After finally getting the chance to watch the video, I'm still of the opinion that you guys are idiots, however, I now understand your plight. This was taken too far, too quickly, and for that, it's a shame that this ended the way it did. You should've been temp-banned if anything and I stand by that opinion. It was not a malicious act of "mob behavior" but rather one of solidarity as a way to highlight how absurd the situation was. In my younger days, I've done the same thing many times. Sorry I didn't do this earlier, but I was sick all weekend and had a funeral to attend yesterday. Anyhow, the damage is done, if you truly did quit playing the mod over this good luck to you. If not, I hope to see you all back on the battlefield since your bans have all been lifted at this point.
In the future, if you see a situation is getting out of hand, don't escalate it. We are all working hard to come to a resolution on the admin side of things and develop a better system of handling bans from here on out.
