Yes, it was sarcasm, but sarcasm is rarely meant to be taken as a nice comment :P
I fully agree that they have every right to defend their server and I don't mind that at all as long as it is done in a reasonable manor.
I think the original post was handled just fine here:

Also, the custom mob you thought you found is clearly listed on allakhazam with its loot, just type in Ugrak. when u killed Ugrak and saw what you were looting you should have reported it, or at the very least not killed the mob enough times to accumulate over 45 pieces of gear and then start trading that gear out to over various members of the community and causing a negative effect to our economy.
and lastly, if you wanted to farther discuss the situation you should have messaged me or another staff member on our website. trying to slander our server and/or staff because you were caught and punished for it is hardly a respectable way to handle the situation.

That is a respectable response and one of the only ones in this entire thread. It clearly explains the situation and explains why the OP was banned. It does not flame anyone in the least and simply sticks to the facts. That is the type of response I expect to see when an admin is defending their server.
Richardo was obviously way out of line and is treading on thin ice considering his primary account is already banned for other reasons. Whether his initial ban was warranted or not is hard to say for sure, but making posts like that isn't helping his case at all. At this point I am doubting his old account will ever get unbanned and if this type of activity continues, he will probably be banned on this account as well. Nothing against you personally, Richardo, but you are digging a hole for yourself by acting that way.
The reason I used VallonTallonZek's post as an example is because the post he quoted and his reply to that post didn't really make sense and could definitely be taken wrong. His response was meant as a reply to the entire thread, not just the post he quoted. Either way, I think it could have been said in a more respectful way or at least without the sarcasm.
In summary; if a flame post is made, it is NOT ok to keep the flames going just because someone else started it. If someone is flaming, feel free to report them directly to me and I will take care of it. And if we ask the flaming to stop, that doesn't mean it is still ok to keep pushing further drama, even slightly. Discussion is fine, but drama is not.
