Should have just banned the guy for being a shithead instead of playing it all psudo-legal like libs then.

Although the way I remember it going down was slightly different than that and justified the rule.

Basically a wrecker was successfully baiting a lot of vegans into pointless struggle sessions and had managed to get a fire going, so to speak. That is, they managed to get enough strife and drama going that if they had gone completely hands off at that point it would have taken a while to die down without intervention.

The mods managed to shut it down by imposing the rule and banning people who refused to let the nonsense die. It only took like a day and a half and it was over, pretty impressive.
