[Plunger]

This is under the presumption that the accused are always aware of the particular logs that they're expected to refer to as evidence of wrongdoing, and the ban appeals existed before the statement from the GMs, so I believe that it's a little shortsighted to come to an assumption. The GMs don't share these logs with the person, so when you're left with every server you're in and every set of DMs as a playing field for "well, you did this blanket thing", those shared 'logs' aren't exactly going to pop out. Especially when those logs could be, for all we know of the accused, one part of a conversation that was actively more mellow when you add proper context. There's a lot, in the vagueness of the situation, that can lead to a response of 'I don't get it', or 'But I didn't do anything out of line with the rest of the community'. In the latter part, presuming that the rest of the community is also displaying negative tendencies and you're one of the few to be pulled out and punished, the waters get incredibly muddy because you can genuinely not see what you've done wrong when it's mired in the fact that it was standard community behaviour, and seemingly normal.

That is a interesting argument, and would make sense if that is the case, however, you ignored completely the existence of the Hearth discord group, which does all of that to a much higher degree, was a place used for TCBlade to do such, and is being used by the current Don to do the same.

. . .

Besides, It's strange how 4 people got banned when the group has... 19 people?

. . .

And I know for a fact, that three people here didn't go to others DM's to harass them, because as said, venting is the most harm that came out of this.
And again, a few months is hardly what I call early.

"Saying mean things to the person that is being mean to me" is not harassment.

It certainly reads like they know exactly which Discord server is being spoken about and even which comments they were making that could have led to their ban.
