Probably not to be honest, that doesn't mean the actions are ok to make.
Though this 'strike' does go too far. Rather what needs to happen in order to make people feel better is:
-> Give the specific evidence to the people that have been banned so that they have a chance to defend themselves and explain their pov within the rules.
-> Take into consideration when punishing people, their actions in relation to the supposed rules broken as well as their past behaviour in order to hand out a fair punishment, as opposed to killing 6 birds with 1 stone.
And in the future:
->Talk to the people involved prior to banning them to try and reach a conflict resolution.
Banning people should be a last resort, once everything else has failed. In addition in order to be somewhat fair (I say somewhat bcos disco is not a democracy, it never has been and likely never will be), it is appropriate to allow the accused a chance to defend themselves against the evidence supplied. This means people that are unfairly/wrongly/mistakenly hit with bans don't have their whole experience ruined because of what essentially could have been a mistake which would not otherwise have been picked up on without knowing that persons pov.
That being said, if we want to achieve this then this is certainly not the way to go about it. Yes I agree shout about it, make suggestions, call the admins unfair for not implementing these points but there is no point in making demands like this at the admins. If you feel that they have ruined this game for you then say that and walk away, all that these 'demands' do is cause a rift between the admin/dev teams. It doesn't actually bring the conflict to a resolution, every side just feels more compelled to stay the course that they are already on. Clearly that is a no win situation, because the 2 teams are headed in opposite directions. Rather you need to compromise.
Clearly the evidence isn't going to be given to every individual, nor should the dev team get final say over what happens. That is the role of the admin team. Rather ask that the admin team hands the evidence over to the 6 that were hit with the bans and that they be allowed a chance to defend themselves. Say that without that you don't feel that you can remain apart of this community. However don't go around making demands, the admins are not accountable to you and if you make a demand at someone they are 10x less likely to listen you, regardless of whether or not you are right.
