I agree with Houston that a poll is almost worthless most cases such as this.
There isn't much for us to do but ask that only people with relevant people post in these threads and delete posts that are off topic or would cause digression.
When it comes down to it, unless you saw the person before the ban, you can't have absolute knowledge (even if you are there sometimes you can't). Houston made the ban, he's a vet mod. I think we need to exercise a little more faith in our staff. Posing questions and possible points of error out for mods, such as Houston, is one thing. That should even be encouraged. However, I see a couple of people on this thread who seem to take their supposed knowledge of what kind of a person the banned guy (or things of that nature) over Houston's word that he was positive it was a good ban. That seems a tad disrespectful IMO, but is at the very least a show of a lack of faith in our mods (or some of them).
Unless you have proof that Houston's ban was made incorrectly (or correctly

) or have other similar helpful information (even just vouching for the guy sometimes, I guess), please don't post in these threads? That sound like an okay thing to ask?
Also, concerning the bashing and offensive talk......
These people are already pissed at our krew for banning them. The only real exposure they have to us is most like our server and their ban appeal thread. If we act like jackasses in these threads, even though we aren't all jackasses most of the time, that is certainly what we'll look like.
