*Raises hand*

This is the worst news since I joined the fora. Sombre is clearly one of the top 5 contributors to Dom3.

Sure he's got a bit of a mouth sometimes, but on the other hand he's always helpful and answers a lot of questions. It's not like he's really been mean to anyone, just a bit impolite.

Permanent ban seems extremely harsh, why not just mute him for a month or so. Or a 3 month ban or something.

I mean, shrapnel is even indirectly making money on his mod nations. They're so good they could just as well be an official expansion pack.

I'm really really disappointed, bad BAD moderators.

well i'll copy my post from the other thread:

Good effing job Shrapnel.

good to know that the moderators are looking out for us and banning the jerks who make this forum worse and add nothing to the community. mod nations, who needs em? helpful, if mouthy, members? screw them. we really only need moderators. then they can ban each other.

Arguing about the scale of the offense vs punishment is fair game, but using contributions to community as a point of argument does not make sense and will not go over well.

Why the hell shouldn't it? Great contributors are what keeps a forum alive, there's no reason that you should perma-ban one just because some minor mods got butthurt over him not caring about one 10 point infraction.

I don't know...for the same reasons that people are not happy when big banks get bailed out while smaller banks go broke, or when the starter on a football team gets a 1-game suspension while the reserve gets kicked out for the same offense?

Ummm... I know the ranking system on this forum can make this point confusing, but this really isn't the military. Shrapnel is a business. They made a move that is bad for business.

I don't blame the volunteer mods. I know who's the dumb ones. the people who make money off his mods of course.

Maer posted your guy's rules. give him the temp ban. he'll probably only post mod stuff anyways simply because he doesn't care enough about the rest of the forum anymore.

Aye. Can't think of anything he could have done that warranted such a casual dismissal of his value to our community.

Seriously, if he's out.. so am I.
