Hi there Chute,
I'm a developer over at the community that Sorle linked to, I just thought I'd pop in to help you understand why we banned Sorle. The community awards is something we do annually, a sign of appreciation for several community members we believe fit into each category for that year. I'm unsure of your reading level, but I''ve highlighted the word previous that I think might shine some light on why an attempt to gain votes in this event (for the layman, this word is community), via a community detatched & indepedent from ours might be frowned upon and a little bit sad really. Driving the right traffic to our community is welcome, but not a few goons summoned by one of your clearly distinguished members in attempt to rig a community event for their own gain.
I hope I've cleared this clearly complex & mind boggling issue up for you, many thanks and I wish you happiness throughout the festive season.
Then maybe sort out your terrible system and make it check so if you signed up after the community awards being announced it won't count your vote? You are part of a community once you sign up for it therefore there is absolutely no wrongdoing in this whatsoever, Sorle was actually driving traffic to your community and he was indicating who should vote on which is completely fine, people will have their opinions and vote someone else. Any other community would of just banned Sorle for advertising other communities even in cases like this but we're supportive that he wants us to be involved with other communities without being malicious about it which is what makes our community unique in some aspects.
The fact you took this further enough to the point of banning Sorle, someone who is actually passionate and invested a ton of hours on the server plus also brought a bunch of players over to PERP who actually play on the server regularly, is ridiculous and harsh considering the fact he didn't break your server rules as
I fail to see rigging community events being a rule but perhaps we're 'distinguished' to see that.
Tl;dr
No one is trying to rig anything, irony is real, free sorle from his ban he meant zero harm you're too sensitive about it lol
