Yes, his ban was justified. What he did rendered a ban. HOWEVER, Mut had a reason to do it, and I think it's unfair to group him up as a basic member when it comes to those things. Okay now I'm practically saying that "since Mut is a veteran, he can do things that the rest of you can't". But so what? It might be "wrong", but that's how I see things. We (people like Mut and me) have been around longer. We have done things for the forums. Contributed. We DESERVE to do things that the rest of you don't. We all know that Mut isn't a stupid spammer at heart. He's Mut, and banning him for being Mut is just silly. That's how I see things.
Ahh. The old Veteran vs. Non-Veteran fight. All to common. While using the old "I've been here the longest so that makes it eligible" excuse, the veterans feel they should have special previleges to bypass any regulations and to recognize themselves as being above others while the non-veterans feel it's unfair to give them any special treatment just because they've been here the longest. And because the veterans have already formed a close relationship between each other, they stick together and close their doors for the newbies and label them as below them. It's only natural to defend Veterans with Veterans and Non-Veterans with Non-Veterans.
