Banned Users

I have unfortunately worked with a few users that have now been banned for previous bad behaviors that have either occurred on Tengage well before I was ever a user on the that site or occured without my knowledge. It upsets me to find out that people I have had a good working relationship with have done these bad things to hurt others, because I can only judge someone based on my personal experience or on things I have personally witnessed, and I was never mistreated by them or witnessed any significant abusive behavior of others. I wanted to make it clear that I don't support that kind of behavior at all and if I ever personally experienced it or saw any evidence of these things myself I wouldn't associate with those users and I would report. HARD STOP. I don't tend to chat with people very often outside of games about personal things with the exception of a few users I have gotten closer to, so I have never really had any idea of what kind of person they really are besides how they treat me in games. When I have said I am 'friends' with a user, it typically means I have worked well in games with them and maybe we chat on discord every now and then with surface level conversation. I hope this culture of protecting the user experience on this site continues and applies to all types of abusive behavior. I have been pretty vocal about wanting to make this site a safer place with less bullying, so I am in full support of these bans for users who have gone past the line.
