Re: Timberpoes - Domitius Limited My Word Count

I wonder if you could perhaps expand on your point about increasing the standard for admin promotion. What is it you'd want to see before a promotion? Sow good fundamentals, reap good admins.

Soft bans are attempts to reform/guide a player. It's tough to get better at following/understanding rules when you're not exposed to them.

MSO has authorised admins to exempt players from the stickbans where appropriate.
