A 12 hour ban for chat abuse is rather excessive and was applied to remedy an issue that a simple global/local mute would have fixed just as well. I'll leave this thread unlocked for now in case anyone else would like to leave their input on the issue.
Cheers

Oh DK. My name in game might be Hero, but you actually are one.
Let's get less of Sootnik_Diomedes and more of DK.

My recollection of last night is:
Hero was abusing admin in chat and was being a general douche as well. I asked him to stop. He didn't - and so I muted him. Either another admin or the mapchange disabled my mute, and he continued being a douche again in chat. I asked him to stop, he didn't. I asked him to stop again, he didn't. I told him, for a second time, to take his issues with me/the admin up on the forum instead of in the in-game chat. He didn't. He openly disagreed with my actions, insulted the admin, and spammed chat - including a few things in fill-the-screen capslock. He then wrote something like "you're the fucking worst admin" and I banned him. My stated reason was chat abuse, but the main purpose of the ban was to give him time to cool off and take his issues to the appropriate places and people.

He left and rejoined the server, thus him being able to talk again after the mute.
