This is such a horrible situation. A few days ago everyone was demanding the perpetraters were tracked down and flogged in public. Now they have been, and it turns out to be players we know, which puts a different slant on things, right? I'm not sure what we expected
One thing is for certain. The GMs are never, ever going to discuss individual circumstances with us, whether we want them to or not, and they have never waivered from that line, so it's not like we can be in any doubt. In another thread somebody said "you sure wouldn't like it if the GMs discussed your own private business on a public forum" and I agree with that.
It's always terribly traumatic when the balance is upset and people are hurt. I feel so sad for those who were hurt by the original actions, but I also feel sad for those players who have discovered their actions have resulted in the ultimate sanction. I'm absolutely sure that if they could turn the clock back they would.
And remember we don't even know the reasons for their bannings, and possibly never will unless they choose to speak up themselves, so it would be wrong to assume the worst. I personally rarely post on these boards (unless it's to welcome a new player, so I'm generally a 'quiet' bystander here on the forums), but I've played for well over 2 years now, and in all that time the csr team have never let us down.
As I said...a horrible situation, and I feel for everybody concerned.
