I pay attention to what they do and say. There is plenty of information on this site that can give anyone a good idea of how they approach these things. I see a lot of shit-fits thrown by people who refuse to look at things the way they are, and insist things be how they want them to be.

What I see is a couple of guys trying to do the best they can. They're as fair and transparent as they can possibly be. They admit that they've made mistakes in the past, when it comes to banning people. It looks to me that they try not to repeat those mistakes. That means they have to give the benefit of the doubt when real doubt exists.

Here, they've shitcanned two guys that you wanted banned, but that's not good enough for you. You want more and it should have been sooner. Why don't you quit your whining and just enjoy the moment.
