It's a little like when Neb tricked Janus into flipping out at Rex-- it deserves a warning and a temp ban (maybe) but not a permanent.
If anything he should have banned both him and me, and made it for a finite amount of time.
Edit: That is, of course, assuming that the people who react to a troll are the ones that should be banned.
In response to the Ivalice banning- it was his third ban, and third bans are final if you have really racked up enough warnings to have it warranted. S does not have enough warnings for that, and honestly, NONE of you ever send me private messages when you think I'm not doing my job or responding to reported posts. If you think a member is over the line, feel free to shoot me a PM if you think it will get my attention better than a report (and trust me, it likely will!).
And Nemesis, you only have the one warning from Ush's mass warning to that thread. A ban is not appropriate in your case...
