Well, if you have the scoop, spill the beans because i have a feeling this is more MW than AvA related.. i coud be wrong, or perhaps it's a combo of both. did storch get the boot, or did he get slapped with a temp-ban but decided to toss it all in? makes a difference.
Before you guys go all defensive for storch, bear in mind his past history with HTC (he had been (perma?)banned from the Forums, and has had continual run ins (again mostly MW per my understanding) with the players. I don't know how far past the line storch had gone, but it has to be beyond "simple smack" I would think.
If it's a simple issue of vox populi (mob rule) then i disagree and sympathize, but again storch has played the game long enough to know where the boundries are.
keep it clean and game-related and you should be okay. get vulgar or too personal, then you leave yourself open to things like this. Also avoid PM smack because that can be actioned as "harrassment," especially if you're skirting the aforementioned "lines," despite the ability to squelch.
but overall, i do agree there are way too many milquetoasted castrati in this game. they need to butch up.
