[quote name='PlumeNoir']No offense taken - I was just as surprised I didn't get retro-banned either...
Other than Shrell at the time, I was one of the only ones not going "SHrikes, U R teh suxors!!!" I knew what I was doing and was prepared to take responisibility for it. (My thought was, "Oh, I'll get a 1 day ban on the fourth of July - I think I can handle that.")
Imagine if Keen had PM'd the pic to, say, Lulu. I doubt she'd be happy about it. But, Keen even said he was going to do it, and Shrike responded. Since I'm using Lulu as an example, imagine if the same thing happened in the OTT with her. He would have said he'd do it, she'd respond with "No, you better not" and it would have ended with that. Shrike instead let him walk into it. I don't think that was cool, but it is Shrike's job to enforce the rules, which is what he did.
I was the one that asked about the length of the ban, because I figured it'd be a 1/2 or 1 day ban. My only complaint (and I stated as such) was that the punishment didn't fit the crime, especially right after I did something worse with no consequences at all.[/quote]
Exactly, Plume, no hate here, but I did it to show a precedent; shrike saw Plume's post, slap on the wrist. I clearly stated what I was doing, shrike said "whatevs" so I did it. I was hit with a week ban, big deal, but there was uproar, shrike decided he was sick of it all and wanted out of the mod seat, this was shit, and really I'm fairly offended that those who had NO part whatsoever are in here bustin' mine, zew's, Plume's, and Kayden's balls. You missed the point, the emotion that was in the old OTT, and that is why this is a big deal, because shrike flaked and now we are getting reamed for it.
