I would really like to hear what Ike has to say about this...

Too bad his time has run out.

He has now been permanently banned. You should note that his banning has nothing to do with this nor his admin removal. Before this topic was made demos had been submitted to me that I was until today unable to view. After viewing these demos along with the audit of his logs it was decided to remove some of his powers. After looking at other incidents it then became clear that his admin needed removal and that he was a lost cause. After this decision was made it was then decided that he would be banned for his discussions on hacking that were made apparent today.

IKE started with some poor choices, unfortunately he did not care about correcting them and made his ill intentions apparent and as a result he was ultimately banned.

I try to be as fair as possible with the judgments on peoples mistakes. In the end it is their character which decides their future. What saddens me is that this same character applies to the real world too. This may only be a game but the decisions that people make in a position of authority say a lot about them. Some actions such as the ones taken by IKE make it clear that they do not care about anything other then themselves.

You could describe an admin as the salt of the server, they are the nourishment and the lifeblood that keeps it working. What can be said for an admin that cares not for the server or for others is this:

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
