Case Against Sovereign

Ok, this is getting annoying, now I'm going to rip this apart... Mantralord was unbanned by Sovereign due to the perceived indifference of the board admins (he was even ordered not to ban Mantra's "TyrannicideDied" username by an Admin at one point, unfortunately, I cannot find the post). If someone who was banned at one point is allowed to post again, unbanning their original name would seem a logical step. You guys are haunting every post he makes, which tends to make people defensive. When you go defensive in a position of responsibility, you do things BY THE BOOK. That's what he was doing, following the rules TO. THE. LETTER. If you want some leeway, you have to give some. It's a give-and-take world, Chief. Grav posted flames in *4* different sections of the forum, that were NOT the Flame Forum, specifically for Sovereign to see. Obviously, that in is violation of the rules, and he was Temped for it, I believe. Grav then PROCEEDED to reregister SEVERAL times to do the exact same thing. His punishment was scaled up according to his offense. Grav is a LONG-TIME member, knew what he was doing was wrong, and likely knew what would be coming for it. Don't try to tell me otherwise. It's not like Sovereign is standing on a hilltop bellowing about his pot-smoking. He only posts about it when it's on-topic and relevant to something else. Also, the plain and simple facts are that Racism is more likely to turn off potential members than someone in Staff mentioning that they smoke pot. Remember who your member base is. Do you think most people visiting a GAMING FORUM are going to think twice about that? No, they're not. Everyone makes mistakes, and one of those is several months old. Yes, Sovereign may make more mistakes than others of the Staff, but look at his activity level compared to ours. He posts more often, which means he has more opporunity to make a bad post. I would go on, but I do need SOME sleep this weekend, as I didn't get any last night...

Did you actually read these alleged flames? All *3* (not four) of them? They are hardly what I'd call flames. What Grav has posted since he was wrongfully banned, I have not watched as closely, but the original banning was pure BS.
