I'm simply stating facts that were reported to me as well as my own personal experience from actually being there but you are more than welcome to be entitled to your own opinion buddy. Also, the fact that he officially fully resigned from the server about a month before the post was made demonstrates a blatant lack of maturity and ill intent while failing to provide actual constructive criticism for the server in which you are labeling as "simply venting and or letting off frustration". The post was intentionally slandering the servers creation, mission, and operation with direct intent of getting a rise out of people. Joah, Jackson, Zim, myself and Ron have dedicated an immense amount of time within our lives to build and maintain this community for you players. Seeing blatant shitposts that are factually incorrect from uninformed players (especially the ones who resign and maintain their status as a keyboard warrior on the forums) is something that we have dealt with time and time again. Players that hate the server and want to stir the pot on their way out have no place in this community and I can't even fathom the mindset of wanting to come back to something that you hate but here we are I guess. I would also like to make my position clear. This is not me denying his ban appeal. This is simply me standing up for not only myself and my fellow leadership, but the community in general. If Doc truly valued his experience here, he wouldn't have conjured toxic behavior on his way out and lets be real here, this community already has enough toxicity as is. This is simply my opinion and I will no longer be replying to this thread unless absolutely necessary.

Ok y’all need to cool down mmmm kay I can’t read this much it makes my brain hurty

-1. Ron has made it very apparent that channel key really isn't meant to be used on battalion channels anyway. Plus it takes HAs less than a minute to do. Just ask them to assign it. Edit: Also, I can see the conflicts happening with this change from a mile away.

Alright easy there with the lying @Square. The community barely knew about the post because it was removed from the forums within 5 minutes of being posted, It was posted later at night, only a few people saw it because both MYSELF and DOC were in the TS together while he posted it and we both were watching it. Also what actions could Doc have taken after the post was made when the founders instantly joined the TS channel once the post was removed and spoke with Doc and Myself. During our discussion Doc made it clear it was a joke post and he was venting out frustration with the server and I will say props to @Forseen for actually listening to Doc while it SEEMED like the rest yall had already made up your minds.

+1, doc has always been a good guy, I don't see why forgiveness cant be given. (Inb4 Denied despite community feedback)

It seems like we are remembering the situation much differently which is totally fine I would just hope you would be more informed on the situation before you hard stick and argue to one side. A vast majority of the community despised the post and the unprofessional manner in which it was written in addition to the actions of the individual after the post was made. I also value and understand your point as you've been a long term and influential player in this community, however, you are severely giving him the benefit of the doubt with his intentions of the post in which you believe to be much different from what they actually were. I would know as I communicated with the individual before his ban along with the other founders.

You are correct about there being a difference between the two things. But sometimes they can also be the same thing, and by making the claim that synergy had fallen into the same pitfalls as icefuse and become something that we never wanted to be was true for many people at the time. Nobody voiced out about it out of fear of it being 100% true, but many of us who had come from icefuse and been here since the beginning felt the same way. People have even been making the same meme for long before doc ever did. The banning of doc because of saying that synergy was icefuse v2 all but confirmed suspicions and fears that many people did not want to happen. Calling people retards and nwords and telling the founders to go die, is just someone trying to kick up dirt for the sake of it. Pointing out the flaws of the server that many people shared at the time (some even still today), while may not entirely be constructive criticism but it that doesn't mean it can't be. As I said before, people who make claims like this should not be forced away like some sort of leper, but instead talked to and listen to them and try to improve things from a foundational level by making that criticism into something constructive. In regards to pointing out how something had become the something that it fled from in the first place is one of the most important criticisms that can be made. From all of my experiences with doc, and many of the og 104th is that they are brutally honest and not afraid to stand up against something that they think is wrong and always wanted what was best for all the other gamers on the server, which is something that I personally really respect. This server was born out of the fires of icefuse but with the goal and some of those same values because getting gamered on for standing up for what you believed was right was one of the reasons we left that place, but here we are today. Making criticisms and claims, yes should be well thought out and put in the correct areas, but sometimes anger and strong feelings can cause people to act a bit without thinking.

+1 I fucking hate this kid Keyboard warrior Square

As this was this ban was handed out by the founders, it will need to be reviewed by them. @Joah, @Ron & @Square are the Founders that I remember were present during the conversation.
