Will say that I was not made to post it. I also want to emphasize that the whole team supports this post.

Also, I think that I can provide a somewhat less biased answers as I was not involved in the initial ban decision.

There is a problem if you are the only admin on the team who can provide an unbiased answer.

Staff is told at the beginning that they may have to ban their friends one day and there can't be bias. Its disappointing to hear that a proper investigation was not conducted to begin with. Even with multiple former senior staff members who should have known better to guide the decision. It seems that there was heavy bias in the decision to initially ban Battons and Jack. What a shame.

I would like to point out, Tdawg was a fresh set of eyes on the info that didn't already have their own opinions on the matters, as someone who has had many heated augments over these topics due to my own standing on the matter, before the unbans occurred.  Fortunately there was no heavy bias in the decision to do the initial bans, (maybe in the length but that is highly debate-able)  and at the time a proper investigation was carried out, the same for the majority of past bans like these, which most of them never talk to the accused.  While I still vocally disagree with how that investigation took place it did take place.
