Statement of the Problem
Suspicious and unexplained events have occurred when Enton was the only moderator on the server during a battle. When attempts were made to request observation during future battles, Enton placed retaliatory bans.
Ruling
All mods are advised to stay out of battles altogether if possible. While the politburo does not intend to imply Enton acted in such a manner, if a mod is, in fact, involved in a battle or war, that mod must be extremely careful to not act biased in either rolling back damage or handing out bans or noting rule-breaking. In the event of a mod abusing or misusing their authority in such a manner, they shall be banned from politics and wars and the politburo recommends that their mod privileges be immediately revoked.
The politburo would also remind mods to exercise restraint in handing out bans for damage dealt during battles and for battles that take place outside of the rules of engagement. While it is possible that such actions may be very serious, it is also in the spirit of the new rules to allow players to act in a way that they see as the most enjoyable. In that light, the politburo discourages mods from long bans for mutually agreed upon griefings, etc.
The politburo further reminds mods that wikibans are reserved for spammers and censors and are not themselves intended to be a means of censorship. This is more important than ever given the new model of rules that encourages players to participate and engage with the mod community and through the wiki.
No action against Enton is advised.

P_P_A | ✔ | Your declaration of war was improper, the damage in excess of the rules; Enton did well to temporarily ban you for that. palin might also deserve a small ban depending on the extent of the TNT grieb. As for your other accusations, come back when you can provide any solid proof. Mods cannot manipulate the log—that notion is absurd. (Alpha, gibe modlog pls) |
