As it's blowing up, I'll put my thoughts here as well.
To the people raising concerns about exercising 1.0 and lack of transparency, the transparency is there for involved parties over what initiated it. Not exercising 1.0 is how we get wonderful characters like Karlotta that, while in theory are within the rules, are absolutely detrimental to the community at large and take a very long time to get rid of.
Does Mort fall into this category? I don't know, I haven't seen what was reported. I do think that without any prior warning that a 30-day ban is very heavy-handed unless whatever was reported was very poor from the player.
I'm sure staff will review it and say "it was warranted" or "we'll downgrade to [x]". I hope people keep their sanity caps on and not feed into conspiracy theories of staff being out to get x or y.
Knee-jerk reactions like official factions saying they'll stop playing the game and/or disband over something without understanding it instead of raising concern and trying to have a constructive conversation is really immature and silly.
