Really good post, and goodjob ToMo and team.
Shadow, I don't know you but, it isnt a clan problem, or friends problem, is just how you act as smod/mod etc.. because well... first than ownage owls members, there are the ''normal players'' who decide what is a good DM server to play, and I always see people saying ''abuse'' or somthing like that.. . So that's not good if we want to have a good reputation, as ToMo said.
and well... the one that had the idea of deleting smods isnt a bad friend, the bad friend is the one who doesnt care about server (because its a clan server)
