    Im not as close to the group of members that were just recently banned but it seems kind of silly to ban a group of people based on the actions of an individual. It would be nice if you could share the evidence that leads to these bans seeing as you're claiming that because they're a group they should be banned. Based off that, there should be a few others that should be banned as well. But I get the feeling we won't see any evidence that would justify each ban. Many of them have had bans prior to regarding toxicity, but these are seemingly unrelated situations that you've chosen to use as a justification to ban a group.

    Also idk where the name 1/11 came from but that's probably the cringiest thing you could have called them

    Just as easy as saying their names, or generalizing it. I mean what's the deal with skirting around instead of being straightforward. But I've said my piece.

    Why do you continue to post even though you have nothing of value to add? You're just spamming while people are trying to communicate in a some-what professional manner.

    Quite interesting how some of the people who rated my post dumb got demoted then left the community and starting their own discord where they talked shit about it only to come back when half the staff team left for an easy way into staff. (y)

    Sad that a lot of people are doing this to a community that's actually run by good people. I've played in many servers in Gmod, TF2, and other games but this community is something special as it doesn't seem to beg for shit and has staff that for the most part is extremely mature and handles things well. Even the punishments are not that harsh because this server seems to give people second chances. (If this was any other server I would've been perma banned by now because I know sometimes I like to mess around)
    Sucks to see idiots and immature idiots trying to take down this server. Anyways, I support SGM.

    This is not the first time we had to ban trolls and their associates. This has happened in the past and while we try to stay away from taking these extreme measures, it does happen from time to time. It doesn't matter if they didn't directly have part in what happened. What happened today is a clear manifestation of allowing this group to exhibit their toxic behavior in this community. The staff team is fed up with dealing with their constant drama that they bring to the community. This takes time and energy away from other responsibilities. We cannot allow this anymore.

    Just because they were associates in the past, does not mean they are currently associates.

    how do you justify banning people ingame and on the forums for a year for talking shit on the forums lmfao

    i am VERY curious to read the appeals to see you justify this decision.

    edit: maybe some people in that group deserved it, but good luck justifiying banning ANNA of all people for a year. ridiculous in my opinion. but i should probably watch my words because i'm friends with these guys, i could be banned for GBA next.

    I haven't really read any of the replies; although, I continue . . .

    I do have reason to believe that many people have realized a large portion of how much you, the owner, have detecated towards this community, however much being based on their imagination.

    It's been quite obvious that in order to maintain anything sustainable, you must give your constant effort and detecation.

    Many users might not show their appreciation; however, I can surely bet that they've acknowledged it. This can be generalized towards the staff team--constant efforts and dedication as a whole, who prosper as a team.

    @Highwon

    If you are banning their associates, why are many of their other associates not banned? Why was Sir Clutch banned when there are a few people who are significantly more associated with them than he was who are also not banned?

    I guess that you can argue that the 'group' was made for the destruction of our community, but I am willing to say that they left that goal behind not long after 1/11 happened. They are a group as much as they are just a group of friends, and that group existed long before the events of 1/11 took place. Many of these people left that day since they wanted to stick with their friends. Not because they wanted to harm the servers. The harming the servers was just a side effect of a resignation that was going to happen either way.

    From my perspective, there are also players out there who I'd argue take far more time and effort away from the staff team and they do so consistently. They aren't in a large unit or friend group, but individually they cause just as many problems for the staff team. Why is this group something that you "cannot allow anymore" and the other players are ones that you let continue on with only lower length bans should they do something? I don't play on the servers much these days and am not aware of everything that's gone down 100%, but from an outsiders perspective this still doesn't sit right with me entirely. (I will not point fingers here but the people I'm talking about are easy to identify.)

    I can and will accept your answer Highwon, but I'd still like to hear the answers to these concerns as someone who still has a lot of love and passion for this community.

    This is very concerning for me. If you are going to ban someone for a year, they better be directly involved with what happened. It is completely unfair to ban someone for that long (or even at all) just for being associated with the group that left. The ones who were super toxic deserve a ban to some extent, but just for being associated? That's ridiculous.
