You are protected by rule# 19. This has been an ongoing issue for many sets now which validates Rule #19 of the TOS.
The authority that the admins had was removed by the people. When Suiciding was at it's all time highest, we instituted the Patriot Act. This allowed admins the power to reset states, ban suiciders, label them suiciders on the scores and many other things. This had a HUGE impact on suiciding. Once people's names were released suiciding pretty much vanished overnight. Plus, states were getting reset which made things nice as well. BUT, then you people went off and voted to have the Patriot Act removed stating it was giving admins to much power and interference within the game, so we had to drop it. I did however add a clause to the TOS about suiciding:
(19. - Suiciding another state is illegal. Suiciding is defined as one who deliberately seeks out a state set after set only to seek revenge for events in the past.)
This still gives the admins the authority to punish a state who carries things further than they need to go. This situation has gone much further than it needed to go. But it does not allow us the power to reset states. The last thing I ever want to do is ban a state but verbal threats like what were made need to addressed and dealt with. We offered several warnings on the issue and all of them were ignored. This leaves us no choice but to issue a ban.
This has nothing to do with established players or new players. The same procedure would have been followed for new or existing members.
We have set up basic rules for the game/forums. Due to me believing that all members should have a say in how the game is ran, any additional rules require the members to vote and pass them into law. The Patriot Act was a great law for this game. It eliminated suiciders. It's really the only way to fully combat that issue. It has been fairly quiet since that law was reversed, but it's only a matter of time before it happens again. As we have just seen. We can't have it both ways
Hopefully this will put an end to this situation. Nobody wants to ban people any further. So please, let's just let it go and move on.
