Good news...

What happened?

Got me good.

As much as I dislike him I think I have to agree with Champion (dislike sharpmid not Champion). Although certainly should receive a punishment.

I will say this.

First, Sharpmid is definitely not my friend nor someone I would want to defend. Yes, I have known him through the game for quite a while, and we have spoken, argued, sometimes agreed on things, sometimes haven't, but it doesn't influence one bit what I will say next as I would say this for any player of his age and statue in the game.

If this is the only thing he did, and this is his first offense (I do not see his history), then the punishment is completely absurd.

We're talking about a player, who gave 3+ years of his life to this game. His crime sucks, and it will hurt those that are left in the forums as it will fuel corruption and conspiracy theories about the trolls posting in the forums, but that can be avoided by making his case public, which you did. Name him, shame him, write a newsletter article about him. Take him off the chats, give him a forum ban to cool off and think what he's done, take away his cash, all that - absolutely, but a momentary lapse of reason or moment of bad judgement vs 3+ years of impeccable service to this game (again, assuming this is his first offense) and to get a deletion for it, is seriously, way, way, wayyyy wrong.

Yes, it will discourage people to do such things knowing they face harsh penalties, but how many good players will it also discourage to come forth and offer their help knowing that they face the same thing in case they do something wrong?

There are far worse crimes that affect a lot more people that are treated with much lesser penalties or no penalties at all (who said stock script), and yes, I know that veterans are treated differently, contrary to what people believe, much more harshly and we're expected to uphold a higher standard and even more is required of forum posters, I understand the reasoning behind this, I really do. But even with all the understanding I do not believe that the punishment fits the crime, it completely and absolutely absurd.

And yes, I do hope you reconsider his penalty and make it something appropriate.

Release him

i'm glad you posted this. I wouldn't have figured it out from the other thread.


Edit: THE_DUDE. disliked your post

This.



Fedded for outing Torn's bullies.

Couldn't have said it better myself

Fedded for outing torn bullies

well im actually super excited i hated him lol

agreed although i hate him this is complete unfair treatment

Absolutely correct. Also, classic bully move here by Collette, can dish it out but can't take it. When One takes joy in tricking someone into getting fedded, they need to step back, remember this is a game, and re-examine their priorities.

Colette taking a big giant L on this one regardless

Can we read the staff discussion, if so where?

No, are you nuts?

Gave what his account was shit

No sorry hahaha Champion said his case "was made public", so I thought he meant we could like read about it!

You magnificent bastard.

Sounds familiar
