After some dicussions between the moderators of this forum and gameserver we finally came to an agreement:
Within the next hours we will take back ALL bans we ever made on this forum. This includes simple username bans, eMail bans, IP bans and IP range bans.
This means everyone will be able to login from their home IP with their original username again.
We are aware of the fact that this is a double sided sword. Some will be glad about the new chance they are given and will use it wisely. Some will fall back to their old ways and start drama here. It should be clear to every formerly banned member that you are on probation and not every member supports this idea.
Of course moderators won't warn or ban without a reason but we won't accept the old drama scenes coming back. Again, we're all here to have fun and not to fight each other.
We believe in the community. If we moderators can make a cut and try a new start, you can do it, too. Give those who are coming back for good a real chance. For all others you can use your personal banlist and the mediation forum or contact a moderator.
At the same time moderators are given extended rights in user management. We also put our time consuming voting process on hold. Every moderator can now react faster without talking to the other mods beforehand.
The connection between forum account and gameserver account remains. If someone happens to be banned for violation of the server rules or the forum rules he/she won't be able to use the forum or play the game.
More about banning can be found on the wiki.
