He was an aggressive mod who didn't give warning before issuing bans or justify them after the fact, and he objected to users having the audacity to debate things in a debate forum. Honestly though, I have no respect for a mod that locks someone's thread just because other users are spamming in it. Punishing everyone just because you're too incompetent to single out the troublemakers is just asking for bad attitudes all around.
Not really, since this game doesn't have any in-game alliance communication aids. Everything critical is done offsite, so it would only serve to make it harder for other people to track our stats.
