So, I have something to present.

Firstly, do any of you remember Messorem? It was Areis alt account for spying on Fafeman due to disputes on Twitch. Well, I was pleasently suprised to find out that this Messorem was an admin so I banned him and had a word with Areis. He explained what the account was for and removed the admin stats on Messorem, due to it not actually being needed on him.

That was about 4 months ago, so I was again suprised to find out that Messorem was AGAIN made an admin 2 days ago.

Whilst I understand that withg the current issue going on we need all the manpower we can get, making your own alt account an admin TWICE is wrong no matter what. Fool me once, shame on me, but fool me twice and shame on you. I have banned both Messorem and Areis due to this, as I feel he is abusing his power.

Another issue also relates to this topic, Rule Number 11.

This rule itself was updated to the current version AFTER the ordeal with Messorem due to Mutahar (supposedly) approving of the proposed rule of admins being allowed one alt account. Whilst it did upset me that Areis essentially used Mutahar as a scapegoat to get out of trouble for having an alt account, I wasn't exactly going to complain as it would have been dismissed as a stupid argument or a form of "attacking" Areis in order to get him demoted.

Now that this issue with Messorem has resurfaced, I feel the need to speak my word. Areis has managed to sqirm his way out of trouble a lot, but now it's time someone actually does something about this. The alt account issue 4 months back made me unhappy, then the instating of the rule pissed me (and Babylon) off a lot. Now with the re-admining of Areis alt, I feel he's gone to far.

We need to do something about this. I'd rather not see a valuable user be perm-banned, but he at least deserves the removing of his Crat stats to prevent this from ever happening again.

Give me your honest opinions on this. If I've done the wrong thing then I deserve all the punishment, no matter how many may (or may not) agree with me. Also, if we could either keep Areis banned or at least demoted until this issue is resolved that would be great, because I'm sure he's already contemplating my ban time for banning him.
