Minister for the prosecution present...
Shaun 'Semper' Roger...Stefani.... Garrett.
I shall make this short and brief. The defence has pointed out several things of notice.
Firstly the fact that Nemesis Sect invited Mathlords participation in the war. I do not dispute this. On the contrary I actually support the defences present testimony that in fact mathlord has committed no crimes within the thread that none of the other participants have not. As such I personally recommend his ban immediately lifted. (Please look at Item A)
In the matter of Lithium however, he was not invited to the thread, no formal or informal statement of his participation was acknowledge beyond responses to his post's which were neither wanted or relevant. His attempts at arguments and 'valid' points were usually nonsense and illogical to the point of absurdity. Where as, had TA massers formally stated Lithiums participation I would willingly accept, and offer my aid on their part. This is not the case, and Lithium's ban should remain after he deliberately ignored a mod and continued to post 'spam' in the war thread.
As for Noobert. He was invited by Nemesis to participate in the discussion and as we have been allowed to invite Mathlord a supporter of TA massers into the war I see no reason why Nooberts participation as an aid of Nemesis is any different (Item C). I do not debate the possibility that his post's contents may have been offensive or harmful, but they were no more so than anyone elses, and lesser than some of the statements made by members of the TA massers. (please look at item B). I defend Nooberts actions and make the point that any further disciplinary action taken against him beyond the suspension of his mod position (which has already occurred) as being unfair and highly prejudice of an FUALL member by a TTF Ombudsman/admins. If you are going to punish him for his post's, then you need to punish every participant of that thread equally and in the same manner, save those who have merely stopped by to wish the best.
In summary, a lot of hot headed post's and a lot of mischievous intentions on the Sects part to wind up the TA massers did bear a lot of fruit and created an aggressive series of events. Mathlord responded en kind to his invitation and that orchestrated situation in no lesser ways than anyone else. Lithium had no place in that thread beyond his best wishes for the TA Massers and his punishment should remain as it is. Noobert has his punishment, I suggest it be left static for the pre-determined period of time. As a final summary, had a certain mod stuck to their word to begin with, the thread may have retained a more tunnel direction and stood less violently.
Judging by the number of post's though it would have been difficult and I do not blame the mod, however when assessing the current situation I remind the Ombudsman to keep this in mind. I am now thankful for jack's ruthless involvement.
Item A[spoiler]
Item A[/spoiler]
Towards the bottom of the page, about 3/4 the way down, and onto the next page where if memory serves I formally accept his position in the war.
Item B[spoiler]
Item B[/spoiler] top of the page and further down, Jack has edited them, but has put in his reasons what they were.
Item C[spoiler]
Item C[/spoiler] It is stated on the first page that Noobert's comments were accepted by Nemesis. This was for several reasons, firstly the fact he has a personal and sever war thing going with TA massers, and further more I like Noobert and he was supporting us. This was of course complimented by our acceptance of Mathlord on the side of the TA massers and my subsequent defence of him.
and yes. That was short.. and brief.
