[zoraster]

reinoe has been permanently site banned for ruining games on another community. After being lynched, he PMed the participants of the game with the Scum's QuickTopic (unlike our Private Topics, having a link allows users to see who posted in the thread). The game can be found here (registration required). We are all members of a larger mafia community. It hurts Mafiascum in particular, but also forum mafia in general if our users engage in this type of abhorrent behavior. As one user on that site said:

Note to self: never go to Mafiascum.

This is something we will not tolerate.

Moderators should replace reinoe in their games.

F-16_Fighting_Falcon and all associated alts have been indefinitely banned from the site.

After reviewing the circumstances of his prior bans, the administration has decided that F-16 should be removed from the site indefinitely. This is a very unusual action for us to take, and it is not something that we do lightly. The following were factors in this decision:

1. F-16_Fighting_Falcon sent a user 21 hostile PMs in a short period of time, none of which -- after investigation -- were prompted or responded to by the user. These PMs display an obsessive, stalker mentality in an attempt to create an atmosphere of fear for the user.
   
2. The above mentioned PMs are merely the most egregious examples of F-16's continued history of harassing this user, which spans multiple games and outside of the game queue.
   
3. In discussions with the user, he attempted to deflect blame onto others and lied to the staff about his actions.
   
4. He created a thread in MD that was a thinly veiled attempt to continue to harass a user. After an admin closed the thread, saying that it was closed, F-16 opened it again. The admin closed it. F-16 opened it. Whether or not this should be technologically possible, F-16 was clearly trying to circumvent the admin's actions.
   
5. After having most of his alts banned, he got on one that was previously unknown to us to continue to PM other people.
   
6. He has generally been abusive in the games he has played in, resulting in his recent 1-month game ban.
