Essentially, from what I can gather of this situation, I stood up against someone who tried to make a joke out of my dead friend who then tried to bribe us into keeping quiet, from which I was banned.

What did he receive for an extensively worse TOU break?

Absolutely

NOTHING.

Multiple people were EXTREMELY offended by this statement including myself, but since it was an accident you'll let it slide?

Either way, if it isn't bannable, he still posted without reading the post, which is non-constructive and in turn against the TOU.

Are you trying to tell me that standing up against this is worse than actually doing it? Because if so, I'm quite honestly disgusted with the staff of this community, as you don't even attempt to uphold your morals.

The way in which this has been handled is horiffic.

I honestly don't care for his apology; the fact that it took little to no effort, he didn't even attempt to improve it at a later date, and he went and screwed up IMMEDIATELY after invalidates it, in my eyes

For reacting to someone joking about my dead friend, while I was still very emotional about it as it was new information, I receive a ban.

For joking about my dead friend, even while it was a mistake, he receives NOTHING.

For attempting to bribe his way out of the situation, he receives NOTHING.

My reaction was rather mild for my standards, as I have reacted in a much more aggressive manner in the past, yet I received no punishment.

I am currently banned as I write this, and I intend for it to be posted at a later date.

There has been a severe lack of morals in the handling of this situation, and I'm posting this to stop it from happening again and hopefully allow the forum staff to learn from it.

There is no reason for this to be locked/deleted, this post is made with the best intentions, which are overall improvement of everyone involved, and is NOT intended to start drama. I will be contacting forum staff if attempts at starting drama are present.

I hope that this will not be very quickly deleted/locked, and if it is, it is due to someone (NO ONE SPECIFIC, NOT TRYING TO CALL ANYONE OUT) having an inability to handle the truth. (see my above statement)
