Look, Redharlow, what happened is an argument between Soldier and Jayden got too big to be contained, so we tried to solve it in public on a forum thread. They said it was stupid, refused to do it (well, Jayden refused), and unbanned themselves from chat, where I had banned them for arguing in front of several other admins, who all agreed I was within my rights. When they were banned again, they unbanned themselves, and Soldier removed chat so we couldn't do that again.

And as for if an admin unfairly bans another, that's what other admins are for. The others will judge whether or not it was in fairness, and if it wasn't, undo/shorten the ban and reprimand the admin. Actually, that would probably also count as an abuse of power. So the admin that did the banning would probably suffer the same punishment we've been discussing.

And how harsh it is... We can't let people get away with power abuse. Soldier called this a dictatorship earlier? It really would be if we let people get away with that. Here in America, we punish our own President if they do something wrong (usually cheating on their wives, but that's beside the point). If we don't punish our admins and bureaucrats, then we aren't a true democracy.
