According to the information I've received, the banning moderator launched an attack on Stinky soon after he banned him.

I for one would like this looked into and the appropriate action taken should this prove to be factual

Whatever gossip you heard, I launched the complaint. Also, what part of 'Stinky was banned on the forum not in the game' do you not understand?

Shock horror, a guy is banned from the forum for abusive posts - it's a conspiracy. Shame on the guys who actually know the moderator concerned for accusing him of acting with any bias whatsoever. You should know better.

i would like to put out there.. you use 1 account for everything

the forum and game account are 1 account.. if 1 is banned so is the other.

They are linked together. That was stated a long time ago.. and I remember the person telling me that was Kenny. Even though he didnt have red smoke. he was still banned.

I was the moderator who had Stinky banned, and I don't play E4 (except for an allianceless observation colony)

If that's the case, then I wasn't aware of it - I was going on the in-game issue on the basis of the red smoke.

What annoys me about this whole issue is that Gaurav has come in for some pretty serious accusations which are completely out of order, on the basis of rumours which people who should know better have spread.

Anyone with Routhy's msn and a knowledge of the post in question could have done what Gaurav did. It has nothing to do with any privileges. From a post like that it seems he was asking to get banned anyway.

I believe it was the timing that is suspect. Specifically since the forum post in question took place 2 or so days before the ban.

If it were requested by a NON MupT member and carried out shortly after the incident, I don't believe we would be having this discussion. The mere fact that the ban was lifted after a complaint was filed shows that there might be something else going on here.

Just my 2 cents.

The ban wasn't lifted because of the timing being fishy, it was lifted on a technicality which could be roughly described as staff not filling out their paperwork properly.

Astounding posts here.

Stinky was banned. The ban was announced on this board by a moderator. This is not inside information. Stinky's account was not showing banned in game at any time. If it was banned in game, that's fine. Attacks were launched NOT on Stinky's troops at a radar, but at a gate, where lots of Prr units were killed.

After which another attack was launched at a radar with lots of Prr units, including Stinky's. This OP was not owned by Stinky and when one scans it doesn't show who is sitting there, though we knew from watching. That attack was recalled. The ONLY person to die in this attack is the moderator you claim used inside information to his advantage. He didn't recycle in time and lost his ships. By all means, let's consider this horrifyingly strange.

Children.

This forum is to bring to light any suspicious activity.

Any time a moderator uses his position to ban a player on a 2 day old post then launches an attack on that banned player's alliance; that incident should be looked into.

I was also a moderator here and know that it is a thankless position at times. The incident was likely coincidental however there is nothing childish about verifying the facts
