Undead Ban

[jamz]

Erm...I got to this one late. Back when I'd just taken on administration of the master server, I was invited to take part in a dev discussion about Undead. He'd just posted on the forums about how he'd caught someone (I can't even remember who it was) downloading an AC 'cheat' from a YT link. The 'cheat' was actually a remote access tool that Undead had uploaded as a sort of honeytrap, so his post was pretty much advertising the fact that he'd broken the law (as it stands in a lot of countries). The then-active devs (makkE, flowtron, RK) wanted my opinion on what should be done about it and what was possible. Undead already had a long history of pissing off forum users and in-game players (he was already infamous for it when I started playing, 5 years ago), so it was thought whatever action was taken would have to be a final warning. He received, if I remember correctly, a three month ban from the forums, and the master server (he didn't have a dynamic IP then, so it was possible). Above all, I explained to Undead that this would be a final chance; that his attitude to others would have to be adjusted if he wanted to maintain a place in the forum community.
I hope this explains why Undead has been treated differently from others. His history is different, and he knew this to be the case.
The above is my official statement as an administrator of these forums, and doesn't reflect any personal opinion.
