Hello everyone, and welcome to Smogon Politics 101.
The reason I'm posting this is to clarify the situation surrounding WhiteQueen's ban. As many of you are probably already aware of, WhiteQueen was recently given an infraction and then proceeded to insult me via VM (the VM is still there, feel free to check it out), resulting in a second infraction and therefore a ban. As it turns out, some members of the senior staff, including Aldaron--one of this tournament's hosts--think the initial infraction was not justified, because the individual post I infracted wasn't infraction worthy. However, my reasoning for the infraction is as follows:
As I'm sure you've all noticed, WhiteQueen tends to make terrible posts... quite often, so a few days ago, I decided to delete one of them and told him that I'd infract the next bad post he made. I also warned him over VM afterwards (he VM'd me asking why I considered his posts bad,the conversation is still there if you care to look for it) and suggested he sticked to posting activity / match results in order to avoid any conflict. He didn't listen, and I followed through with what I said I would.
Now, I'm perfectly aware that the individual post that I infracted is not infraction worthy, so don't get ahead of yourselves thinking I'm a nazi mod and whatnot. The reasoning behind the infraction is that I--and many other users, I'm sure--believe that a constant stream of borderline posts does even more harm than a single infraction worthy post. And if we're being honest here, I'm sure a lot of you are happy to see WhiteQueen banned.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to stress that posts like the one WhiteQueen was initially infracted for are not going to get you infracted (however, constantly making shitty, borderline posts like the one he's known for is). So feel free to continue in the WCoP trash talking spirit.
That is all.

you mean to tell me no one will enjoy facing whitequeen? :{|}
btw class act, very respectable.
what a martyr you are
It just wouldn't be an official tournament if WhiteQueen didn't get banned.
HeIIraiser
tough like igglybuff
It just wouldn't be an official team tournament if LonelyNess' team isn't fighting to secure a last place berth.
Yeah I don't think you should be infracted just on the basis of being annoying.
Wise words from a wise man.
