Actually, it doesn't look like they've been banned for anything specific at all. The only admin who even bothered to put any sort of effort into explaining the rationale behind the ban in their sanctimonious little justifications for the punishment was Jansen, and even then it's just a set of opinions on the matter. I remain very, very, very skeptical that all six of those named people deserve a permanent ban in the slightest - in particular, the most glaring example is @Karst. I'm not sure if you know him at all (you don't), but the idea that someone so helpful, self-sacrificing, and ultimately passionate about the success of this mod and community should be permabanned for his efforts leaves a foul taste in my mouth, for one. The fact that people are willing to overlook this kind of thing in the name of 'life goes on', or any number of other flimsy excuses that basically translate to 'I don't care and neither should you', is just as disgusting.

They were pretty clear in stating the reasons for the bans was repeated bullying and acting as if they're above the law because of what ever "efforts and contributions" they think they made made.

I don't know about every detail of every one of them getting banned, but I've seen many instances of them portraying their own bullying of other people as a "community service".

In the last PRIME example (pun intended), where one guy flew up to 5 guys who warned him repeatedly that they would shoot him before they actually did, and who then rolled on the floor on the forum crying and screaming pretending to be a victim, here we see Lyth&co (and you) once again announcing the next volley of bullying towards the guys who the hole thing was obviously set up to rile people up against.

We always see the same group of players starting off gank-campaigns against factions and bases under some pretext portraying it a community cleaning service, when its actually just an excuse to stomp down on people who are weaker than you, for not submitting to your "only do stuff if I want you to" mentality.

Well, that kind of "community service" stinks as much as a group of skinheads stomping down on foreigners claiming they're "protecting the nation", and as much as the schoolyard bully stomping on the little geeks because "they don't fit in".

It's not a community service at all, it's all about making yourself boss so you always get your way.
