There is a difference in my mind of using peoples words against them in a political argument that can become inflammatory and an all out attack.
Section I of the TOS explains conduct.
“Any conduct by you that in our sole discretion restricts or inhibits any other party from using or enjoying STF will not be permitted. You agree to use STF only for lawful purposes. You are prohibited from posting on or transmitting through STF any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, fraudulent, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including but not limited to any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law. You are also prohibited from posting or transmitting through STF any advertisements of other role-playing game services without the express permission of the Club President or Vice-President. These terms also apply to all STF controlled resources, including but not limited to our official STF chat channel.”
Now, the conduct of William of late was filled with a few violations of this bit. I have warned people to calm down in command and yet, those warnings go unheeded.
Abusive, harassing, defamatory, hateful and fraudulent are just a few ways to explain the post made by William Kappler in direct attack toward Andew Robinson. Because of this and because the post serve no reason other then a direct attack of Andrew Robinson, I am trying to weigh my options here.
Now, while I will admit that there has been some pot shots taken on all sides there is a point where lines are crossed. This is that point. William, while some can say that you and Andy both took pot shots at each other, the baseless accusations that you have tossed out just reach too far.
William Kappler is guilty of conduct unbecoming of an officer and violation of the Terms Of Service. William is banned from STF for a period of six months, after which time he will only be readmitted to the club upon issue of a general apology to the president and vice president that will be made public at that time.
