Sure!

A known problem back in 2014-2015 was staff banning people from in-game events for harassment and spam. Granted, spamming in-game was against the rules, but there were plenty of cases where "harassment" was boiled down to saying "fuck you" to the staff in charge, because of prior run-ins with the particular user. I do not know how common this still is, but I can reasonably assume it still occurs at least on occasion, as we are all humans.

I'm not saying that these weren't reviewed later and overturned, nor am I saying I fault the staff entirely in the moment, but the argument they were intended to support was thus; Members of staff are prone to knee-jerk reactions, like common users, but they hold power that they must be responsible with. Thusly, when they do things like this, they must be held to a higher level of scrutiny.

If you wanted specifics, I'm not positive I can access the ban reports from 2014-2015 anymore, with me no longer being staff, and I'm not sure they'd even still be there, with the propensity we have to wipe backlogs, so I apologize.
