Ban Request: Nlewis, Pwolbart, Connor and Co

[Leech]

My point of view comes from a character who has 'ascended' from 'mortal conflict', and thus is rather detached from the whole situation.

You have made it sufficiently clear that you are not "detached" from the situation out of character, even though that's what you wish to convey here. I can't just say "Well, my character is unbiased, so my decision is the right one." This is entirely irrelevant, and I've seen you say it other times.

I was responding more to the complaints on griefing and metagaming than the raids, which I thought had died down significantly. If I am wrong, I apologize for my misreading of the situation. I was under the impression that there were occasional raids every now and then now rather than constant raids as there were before we cracked down on them. I have absolutely no problem, then, with complaints regarding the actual frequency of said raids. That is definitely something to be dealt with. What I do not agree with is the grasping for ways to ban them. If there was a simple complaint on the frequency of raiding, then the answer is simple: The staff tells them to slow down or they get banned. Easy as that. It doesn't take 9 pages of arguing to do that. However, it did, and that is what I am addressing.

The other things still happened. It's stuff they were previously warned, like burning items, and raiding without permission. Was the screenshot posted where I tell Conor that the raiding ban was still in effect? 3 raids followed. They certainly knew that they were rule-breaking. Pwolbart once threw items out of a base, and when I caught him, Saera warned him. He did it again today. Why doesn't that matter?
