...I'm not gonna go around banning people for during a Strat Battle, a random bullshit thing that people will do in any map they can...
But isn't that exactly what an admin is
supposed to do in a strat battle? If you're not there to prevent exploiting (which this was) and griefing what are you there to do? Hell, it would have been better of you to at least tell your team to stop, but instead you encouraged their behavior. I thought admins were supposed to set examples of good conduct and civility, not demonstrate how the rules mean nothing when you know the right people.
I don't think you can really make an argument that smoothrich should have banned ~20-30% of the roster. Its the same logic when the cops bust a house party. They just tell everyone to leave, the don't start arresting everyone under 21 that is there.
Which would be understandable, if that's what Smooth did. Instead he encouraged them, which is equivalent to cops at a house party getting wasted and trying to hook up with co-eds.
I don't really care about the battle, I don't really care about FCC and HP and strat. What I do care about is how your personal feud with Kesh has led to abuse of power. You say he's a multiaccounter, but where's solid evidence? Even if he is, it's not your place to go and ban him for it, the dev team has handled all previous multiaccount bans on their own. The only solid evidence provided thus far has been from Kesh, and it shows that you banned him on speculation.
