Well, said "crappy rule" has been around since the days when I first started playing Subspace and this zone, when all the people we love to laud as being amazing leaders were in charge. Yet it still exists? Why? Because it is a rule which, if broken, DIRECTLY DISRUPTS THE GAME. Can you play the powerball game with no powerball? Didn't think so. Keep in mind, other things which directly disrupt the game include: Twister, framelag, lego.exe, and overclocking. They make the game unplayable for others, which is why the disruptors are punished. That being said, i'm never in support of bans that last this long unless the losers that earned said ban do not deserve to be around period, like advertisers who will never be back for example. But don't blast the rule for being "crappy", because then you make yourself look as foolish as when (for example) you take the mantle of "Elite Vet" and preach from a blatently wrong point of view that makes me promptly shove the foot that was formerly in your mouth into your stomach (edit) Oh, and Joker: Blue is over the age of 18 dear, as are the very large majority of people (aka: everyone but ntfx) who have access to make a ban more then 7 days. And net's quite mature imo. (/edit) <3 Everyone :julius:
