Consequences:
You posted where you shouldn't. You made a smart comment indicating that you knew full well you shouldn't be doing that. You also dared us to take money or a ship for doing it. After discussing it, we decided to do both. You also have 24 hours off the forum and the honor of being the subject of yet another admin discussion and maybe even a vote.
I feel I should make a response here, not just seeing as this is my alt being banned but because this is just a silly sanction. The comment was completely legitimate (even if it did break the rules), so why is this sanction not treated as legitimate, and why am I being treated so second-class? Also, just because I did not step forward as a direct witness does not mean I was not there. I was watching titanbot on a cloaked ship for quite a while, so could you please ask before you dismiss me as just wanting to troll? Granted, what I said wasn't completely on topic, but I digress. Whatever.
I don't think we ever said you have to follow the rules unless you have a really good reason for breaking them. You did something you knew you shouldn't do and then dared us to do something about it. Do you really want this to continue or would you rather just come back tomorrow and behave?
