I'm not sure why you think this is a bannable offense. Was it a low move? Yes. Was he trolling after being called out? Most likely.
However, someone being a low life is not a reason for banning. This isn't a UN Human Rights tribunal, it's a war gaming site of which he is a paying member.
Specifically, what is wrong with FAMO in this case? Like, if it were game chat and this a C&A case, what proof could you provide that this is a different form of abuse?
Same questions to IcePack.
Sure, since you asked I'll take a stab at it.
If this were an isolated incident, or even just a player A vs player B scenario in which they hated each others guts and went crazy I'd agree with you FAMO. You're right, you can point to a SINGLE instance and say "whats bannable?".
But there are a number of people whose sole purpose (or near sole purpose) to be here is to troll, hate, spew garbage, and post shit like this to other members of the site. Simple FAMO in this case keeps one user from seeing their vile trash, but does nothing for the overall health and community on the site besides feed / breed negativity and grossness.
This is FAR from an isolated single incident from this user.
If you can't see that these sorts of cancers in the community aren't having a negative impact in the forums and with other customers, then that proves the point that many are blind to part of the problem here.
This used to be the first part of the Community Guidelines:
Don't be intentionally annoying!
Common sense prevails - if you are intentionally or continually making this community less enjoyable for others, you're going to be removed from it. It's that simple.
If you understand this one prevailing rule you can probably stop reading now, or just give everything a glance-over. If you're not sure what 'common sense prevails' means, read on for the boring details. If you don't agree with this, sayonara.
This still is the first part of the New Community Guidelines:
Common sense prevails - if you are intentionally or continually making this community less enjoyable for others, you may be removed from it. It's that simple. This applies to any part of the site where interaction takes place; in Forums, Private Messages, Live Chat and Game Chat
Community Guidelines
1. Do NOT be intentionally destructive - If you do anything that harms or can be perceived to harm this site you may be removed from it.
Yet its constantly ignored. You dont think Bernie has made the Community less enjoyable for many others? How about being "intentionally destructive"? I'm pretty sure Koolbak thinks this Community is less enjoyable with Bernie in it, and there will be many others who agree (and no, this isn't specifically directed to Bernie, though he is part of the problem he is not the only one who this applies too).
