If mass freekilling then leaving the server is a permanent ban, then an abusive leave should be considered more severe. Especially if you consider the disruption difference between the two and the betrayal to the clan one of the two offences carry.

Ok I really SHOULDN'T be flaming, and I'm not saying you're lying but lord almighty I wish people would stop saying this kind of shit. I remember you, I wasn't around for your ban. Based on all that has been said, +1 for server unban, but I will stand on my stance that I will -1 absolutely any/all member applications you dare make. I... was punished...? I feel like there is a joke I'm not getting here. Chaos was not punished to the highest extent allowed by law. Which was a gentle tap to the buttock.

I greatly appreciate your input, Forest and while I agree with you that the actions I committed were both irresponsible and a fundamental betrayal of the responsibility I was given, I disagree with your statement about such an exception to the rules causing others to cite this case as a reason for their personal problems. I believe (both for my own personal sake and from an objective standpoint as possible) that decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis. XG is in the fortunate position of not legally (or even morally) being obligated to make permanent conditionals when it comes to member discipline. Furthermore, I believe that there are three circumstances wich differentiate my case from those of others: 1. I was 12/13 years old when I decided to make these poor decisions. I am now 17 and I believe that my level of maturity and judgment has improved significantly. 2. Similarly to 1, the event happened almost 5 years ago, meaning that there is potentially plenty of time for "rehabilitation" or a change of heart to occur within me (consider the example of a criminal sentenced for life who is able to receive parole) 3. My reputation before the incident was not one of uncaring or disrespect. Before leaving the clan I performed my duties well and often. It was not uncommon for me to be the only staff member on servers for periods of days.

It's to discourage anyone else from doing the same thing as anyone could do it if they don't plan on being a Staff Member again. With this punishment, Staff really have to weigh their options and consider the fact that they will not be able to play on our Servers again should they choose to do something incredibly stupid. Getting a Staff position in xG should mean something and should be something to be proud of; none of that would matter if people think players who abuse their position as Staff get a free pass to play on the Servers. In other words, what's to stop a Staff Member from slaying everyone if they know that the worst that could happen is they will be demoted? They would otherwise still be able to play on Servers, and more often than not, these abusers only consider one thing: to go out with a bang. I say that if that's what they want, then they damn well better accept what's coming. It's one thing for a player/Member to mass free-kill people; but it's a whole other thing entirely to betray the trust of the Higher-Ups who gave you (the abuser) the opportunity to moderate on our Servers by practically spitting on everything and writing it off as nothing more than a joke. That being said, while it's commendable to see someone own up to their mistakes, I personally don't think those who intentionally abuse to get a laugh out of it [because they're pretty well leaving the community] should be unbanned from the Server(s). If this Ban Protest is honestly being considered by the Higher-Ups, the only thing I'd like to point out is that this will open the gates for any other past-abusers to protest their Ban and to receive fair judgement on their part too (assuming this hasn't already occurred).
