Yes, under false pretenses. Anyone who agrees with Phats reasoning for doing this is dellusional and irrational. You don't play a lies and deceit game when you're trying to accomplish something. I agree, mods have needed banning power at times in the past, but do they all the time? Will it get out of hand? That was what I was deciding and was actually almost ready to grant them banning powers before tonight's drama. But now I'm thinking maybe the other times were just inside pranks too? Who's to know what was real and what wasn't?
