[QUOTE="Tharivious, post: 3048889, member: 28105"] Off topic as this may be, I feel the need to say something about this: In the age of means of disguising one's IP address, individuals who go to all lengths to cause havoc on a site that actually has rules and limitations, and knowing the history of [i]another[/i] case that had gone to the length of IP banning back on Wizards, this situation had to have earned such a reaction from the Magi. It isn't done lightly, even as a civilian I can assure you of this. Without knowing the context, I can see points where 'mentioning' the banned character could warrant action. Advise them to take up their cases individually if there truthfully is a case of mistaken identity not involving their own actions. This 'witch hunt' attitude you insuate is pattently false. The Magi pursue those who earn punishments and refuse to play within the rules of the site. They do not go after innocents typing at the top of their wrists "Ban the witch!" This attitude troubles me. That individuals can be so willing to assume that those in authoritative positions are abusing their power without any hard proof in [i]favor[/i] of such a viewpoint, while throwing that opinion in the face of [i]valid[/i] proof that they have done no such thing... it doesn't sit well with me. If you think that the Magi enjoy banning characters, you are incorrect. If you think that Magi enjoy issuing IP bans, you are incorrect. If you think that Magi enjoy being accused of underhanded backdooring of said bans, you are incorrect. As Siani described, in great detail, it takes a lot more than a mistake or an accident to earn that sort of punishment. None of these things are done lightly, and the Magi certainly don't deserve to characterized as cold hearted dictators for showing as much leniency as they actually show. [/QUOTE]
