[SELECT ALL] Code:
'legacy.Xenon' matches nickname blacklist line 167
legacy~Xenon logged in (default)
'legacy~Xenon' matches nickname blacklist line 172
legacy@Xenon logged in (default)
legacy@Xenon says: 'I BAN CANT KEEP ME DOWN

The tag ban is not directed at the individual players, but at the clan as a whole. It's saying, "I welcome you as a player, but I feel your clan has made questionable decisions/doesn't play fair/is a bunch of douchebags/tag spells an offensive word in Swahili/whatever". I can't blame any player for feeling a strong affinity to their clan and wanting to apply their tag at all times; I once did. But that's not the issue. My question was about players bypassing this ban by altering the tag, which was, as far as I can see, the reason for the IP ban in Xenon's case. By saying it's OK to change your tag to evade a tag ban you are effectively saying that it's OK to change your IP address to evade an IP ban. A ban is a ban, regardless of how it's effected.
