Okay, now for my actual response. Now, I'm one of those users who likes to follow the rules and obey the CMs/Admins whenever possible. Seriously, if a CM were to tell me to stop doing something, I'd do all in my power to stop it instantly. I hold a lot of respect for the admins, and I try to follow the rules as best I can. But this....this seems too drastic for something too small. Let me get this straight. Because of yesterday, two people are banned. The first, Bgirlabby, for apparently making a not even direct innapropriate reference. The second, Cay, for Googling something. Both of these...are insanely rediculous. The only comment that Bgirl said that I saw that could be determined innapropriate is some line about taking the RP character into another room. That's it. It got no more detailed, specific, or graphic than that. And you ban her, for an entire MONTH? Cay Googled something. That in itself as a reason to punish is ludicrous. Soo, we tolerate people saying what was said but we don't tolerate Googling it...what? She didn't even link anything. And she gets banned for an entire 2 weeks. Honestly, I think these were really, really poor decisions, and it makes me sad admins were so quick to be ban-happy. You know how I think this could have been handled worlds better? A kick and a warning. A mod telling the user what they did, why it's wrong, and not to do it in the future. That's it. That I GARUNTEE would have done the job. But no. We had to just ban them. I'm honestly really disappointed on how this was handled. I don't mean to tell the admins how to do their job, or that they were just plain wrong, or that they're stupid, or anything like that. I'm just saying, I personally think this was a far too drastic decision for something that could have been handled in a matter of minutes and better decisions could have been made. But I guess that's just me....
