Let's fix this

[...]but did all the players you banned deserve the same punishment?

This is the main question for me here, too.
And the answer for myself and seemingly many in the community is: no.

There are leagues between the people banned there and this needs to be taken into account when the punishments are handed out. Especially not without a proper warning.

If the only "crime" is to go overboard in criticism against staff decisions, and there is no real "criminal history", a 6 month ban is not the tool to use.

Looking at @Karst, who has been a very productive member of the community, who I know never wishes ill to any other player of the community, and who is neither troll nor bitter vet nor rule-skirter, he is one of those who should definitely not have been banned.

By banning him, you pretty much threaten everybody with "you can be banned just for being a vocal critic".

I do hope that the staff listens to what Garret has to say because he is right.
