Okay, no perms. Good for the forums in the long run. I kinda wonder, though. Those emperors that are now ex-emperors. How hard wil they fight to regain their titles?

If they spam to get back to their old levels... they will just keep getting reduced until they figure it out, or get a vacation!

Not bad...not bad at all...oh well.

BTW-what was AlphaLeague? I remember something about it way back when I first came here.

[MarkG]

alphaleague was the sister site (for smac) of civleague, which it later joined to form the current gameleague

[Narck]

I'll agree that it is a good thing no permanent bans have been handed out.

[UltraSonix]

I think 50% is going a bit over the top... but at least there's been no permanents.

But I wanted to ask, how did oyu guys (the mods) find out? If you don't want to say, at least say whether or not AH was the person to dob them in....



------------------
No, in Australia we don't live with kangaroos and koalas in our backyards... Despite any stupid advertisments you may see to the contrary...

[Mao]

How did they find out? Let's see...AH told them...I'm pretty sure someone told Ming via ICQ probably *looks at AH* ...and then Dookie has to get all cocky about it.

Hey, can't we give AH an honorary 10% too?
He did start a thread there, after all.
I made one post in the damn thing, telling them to edit their crap...sheesh...but it's ok, cause I like being Prince Charming...in fact, if it can be arranged without me having to be a bad boy, I might just want to stay here. My symbolic Anti-Spam Stand.

Figures Horse would come out smelling like a rose...way to go, Huggy Bear!

Upon further reflection...this seems like a very equitable and fair distribution of punishments...I'm surprised you went to so much trouble to assign different degrees of retribution, in relation to offense.
But if you want to protect your source, you'd better give him at least a cursory slap on the wrist (like me). Otherwise, you've just made him a huge target for accusers...

[Lazarus & the Gimp]

They should have all got 100%. The buggers never invited me.

[Par4]

God you guys are lucky ******** I think everyone was expecting permanate bannings, especially with the porno....

And how did you guys find out? AH should get 10% for extortion, I saved a few of the things he posted.

edit: why doesnt that edit out bas ards
