From my understanding, Weebay had multiple opportunities. He could have locked/deleted the initial thread instead of responding. He could have ignored the forums and proceeded solely with the hosping. He could have listened to Zen and NOT posted more fuel to the fire on facebook, linked from the forums. As a mod, and a longterm player, he should have had the maturity to stop himself at least. As he refused to do so, there should be consequences. Permaban might be extreme, but not undeserved.

As for Marlo, he was...to paraphrase Zen in a comedic fashion...the Energizer Bunny of Harrassment. He just kept going and going and going and going...and went right off a cliff. The maturity, or lack thereof comment works here as well.

To summarize, both were warned repeatedly, both escalated instead of heeding the warning, and reeped the consequences thereof.

As far as 8star goes...sounds like she started it, continued it, and should receive a similar punishment.
