my two cents.
I firmly believe that if a person has admin, then we've gotta put a certain amount of faith in their maturity and judgement. That being said, in game, an admin is the final word. State their offense, their punishment and done. If there's any question as to it being fair, it should be taken up on the forums. Reason for this, in game it's real time. Don't have time for lengthy debates.
Looking at this thread... Christmas did exactly what i described above, but he spent too much time typing for an unnecessary conversation. But in the end, it was brought up here, it was discussed and now we all just need a final ruling on the subject.
anyone, anyone?
