I'm sorry to hear that Mena was in some way offended, but I really can't see the reason. All the ones involved received an e-mail, and anyhow, none of administrators "overreacted". We just asked them to remove the custom title, because people was worried that we were gone mad, banning everybody in the forums. On a note, Mena was the only one to reply, even if all the others received the PM. And hey, I know who started it all, but since that was just a joke, there was no reason to contact just him.

It was a joke, and I've also read the message sent by one of the administrators to Mena in which the terrible word "evil" was. Well the message was friendly, the word was ironic, and in fact was followed by a smile, and adding to that the phrase was something like "hey, who started this evil plan? ^^".

I don't know why people can be offended so easily... and what makes me a bit sad, is that many went immediately on the "banned" people's side, thinking that our administrators, all people willing to help other members and constantly working for free on the forums to keep this place nice, could have banned members like Sword4hire and Mena for a joke...
