This was a fine group under fine leadership.
Current XA has some good players in it but in my experience its leader tarnishes their reputation amongst those who are not in his circle of friends
(and therefor in his mind: his enemies). That is not something I pull out of the air, that is something its leader told me himself in less flowery terms.
So should a bad leader make or break an official faction request?
Nobody is perfect, and everyone loses their temper once or twice. that's perfectly normal.
But a leader with a bad attitude towards others radiates that upon his faction instead of giving the good example.
In that light I applaud this decision. It seems to be the only fail safe this community has next to banning leaders of official factions.
Have people try harder to be good, respectful towards others, and most of all stand above faction nationalism that is the great bane of disco.
If they manage that they can always try again some time later.
If you're the person in question, try to prove them wrong by bettering yourself.
Not by shouting them down, or trying to prove it with a thousand and one arguments.
I was going to say something similar except for the first part, but okay.
So Ill agree
this is hilarious considering how many past staff members have been sanctioned or banned before becoming staff.
