The best thing to come out of this was the fact that players now get a warning ahead of time prior to a ban. That alone makes me proud of the Admin team. I know this wasn't an easy decision to come to. There were many developments that made it hard for you all to swallow your pride. Eventually, you rose above it all and came together to do the right thing. This final warning process will save you all needless heartache in the future and at least give people a chance to self-correct.
I feel bad that Karst and Lyth won't benefit from this final warning, but future players will benefit, as will the admins. Probably the best that could be expected from this month long ordeal.
