Good point, JCC. Gothic.net has yet refrained from banning any of our female members. I daresay he might indeed be sexist. Given that his standards concerning what constitutes reason for which to exercise his administrative powers are relatively lax, perhaps to prove his insensibility to gender is sufficient justification for removing a woman from the boards. Which woman he chooses doesn't matter all too much to me... hmm... it could be... oh, I don't know... uh... maybe Tam Li Hua? Just throwing a suggestion out there.

This, I think, encapsulates perfectly the issue many have taken with the moderators as of late. Although Jack broke a rule, he suffered a harsher punishment than that MIR5 suffered for breaking the same rule simply because you didn't like him-- as user response has shown, he wasn't 'problematic' for anyone but you. If you ban everyone for posting stolen content, fine. If you warn everyone for posting stolen content, fine. However, if you respond to the same conduct differently based on your personal feelings, people will object.
