Does that mean he is has also been banned from RT's mumble channel?

I think he is banned from the whole server.

I've re-installed but haven't logged on. I have a son now so times are a bit busier.

I did so without consulting the @Alleg enforcement team or pkk. The ban resulted from a culmination of his hateful rhetoric that he has used to attack anyone who does not fall in line with his world view. Metz's hate does not discriminate; even his friends and squadmates have been subjected to numerous personal attacks. I could cite ROC violations as the reason for this ban, but his violations go beyond the rules of Allegiance; even after all these years Metz has proven himself incapable of abiding by the most basic tenets of civilization and respectful discourse.

Metz and I founded NI together, were able to carry on through struggles relating to our squad and Allegiance, and even met once in real life. Metz has no filter. This may work out for him in some instances, but throughout his Allegiance career it's got him into trouble. Personally, I feel like a hypocrite for not stepping in when I witnessed him attack many players throughout the years. I'm also a hypocrite because I have personally attacked some people in my time here, most notably Night, Drizzo, and more recently Metz himself. I am sorry that I did that and will continue to endeavor to grow as a rational, respectful human being.

I've only recently been given the power to use my judgement to enforce the rules of the game, and I take the charge seriously even though our player-base is so low. I did not plan on banning Metz. I did not want to ban Metz, but his lack of respect to me, someone I know he considered a friend was so over the line that he left me with no other recourse. As a community we can't let such bad behavior go on unchecked. I took it upon myself to make a judgement call to exercise the power given to me, and especially in light of his response, I'd do it again.

I made this post as a result of some concern I've received from a couple Allegiance members, and to give Masta a more concrete reason for his ban.

... huh.

It only took him pissing off Dome with his new powers to get himself banned. That is a wrong message that Alleg enforcement should be sending to the community.

Yeah but unfortunately the other option is to not ban him. Between the frying pan and the fire, I'll take the pan.

QUOTE P.S. On a separate note, I suggest we should have a community event to celebrate this milestone in improving allegiance!

My glorious and triumphant failure to return?

Masta banned - check
jbansk pissed about everything everyone else does - check

If it wasn't for MW's abundant personal growth, I'd have sworn that I fell into a time vortex and landed in 2007.

O yea... A few more former members and I had the idea of a possible re-erection of ACE.
