Back on November 22nd 2013 Draugnar was given a final warning in regards to years of rule violations.

"Hi Draugnar,

Your problem on this site is that you continue to lie, scheme, manipulate, and take advantage at every opportunity. In the recent past, you have been aggressive to many members, including to the mod team, and you have been silenced NOT at your own request but after threatening to post porn on the website. With that silence you said you would leave, and you were told that if you would consider to stay, it would certainly not be automatic and would warrant further discussion.

Over the past several days, there has been an appeal to Kestas to review appropriate sanctions for your threats to TheMinisterOfWar. We have taken the time to discuss the issues and not jump to decisions, so we are not talking about what is happening this particular week or over a particular day. During the deliberation, we've seen you send Jmo friendly pm's for days, while turning right around and threatening TheMinisterOfWar yet again, scheming with Yellowjacket to make Jmo's life hell, and discussing how the mods are some inappropriate things which we will not repeat. Clearly you have not changed course at all.

All of us - admins, mods and Kestas - believe you're incapable of ever respecting the site rules, despite the far more then normal chances you've been given. Some wanted a ban, some wanted to give you one more chance. After a very long deliberation, we are going to do the following: you will be unsilenced, we will not announce that you have been unsilenced, and you can choose to do what you want with your ability to post in the forum again, but -and we want to make this as clear as possible- any further infraction will result in a ban. Any threat to mods, members, or the site, any pushing of boundaries, will result in an immediate ban.

It is unfortunate that we have gotten to this point, but that's where we are.

-Webdiplomacy Admins and Mods"

This was agreed upon by every mod, admin, and Kestas. Within the past 24 hours Draugnar has called for the “termination” of an admin, he has violated another members silence by posting their PM in the forum, he has claimed responsibility for the site outages last year as the work of him attacking the site, and he has stated his intent to several members via pm to attack the site via SQL injection tonight to start posting as other members. As a result, Draugnar has been banned.

Unfortunately, there are members who take it upon themselves to question every moderator action and decision. Several members recently have decided that they should be able to challenge moderator decisions on cases that have nothing to do with them, despite knowing they do not have all the details. We will try to give more details about our decisions in regards to silencing/banning. So everyone is going to have to meet us halfway there and trust to a degree that we're actually doing our jobs fairly. When it comes down to it, all the moderators are fair and lenient in their decisions, which you can see from the number of chances multiple players on this site have been given.
Everyone is welcome to appeal their own case, but when other members start shouting accusations without knowing the entire case it just wastes everyone's time. People are more than capable of appealing their own cases, and all the information for doing so is provided to them regardless of their punishment. We volunteered for moderator positions so that everyone else can play the game without worrying about these kinds of cases. So let us worry about these cases and have fun playing the game and posting on the forum. You do not need to worry about being silenced without reason, if there is ever a problem you will be contacted via pm or email by a moderator. Everyone is always given the chance to talk with us beforehand. Silencing and bans are only a last resort when members refuse to work with us.

While we are an extremely open forum, the overwhelming majority of the user feedback we have gotten has been extremely pleased that members can now post without being insulted and harassed to a vulgar degree. They are also pleased to hear the effort we have spent trying to get veterans back to the site, the site sponsored GR games, and site improvements. It is only a small handful of our members who wish to be able to post without any type of oversight, and those are the members who have refused to work with us as stated above, who have forced us into our last resort measures.

As always, we are more than willing to listen to and address members concerns. We simply ask that you grant us the respect and courtesy to address your concerns in private before you bring them to the forum in an aggressive manner.
