We have been tracking karma distribution between certain members for quite some time now, and it's obvious their only objective is to gain high amounts of karma.

The following members have earned a permanent ban:

1. cdaddy7
2. zewi
3. fast48
4. last but not least our beloved ex MOD gs9902
   (I guess now you know why ex, right bro, right?)

Although there were other members in this "underground circle" the four members above, all received their last warnings months a go.

I'm sure a lot of you are shocked or at least surprised by my decision, especially since all of the above members have proven themselves very helpful and knowledgable on more than one occasion.
However, there is NO DOUBT that these members were operating as a team inside our community with only one thing on their mind; obtain as much karma as possible, present themselves as high ranking members and as such receive kickbacks and free gear from sources.
Karma to these guys was not an indicator of helpfulness or trustworthiness, but a currency with which you can get free gear.

• As for the sources that were knowingly participating in this, consider this your last warning!
• To all the "silent members" of this retarded circle - you have been given another chance, don't blow it.

I'm sure all you idiots will eventually create new accounts, looking forward to banning you over and over again.
