i dont think making a joke at reflex's expense, in a context that only reflex would get, warrants any sort of threat of ban. i also don't think players who have known each other for years on end giving each other a hard time warrants a ban either. i was told i was not immune to bans, which came out of nowhere, and then implied that cafe was being a nazi. which resulted in said ban. just because he has an @ does not mean i have to respect him. you have to treat other people with respect in order to get it back. in all honesty i shouldnt even have to make a post, but throwing out bans like this is ridiculous. there should not be a thought police lurking in the pug channel.
there are only a few things that i truly think warrant a ban, namely deadpugging, interrupting teamspeak, aliasing, and talking down to new players.
im not exactly sure what you mean by turds running rampant. im not on constantly because i use mibbit for now, but i havent really seen any sort of consistent disturbance from people speaking in the channel, aside from chicken/sly.
but i do think this reaction is overboard. moderating the channel and having to go through a field test just to get voice to pug is not going to be friendly to new players.
