So what do you think SHOULD have happened? Should we just have given Degu and Pred a slap on the wrists? What about the next time something like this happens? Wrist slapped again? When should we actually start caring about how the community interacts with each other and the outside world?
Maybe explaining that this behavior will not be tolerated anymore in the future, without suddenly swinging the banhammer at people and punishing those who were in the same team out of nowhere? Again, that is my point. This happened numerous times before and resulted in ignorance or a warning for flaming in ETF2L. So you are telling me that, out of nowhere, people are being handed a 2 month ban for posting a picture on a different website, but people who harass others in the competition just get away with only a meaningless minor warning? This way of dealing with harassment could have been adapted way earlier, but it wasn't, because obviously nobody cared enough, but suddenly it is this huge fucking deal, so huge that they take special action, because Uberchain was the one being harassed?

You are now also comparing a forum ban to a 50% deduction plus a 2-month and 12-month ban. Still, I highly doubt that ETF2L will do the same for the average player. Can I hope for the same kind of punishment for another player harassing me on a different website or will I be swept under the rug because I'm just one of a few thousands?
