    I think it goes without saying that if you break rules, you simply lose priveleges.

    If it's going to be the case where Raistlin can't change his custom title for the next 139 days and 4 hours, than at least just remove the title completely fo those banned from EoEO, just so Raistlin don't have to worry about his custom title at all.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Finally, someone makes sense! Thanks, Azar.

    But your argument still fails, Leeza, because losing simply the ability to change custom title isn't really a punishment. Losing infinte PMs, yes, losing FS status, yes, losing ability to post usernotes, yes. But custom titles? Give me a break. And since when, Leeza, do you speak for everyone? RSL said he thinks it's silly and he's an admin who can actually change it. I'd like to hear the admins' opinions on this.

    Why should the staff have to accomodate their actions for others, or in this case, one individual. I don't see anyone else complaining. This complaint is childish. I mean, really, Raistlin is a jerk now and then in EoEO, and he knew the rules. This is a punishment, and it may or may not be 100% fair, but what is making stupid threads and complaining going to do about it?

    Seriously man, I know it's just Raistlin, but is that really necessary?

    The fact of the matter is it's NOT a punishment - it's just something the staff didn't take into account that they NOW say is punishment because Leeza thinks it should be that way. The rules in the EoEO forum say don't be a jerk or you can lose posting privileges in that forum, not don't be a jerk or you can lose PM space, lose usernote privileges, lose the ability to change your custom title (not lose custom title, just the ability to change it from whatever it already is), etc.

    It's just a custom title. Don't you think you're over-reacting?

    I think you're a whiner. That's what I think.

    Why should we list every single thing that you can and can't do? We'd have to do it for every single different usergroup and somehow make it so that people can know which usergroup they're in, not to mention the secondary usergroups which also come in to play. This sort of list that you guys are asking for would be way too freaking long.

    EDIT: We took it into account a long time ago when someone else asked this kind of question, by the way. We all agreed that it's tough luck and you lose that privilege. Pretty much what Hsu said is dead on.

    Who's asking for that? But you SHOULD list what punishments you deal out in the rules for the EoEO forum.

    That was for Shlup and only dealt with PMs and usernotes. The custom title thing is an obvious error.

    Obviously it is to you.
    And since when, Leeza, do you speak for everyone?
    I don't. I just have a better memory sometimes...and sometimes not.

    Well, obviously the rest of the staff is backing Leeza, Raistlin. Maybe you should just shut up about the entire thing.

    Yeah, be sure to add "Loony BoB molested my custom title and I can't get up" to the FAQ for what happens when you're a whiney little snot rag.
