We find the recent matters regarding both the bans of Impy, Karst, Lythrilux, Mephistoles, Snoopy, and Swifty as well as the administration’s attitude towards any dissent on the subject deeply concerning. In addition, we find transparency and justification for the bans to be lacking. We do not find the canned and pre-prepared statements given by the administration to be sufficient in justifying their decision. Finally, we find the administration’s response of “If you don’t like us, leave” to be damaging to the game environment that we in the development team attempt to cultivate.
Before we can resume work on the mod we demand that the following terms be met.
The Discovery Development Team Wrote:1.) The Administration shall make available in full all forum and skype discussion which led to the decision to ban the aforementioned individuals.
2.) The Administration shall concede to any further terms laid out after the discourse and evidence requested above is reviewed by the development team, should we deem more terms necessary to continue work on the mod.
3.) This thread will not be moderated to an unreasonable extent, locked, removed, or made invisible.
Until the Administration meets our terms in full, the Discovery Freelancer development team shall officially remain on strike and no work shall be conducted. These terms are non-negotiable. Should Discovery’s administration choose not to acknowledge the above terms, you can consider our positions as developers to be null and void.

That is so sad ... You won't work on the mod and threaten the admin team to do your demands or you will help it sink !
I never expected that ... Actually the real loyal people show up in the hard times .. WELL DONE , you proven to the entire community how much loyal you are !!
I hope the admins show the evidence, because i am sure they don't run amok banning players without reason as you may think ... but then, if i am in your shoes, i ll just look at the ground and walk away because i wasn't loyal enough in the hard times and helped to sink the entire server by totally stopping the developing work.
Don't be upset by my opinion, just think about it and learn that not all opinions will be in your interest .. some won't and that's life, so get used to it instead of you or someone else start to make this thread 100 pages full of drama and nonsense.
