Of course TyD are free to ban who ever they want from their own servers although I can't see any reason for this especially now we have no players in our team that are blacklisted or thought to be cheaters.
The issue I have with this is that the TyD blacklist is used as a global blacklist by many server owners. It's been said that the TyD blacklist is essentially the global blacklist.
And even neglecting any position of trust TyD may have violated by blacklisting two legitimate teams, I'd also like to argue that this is not beneficial to the game in anyway! The game needs players (particularly good ones) and this will kill off competition that legacy and oNe bring to the game.
Finally, what reason is their for such a ban? In TyD's blacklist the players are listed under "[e]vading tag bans". However I myself have not evaded a tag ban to my knowledge -- proof is requested. To my knowledge I have only worn the lags lgcy., legacy. (both official legacy tags) and my plain name; I have not worn any modified tags to evade bans.
And of course, why we're blacklisted as a team to begin with begs to be answered. To my knowledge it is simply because Davitomon is building us our website. Davitomon was a member some time ago and he did play a few matches, however he is no-longer a member so there should be no standing issue (as I said at the start, we have no blacklisted players). The idea that such casual links should be blacklist-worthy is abhorrent.
So yes, I think TyD's high-and-mighty attitude, that frankly seems rather undeserved, is determinedly detrimental to the game!
This is the first I have heard that we were unwelcome on TyD servers. My understanding before was that our team's tag was not welcome. Again, I just join random servers -- mostly ignorant of what server it is -- and sometimes I don't wear the legacy. or lgcy. tags.
My two issues as in my long post above are that:
1. TyD is essentially a global blacklist which is not suitable for such bans
2. there is no reason to blacklist us -- it's just detrimental to the game.

I was not banned, I was required not to use a blocked name because of the views that specific tag represents. I did not realise that playing with another name still meant I represented those same views.
