Attention All CM'ers.

[Steel God]

Geordie used more than his fair share of free passes while a member of this Club. His banning is the natural order of things, and within Club rules. He exhausted his coaching sessions, his verbal warnings, and even his temporary suspension period. The last option open to the Club when it has a recalcitrant member is permanent banning. His records will not be magicked away, they will stay forever in the database, even if he is gone from the ladder.

As some have commented, this board has always striven to be a bit more mature and a bit more civilized than what passes for forums elsewhere. We do not begrudge other websites their wild west approach, long may the freedom of choice prevail. But here at the Blitz we cater to a niche group, a group of serious, civilized, gamers. And to insure that, we moderate our boards. It is what the owners have always asked us to do, it is what we will do until that policy changes, and we respect the rights of others to not like it. They are free to go elsewhere and complain about it, they just can't do it here.

Red Devil's resignation was carefully considered and rejected some 15 seconds after receipt. He has the full and unswerving support of myself, and the owners, and will stay on as CM Custodian even after he no longer wants the job ;)

Good Gaming All;
