Sorry but that... was a little harsh. Why didn't she just have an FM remove the post? I have all respect for the GM team but that was Owl just saying he's leaving. Understandably he was rude, but that means remove the post and forum ban him. But people should still allowed to say goodbye.
The benefit of voting to the server far outweighs the cost of magic minas (magic minas is sometimes even a benefit in of itself) and the staff are well aware of that.
