Sophia arrogant behaviour

[Russell]

Hi Orlando,

To paraphrase what I wrote on Discord:

• The messages and discussions leading up to the ban in this particular playing session were regular trash talking, particularly because the two of you were fighting.
  
• That said, you deliberately and knowingly provoked Sophia, repeating phrases that you know annoy her. Not just in this playing session; you and various others repeat this on most days.
  
• As such, I believe that the ban is justified as a punishment for accumulative trolling behaviour. You had it coming, and you knew it. Various players have had brief timeouts for similar reasons.
  

Things we should improve on:

• Ban appeals should not be locked unless exceptional circumstances apply such as repeated spamming, flaming or trolling.
  
• Ban appeals should be specific in detailing the reason for the ban, particularly when it covers multiple playing sessions.
  
• It is reasonable for gangs to request that (certain) administrators do not participate in their gang conversations.
  

Best,
Russell
