This sort of response is unbecoming of any, quite frankly, any staff member. I have personally been witness to a few comments similar to the above and, honestly, it's quite a rude stance to make. Even if players aren't "owed an OOC explanation" it doesn't sow the seeds of a good community by, essentially, telling people debating a topic to 'piss off' if they don't like the answer they were given. It's things like that which lead to discontent amongst the playerbase and will, in the present and in the future, cause players to leave and not give the server a second glance.
In all fairness, McDankus may have come off strong in what ever conversations were had behind closed doors, and a temporary ban may have been necessary. However.. I will follow that statement with the following: Giving a player a ban from discord and the server without following the guidelines, and rules, that you yourselves created gives off a corrupted impression upon the players.
Personally, I do believe that a three-month ban for a squabble that, from my point of view, happens almost on the daily in Discord leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Just because someone disagrees with you does not constitute banning any player for any amount of time. If this argument had involved two players, and not the Keeper who essentially runs Haven as their own paradise, I am positive that the discussion would have ended with a much different outcome and, perhaps, both participants would have had simply agreed to disagree. Perhaps if bans were not thrown around so easily, just because one didn't want to discuss it any further, then the situation may have not escalated to this outcome.
Ah, well, my own two-cents. Cheers.
