New Rule: No Personal Attacks

[Eilonnwy]

Honestly, if someone was new and acted like her she would have been permanently banned, as it is her long standing weighed heavily in our decision and is what allows it to be temporary. We ultimately must be consistent and fair to everyone on the forum, but past positive forum activity must not be ignored.

And Tiberius's explanation doesn't even include the gloating about what she was doing in the IRC chat, those logs were noticed today, which only strengthens my stance on the ban.

This is not a personal issue, I couldn't care less whether someone likes me or not, this is about the rules, and there is substantial evidence above that she was breaking them repeatedly and had no intent to comply to our warnings. Just because you're a senior member doesn't mean you can walk over us as moderators. She forced our hand, she knew exactly what she was doing.

And I want to thank everyone who dissented in a civil and respectful attitude. I would hate nothing more than for people to agree with me just because I'm an admin. We will always promote dissent, and nothing about this new rule denies your right to disagree or question a moderator's action.
