I checked out last night because this was getting crazy and I had real life shit to deal with. I've skimmed most of this thread and I actually pretty much agree with everyone.

This. At the end of the day Sub's comment is swaying the result, is it justified? Probably but it kind of makes it a grey area. I asked Sub not to post the comment after I deleted it so I could check in with staff. Sub continued to do so and then went on a tirade in the shoutbox repeating the comments so I banned him. Then he continued to spam the shoutbox on all of his multies so I had to ban those too. Then I posted a staff thread so we could make a decision on whether this constitutes swaying and should be allowed or not. We decided it should be allowed, Punk unbanned him. Happy days.

If Sub would of given me a few hours to talk to the other mods and assess the situation this could of been resolved with a whole lot less drama. Believe it or not I'm a moderator because I'm trying to make this site better for you, all of you even those of you that have chosen to hate me.
