Ok I will step in. I have always been an advocate of not getting people banned from the game. When I have gone to the length of e mailing zup, for a problem with another player I have told him that it is his decision, because I do not want him to lose money and second I am not happy to know a person should lose the privileged and joy of playing the game. But... that is the problem that some players like to push the envelope and push buttons over and over again to test the waters. Their pure joy of the game is to push other player’s boundaries, and insult here and there, maybe meant as a joke or maybe not.
Oh! people are mad at me? I will talk my way out of it, an apology will fix everything. Maybe one time or 2, but when it becomes a repetitive thing, that apology loses straight. Also the patience and trust others gave you, vanishes and little by little your true colors begin to show. More and more people will lose trust on you. There is a saying here in the island, create fame for yourself and then go to sleep.
I receive sort of an apology via PM, do not know if it’s this person that you are talking about, but it said whatever I did I am sorry let’s move on. I have move on, but looks like he has not, and the first step to get people to find at least a bit credible your apology, it’s to admit to what you did, and since your do not even remember, oh well then you have not change.
As far as Jacob job of trying to keep controversies out of the forum I believe he is doing a great job, if he is keeping this player from posting, is because he has seen the kind of language he has use in game and post, and also the childish games he is trying to play.
I was once on his side; if it’s the same player I think we are talking about, but eventually I did saw with my own eyes what he does to others and the way he truly behaves. His excuse to me was that it was just a joke. To him is part of his comedy routine in the game, all insults are meant as just poking fun; that is his excuse; but he is not being funny he is being hurtful to people that offered him a friendship.
