The staff can **** off pretending that they thought through this ban, weighed the balance of justice, yada yada – they’ve been persecuting Narthok for a ******* age now, making up new and unusual punishments and trying to drive him off the server for no apparent reason. His forum account was basically disabled for the longest time, might still be, and admins were constantly deleting posts that other admins approved just to **** with the guy.
Now they’re pearl-clutching over a Varg meme and acting like they were truly shocked and appalled instead of just looking for an excuse to dish out a ban. Varg is a ******* tree-hugging scandi spastic who encourages wiping your arse with leaves and playing dress-up Viking. Absolutely no one takes him seriously, and he’s just seen as a meme by literally everyone. Taking the piss out of the guy is not supporting "racism and hate” or whatever the **** you’re peddling to justify this target-ban.
On some sites, you know, ones with decent moderation – they try to actually enforce the rules. Y’know, the list of things that you CAN be banned for. Actually knowing and enforcing the rules as they’re writing is really novel for LOTC moderators, but I’ll try to help explain. See, in the handy-dandy rule page, there is no rule against "racist or racial content”. Nothing, nada. The actual rule is “racial slurs and epithets are bannable”. But that rule was inconvenient for you, because Narthok didn’t break it. So following time-honoured tradition you just made up a rule instead to ban a Nation Leader right before a huge warclaim. And now you try to justify it with all the weaselling possible.
Can you people seriously just ******* stop this ****? Honestly, where do you get off? 8 years in, same old ****, same old power-tripping retards who can’t enforce the rules they themselves wrote, same old target bans. Ridiculous.
