since when do ppl get ban for delaying? That is pretty lose argument to ban an admin.
I would suggest to ban zlich for some time,untill he learn how to behave. Or better make him write essay about that.
So, what you are saying is that admins are above rules? Did you mean that or just poor thought-articulation?
But, to stay on topic, I think delayers deserve ban. Saying it's not in the rules etc. is bollocks because common sense is to punish those who are taking the fun out of playing from team players and not contributing to the team at the same time.
I honestly don't know all specifics of the event but if the admin was hiding behind a bush and not even
trying to get to flags or whatever, I think that is just plain gay. It might not be in the rules word by word but it's obviously contributing only to his KD ratio and noone else.
