He isn't going to be able to dispute that. That's not changing.

This is how every online game I've ever played has been.

They don't tell you what you did for the offense (outside the specific ToS violation) to prevent witch hunts, which you say are happening in this thread for some reason.

This isn't some new thing. Its been this way for what, 10 years now? almost 8 if you don't count 1.0.

The OP knows what the rules are.
The thread title is "The Mordion Gaol is a bad system."

The OP gives his reasonings why based on an anecdote of him getting banned and how this didn't really help him know what he did wrong.

The first response is "lmao yeah it's a bad system, I would've just banned you" with more likes than most anything else in the thread, followed up by "you know what you did" with an almost equal number. And yes, I do think likes are important- it's a measure to see how most people reading the thread feel.

The system being 10 or 8 years old doesn't change that its been flawed for those 8 or 10 years. The OP having been banned doesn't mean you should outright dismiss him without hearing him out.

I'd like a caring, listening community. Dunking on the guy just because he got in trouble once and dismissing everything he says for it is reductionist and I'm not fond of it.

You could easily have a discussion on the merits of the gaol system, but nobody seems to be interested in actually doing it. Instead, everyone seems more content to just tell OP to shut up because he got punished.
