HaZardZ321730 Ban Appeal

[aldronaran]

Every case that is reported on the forums should be reviewed by its own merit. In this case a moderator acted upon knowledge currently available to her. If other cases were denied fault, it is because their situation was reviewed and deemed such. This case should be reviewed by its own merit and by the events surrounding the incident. I was not online and cannot say for sure what was intended by Hazard's use of a previously banned word on the server, much like Madison couldn't be full understanding of someone else's situation if she hadn't been online for the offense.

Madison was the sole Moderator online for the offense as far as I know, so either she or an admin must debate the legitimacy of this ban with Hazard. We are all entitled to our own opinion on the situation of course, but we need to remember that unless we were present, many subtle hints made by Hazard and other individuals that would give us insight as to the true nature of the use of this word would be lost to us by our absence.

I stand by the statement I have made many times: Don't tempt staff with situations that have caused others to be punished, and complain afterwards when you join them for the same reason.
