Sorry this a big a long day. I have a few minutes before class and I wanted to share why the ban decision was come to.

I am going by the complaints I got over the last week, the many many attempts Staff and associates tried havingOut of the 8 or so I got via /msgs or PMs. J was #1 and jet #2 (GM was #3 if you wanted to know) However all was sent to me privately, and while you are in your rights to doubt in what I say, If you've known me for a long time I don't lie about shit like this. I take complaints very seriously.

You wanna know what? Ryudo would have just banned them day one on a much bigger forum like FFL. Their fun having wasn't the problem. I actually found the RoboCop stuff humorous. The staff as a whole just didn't like how it evolved into a way to mock the staff. That in itself was also fine, can't be funny if you can't laugh at yourself. The simple suggestion we were about to adjust the rules about Custom titles and you guys when "lol" or "Don't you like robocop" in essence a "fuck off" The general attitudes against staff, the Bronies, egging GM on so he's an even bigger problem. All that stuff fine. We let it pass for a while. But..

When I get /msg and e-mails and all shorts of private communications saying "I am not going on that board with that trolling going on" or "I'm going to leave.. Jet, Nick, and MrJ are too much" That. The board cannot grow like that. I have a group of people who was going to share the board. They took ONE look and passed. The reason I got was related to the harsh attitudes.

I don't ask much do? Rules are simple? "Don't be a dick" that's all you need to do. Have your opinions, tell the staff in words not "LOL HAT'N", you know basic stuff. We asked to, and someone on this board I won't name tried to talk to you guys, we've warned you many time to just mellow out on the trolling aggressiveness but you didn't.

As for Kawa's involvement. He did a favor for me. The staff was having a vote on this, and I wasn't going to be able to watch today much at work. He got stuck applying the ban and I apologize for that.

As Ryudo just pointed out.. a lot of other boards would have banned this behavior right away. You may not like our ban.. you are free to discuss it with us. You many not believe this, but if you know me well enough I can say I hate banning anyone. Hopefully we can resolve the issues between us and the ban can be lifted sooner rather than later.

Thank you for your time,
