Not to interrupt this pissing match between all parties, but one of those rules is along the lines of 'no {current characters, alts, past history for either} in Dreadloch Corp.', and there are exceptions made to that rule depending on whom has favor with admins on the bot. Irrespective of one's external behaviors in and out of game, you are subject to being banned based on the company you keep, and then you may be allowed back in because you're friends with someone in the right place. Your argument is supposed on bans being based on an objective and stoic view of fairness and governance, and then there's the current rule along with the exception being in place nullifying that, whilst bolstering the argument (and historical evidence in the real world) that absolute power corrupts absolutely.But, aside from that, pissing matches come down to distance vs. volume.
