Given the first and only people mentioned were banned accounts, I had only the given information to draw a conclusion and that was people were discussing moderation decisions.
I am a moderator. I moderate stuff. When I do, I write in this color.

So you are moderating the forums without actually reading the thread?

The thread about people we miss. Last i checked ztx or w.e isn't banned still is he?

I have read the thread that was locked and I completely support MagicMan's decision. The locking had nothing to do with neored9's previous comments in this tread as he seems to be trying to claim. The OP had very little content and seemed only to be attempting to start another conversation about Claeyt and why was he banned while not accruing blame for restarting said conversation.

Please keep in mind that the purpose of the mod team is to keep the forums friendly. There are rules to help both us and you know what the standards for 'friendly' are, but in the end it's almost always a judgement call. You won't always agree with those judgements, but we do try to be fair.

On a different note: StieveStar and Freedom have been banned for one month, and Brego's ban has been extended by one month for ban evasion with the StieveStar and Freedom accounts.

The saddest part about this is that the ban was going to be over in 3 days after which these accounts would have been fine to post from. Please remember that if you are banned you can always PM me to ask when your ban will be over and you will not be punished for that.

I don't see the point of publicly announcing a ban like this.

Bans are generally announced in the thread where they occur. The point is to let everyone know what happened so they won't make the same mistake. The announcement is also part of the punishment. In a case like this, where the two accounts had been posting quite a bit while I was gone for the weekend, I felt it made more sense to post it here than randomly choose one of the threads these accounts were posting in.

There should just be thread where all the bans are posted with the reason they are banned and when they are banned until.

I second this.
When you banned me I was never alerted of the ban, the forum just gave a connection error when checking it while logged in. It looked more like a technical defect than a ban, it took some searching before finding the actual announcement. Especially since it was done quite a while after the post. A central place to check them would come in handy.

and it would also allow those of us who do not really follow the forums to keep track of who exactly was banned (if not necessarily the reason) and for how long
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.
