I told her I suspected I knew something and she basically confirmed I was correct. However, I still think she's just a troll.


Please note that she got banned too.

I'm surprised that you're surprised you were banned. Carlos posted at least 2 warnings about what would happen to people found to be in breach of the ToS, myself and others asked you to stop being deliberately antagonistic, and that to continue doing so would likely result in a ban.

Your response to this was to either laugh, defend yourself by saying you having too much 'fun', or deflect by saying that Anime was equally in breach of the ToS. So now you're both banned.

Yes, I think it should've been handled differently. Yes, I think it's a shame because (when you're not being arse) I actually quite enjoy the discussion you bring to the forum. But I'm not remotely surprised the admin have done what they've done, I can't understand why you'd be surprised by it.

I didn't take that message seriously, since I didn't see I was doing anything too horrible to warrant a ban. Certainly nothing close to what I did when I was here over 22 months ago. As I said, a warning in my pm box would have been sufficient. I'd have paused and likely slithered back to my journal, watching my words more carefully. However, that didn't happen, just as my formal request wasn't honored. It didn't help that I had Jedi in my pm box, offering a place to vent and being told I'm welcome.

I'm aware she got banned. She was the only one who actually deserved it also, considering she was the one who initiated the entire conflict. I just treated the troll like a troll. I had fun.

Generally speaking, people don't repeatedly issues warnings or direct others to the ToS if they're not being serious

The lesson to take away from this experience, is that your behavior was unbecoming in a Jedi Church, for which we are first and foremost...

That's not a lesson, that's an excuse.

Is being complained about against the rules, or what exactly makes that relevant here?

Being complained about isn't against the rules, however if we receive too many we will likely ban, if only to put a temporary end to the fishwifery.

It is noted a few spoke in support of Phoenix/mortose too.

So, in other words, being moderately unpopular is effectively a bannable offense. Might I suggest that this be noted down in the rules? That way, whoever registers here is expected to tacitly agree to the mob justice that reigns here. Maybe some confusion will be alleviated that way and this won't have to be explained every other time it happens.
