Let's fix this

[Haste]

I would have preferred not posting in any of these discussion threads, but felt that a chance at actual discussion with an administrator was a little too good to pass up. I'll keep it short and to the point.

Staff:
- We need to be more consistent. I am echoing Garret here, it's a good point to raise.

There are no plans at the moment to re-vote on the recently banned members.

You agree here that - in the past - the administration team was inconsistent in its judgement. Does this inconsistency apply to the six bans this thread is about? If so, it seems somewhat strange that, while pushing for greater consistency, these bans are not looked at, whatsoever, again.

No, we had many reasons for the decision that was collectively made. Unfortunately I can't share those reasons because this is Cashew posting not Admin Cashew posting, if that makes sense.

Sanction evidence is generally supplied to sanctioned players. The few banned players I have spoken to have said to have received little to no evidence despite attempting to get it from multiple admins. Are these players simply lying to me? If not, why are they left in the dark? I don't think "the public" should see any evidence - this has never been the case anyways - but I do believe the banned players should know what exactly they did wrong. If they wish to share it with others, that's up to them.

I'd also like to note that the admin team has proven time and time again that they're in fact human beings and are not infallible. I've seen at least a dozen sanctions - ranging from slaps on the wrist to serious punishments - get reverted after the sanctioned players pointed out severe flaws in the evidence. Without seeing the evidence, "the six" are not given the same chance to defend themselves that others have had. This seems somewhat unfair and, to use your words, inconsistent.

Future:
What happens next?

About half of your post is about all the nice and lovely things you wish to please the community with. While this is of course great news, it honestly reads as an attempt to divert attention away from the recent bans. This is somewhat strange, if you consider that the admin team seems to have deliberately posted the bans in the news section to attract attention to them in the first place. This, once again, is likely best described as inconsistent.

Anyways, I do believe that, rather than ignore the situation and attempt to change the subject to the server's "bright future", the current situation should be addressed properly first.
