What I'm trying to say is, even though there are these "much more active users" bans, kicks and the like are predominantly a staff based affair, and public opinion should be taken if you cannot reach a consensus between staff.

The way this has been handled, in my opinion, is the worst possible way it could've been, as this is only stressful and time consuming for all involved.

And, not to mention, it is in itself a form of harrassment toward the subjects of this discussion. Although it seems innocuous at first, this method is the one that brings out the worst in people, and in the widest range of people. I am reminded of public hangings, unsurprisingly. At least it gave us a chance to call out Kocka's bullshit.
