I owe you guys an apology. I'm sorry for leading you guys to think that this is some sort of democracy.
A few days ago, I was talking to some of the guys about how admins develop a negative persona because of their administrative responsibilities. When the mod was first released, this was something WhooKid tried to eliminate, but he never figured out a way.
My idea to combat this negativity came to me while talking to jeff and this idea was piloted yesterday as an experiment, which worked flawlessly. Yesterday, I would have closed Virtuoso's ban thread after his initial response, but therein lies the experiment. I allowed someone that agreed with the ruling to post under my name. The responses were comedic, while some basked in the agreement of the mentally challenged, we laughed our asses off in TeamSpeak at the illogical responses.
What we expected and what we found was that players could not argue without taking shots at me even though the person that posted on my behalf was instructed to post OBJECTIVELY, which he did throughout the whole ordeal. Most of the responses were truly pathetic and we were dumbfounded how people kept relating their ban to that of others and then compounding on top of that to claiming that I am "ruining the fucking mod" because I'm banning people that break rules.
This is what will happen as a result of the experiment:
All bans will be anonymous. If a player gets banned, they will never know which admin banned them. Ban threads will be created only for those that hack or receive a long duration ban. These threads will be posted under the username "Admin", which will be accessible by all AFM admins. I am electing new admins, and encouraging them to enforce all rules so we can make this community as cancer-free and hack-free as possible.
MY response to those that posted yesterday:
Virtuoso is banned for using a hack. THIS ALONE IS BAN WORTHY. HE ADMITTED TO USING HACKS. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHERE HE USED THEM. HE USED HACKS YOU DUMB FUCKING IDIOTS. The evidence provided can be a result of the flaw in the showkeys plugin, but why would you
COMPLETELY disregard all of the missed jumps on behalf of someone who is a known hacker? Where is the logic by black eyed peas?
And then I hear the reference to "favorites." You go from arguing why he shouldn't be banned to comparing other people's bans? LMAO, why are you comparing bans and who are you to judge who I ban? You are not running things and this is not a democracy.
And finally, I must address the demo that was uploaded showing dop replicating what he thinks happened to Virtuoso. The best way to do this is by uploading a demo of myself in the pug server exploiting the showkeys plugin in the same way that dop did, but to point out how little his demo proves.

You can see in the demo that I exploited the showkeys plugin and that the jump key stays lit the whole time. This proves that Rawryoshilove never scripted right? LMAO. By these standards, either nobody scripts, or both of our demos mean very little when it's known that the player scripts.
This can be attributed to using BIG scrolls during bhop, which is how I was able to replicate it so easily.
This is the last administrative post that I make in public in regards to bans. Going dark now, haters.
