Ok, they have a much higher post rate than anyone else here, but I don't see why would the quality of these posts be much worse than average. How did they violate any rules? "Spamming" is a very subjective term, but it does not equal to frequently posting opinions that some people do not like. Maybe they have overdone it a little, but the decision of the mods looks very radical to me. This is a clear case of overmoderation. Banning the two most active members isn't a clever move, especially since the activity on the forums is already very low and dropping. Excessive moderation can kill a forum's popularity very fast.

Official reason was that mods need a vacation,so we are banned because theres no one to keep an eye on us.

The real reason for my ban,however,can be found by checking my posts here.I saw through the mods disguise and told everyone about their slacking :devil:

HI Deamon! Glad to see you and Titan back. (Even if I STILL can't spell your nick. :| )

I'll smack Kalah around a little bit for you, if you like.

That would have been unnecessary... :devil:

And we all know stefan bribded the mods so he can get that arrow with the poison on. Luckily my trusty sidekick was there to foil the evil scheme.

Frankly i'd like to know to what exactly did they think we'd reply to, seeing how the forum was more or less deserted during the holidays.

The Round Table is over five years old, has several mods and members with a lot of seniority, survived the 3DO's bankruptcy and went through various cyclical drops in traffic (especially during the holidays, when some people have better things to do, and between major releases). The dying forum prophecy is getting old.

Since Tar came up with calling me "Letty" - last part of ScarLETT... maybe I should just start calling DL "Lucy". :devil:
