The rule was, don’t troll the contest, you trolled the contest, you got banned, live with it. Yes, he changed the rules that day. Was it to rub salt in the wounds? Maybe. Does it void your ban? No.

Basically, this.

Toxx comes into play when the rules change in such a way that something they promised to do no longer applies. Such as pay out the same amount of BP, or pay out at all. Changing the rules to allow people to flame other people is not toxx.

Regardless of when the rule changed, the rule *at the time of the post* was that spectators were not allowed to troll the contest. Fran trolled the contest. A rule change after the fact does not void the fact that the rule was broken to begin with.

srsly tho, fran’s ban was bull****. other ppl trolled that thread and didn’t get banned. she def didn’t deserve a week for it.

If other people trolled, it didn’t get reported… and I’m not going through 300+ posts looking for trolling that was not part of the contest and was therefore against the rules.

As for the length of time, it had nothing to do with the offense and everything to do with ban history. Ban lengths are primarily determined by history… if you can’t take a week for a simple troll – don’t troll so many times that that’s the number you draw. It’s really not a difficult concept.

Now back to your regularly scheduled flame-fest.
