning reduced to 24 hour as we were not informed of any changes to the banning rules. Imposing a harsher punishment without warning is a Cecil Peoples level disparity of justice, and by the power of Jon Jone's destroyed nasal cavities I believe that our community is better than that.
Please let me know your thoughts or respond privately if you wish and let us get this sorted out.
Blim, it's been going on for a long time and i've let it go because that is how i view things. If you guys want to fight and talk shit that's your business but now after getting complaints via PM about how negative people are and that is reason for driving people away i just have to step in and stop him from trolling the sb the way he does. He knew he was going for a reaction and he got one so no i'm not going to reduce sentence just because he's your team mate, CH just talks shit about the game and talks shit about the players and doesn't help the game grow which is vital right now.
This was over a long period of time and he was given an extremely long rope and didn't appreciate it. I shouldn't have to make forum rules that include to not say the shit he said.
