I hardly think Disgruntled Goat should be a part of it, maybe guilt by association, but that's it, and if so I should be banned as well. That's one I definetaly don't agree with, as for the others, I only read some of there posts so I can't make a judgement call on that one.

Yeah, from the posts i've seen of his, he hasn't shown any signs of "hating" the ville. So that one seems a little odd as well. But Goat should defineatly not be banned.

Well my guess is that there was more to the story then we could have seen, whether it was in game, forums or even in PM land. Personally I have never had one single problem with any of the people who were banned, however I was curious as to how far some were going to be allowed to push the envelope and quite frankly amazed at how long they lasted. To me that shows a bit of patience on the Admins part and as was stated you can only give so many chances.

Its too bad to see them go that way, but Im sure you (the banee's) will be much happier wherever it is you decide to play, as it seemed as tho that wasnt the case for you here.

I say we try to put this all past us and move forward productivley (sp?).

Well I would put this past me, but Goat hasn't done anything worthy of a ban, except that we are all in the same clan maybe? Goat doesn't post much here, except in that US-V thread I heard. But other than that we just play on TV occasionaly and we mind our business, so I don't see any call for a banning, maybe a warning but that's it. As i've said, I can't speak for the others, because I don't know the whole story on there part, but with Goat im almost positive he doesn't deserve the ban.

i don't understand it all, half of them i ahven't seen do anything bad recently, the others may cause trouble but words are words nonetheless and its not leikt hey hacked/cheated. i'll assuem that those decisions were thought about fro a longer period of time than i originally conjured up in my head at the time i first read this post... e.g. liek 3 days, sicne some of those posts. i dont' knwo how long the bans are for, but they were all grat to play against and I, i dont' know if anyone else does, but i hope i'll see thme here again some day.

From my view(not knowing the whole story), I haven't had any problems with these people, those that I've played with/against. Of course, I must admit I haven't been able to play everyday like I'd like to, but on the rare occasion that I played with them, they acted no worse than the rest of those playing.

However, I don't know the whole story, if any of it. As Rob said, it was a debated topic. If the admins have done something that they as a whole, through consensus, think is the right choice, then they have their reasons. This is the decision of the admins, and we have to respect that.

It is coming down to where The 'Ville that many of us know and love is going to have to be re-evaluated. It is going to be that we have to take a step back and see what is going on from a spectator mode. We can not let internal strife destroy one of few respectable servers I have found on the whole list of game searches for TFC.

There is actually a lot going on that many don't know about. I know of some of it, but certainly not all. The admins did what they feel is right. There are a few simple rules that we must follow, not only in game but in the forums as well. Not following these rules has consequences.

It's a decisive approach, and definitely a positive one, clearly taking on a "better safe than sorry" approach. That gets my praise.

I can honestly say I have no idea what I was banned for. Nothing I've done here has been of such a magnitude as to warrant my complete and total banning. Re-Read my post in that US-V thread...you'll see that I didn't use any negative language, nor did I attack anyone personally. I merely stated that I had been treated rudely because of what tag I was wearing...not my actions or anything I had done to them...and asked that it would not happen again. If that is worth banning me...then so be it. All I ask is that someone please send me an email or talk to me in IRC and let me know what I did. Thanks - Snaggle

(and yes...I'm using a proxy browser)

that is something that should have happened a long long time ago. not here to bad mouth, but i think theville is past the point of no return. i remember when it started going down hill too, but that is just my opinion that i will keep to myself.
