I'd also like to point out that this is Zaq's FIRST offense for anything hack-related. (Or grief related, for that matter.) It's against Kreatious' policy to use such a lengthy ban on the first offense for something such as this. Not only that, but I watched as both Sonic and Cruiser put Zaq into question, trolled him, then left him in there after Sonic logged out. I was not given a straight answer as to why he was left, other than "I was questioning him, not you," which clearly wasn't the case.
If it were up to me, this would be approved, or at the VERY LEAST shortened to a few hours, IF someone can provide proof of automine being used. However, after using my own judgement, and unbanning Zaq after such an outrageous ban, I was consulted*, about it being "against mod policy" to unban someone without asking the mod's permission, whom did the banning.
I feel intimidated to the point where I'm not going to make a decision here, without worrying about being trolled by these people yet again. I just hope someone on our moderating team is conscious of what's going on, and can agree with me on this one. But like I said, I don't want to have deal with those players acting the way they did, so for now, I'm sitting back and letting someone else make an educated decision on this matter.
