While I think this case from the start has been a little bit bizarre and blown out of proportion at times, I do think that what Hillrop did in the aftermath of getting the 1 week ban for saying "gamer" was a little bit excessive and deserves some form of punishment, but I also think that a perma ban for this is a little excessive as well. There was also a little bit of confusion surrounding this case to people who didn't have knowledge of what was actually going on and why someone would get banned for saying the word "gamer" in the first place. There was also some fault on both sides of the table and it could've been handled a bit differently as far as clarification and a few other things go.
I do believe that Hillrop is being sincere and genuinely wants to come back to this community and try not to cause anymore problems in the foreseeable future. the ban should at least be reduced from perm to a month or so to send a message that doing these things are not tolerable and will result in a punishment. Or maybe the original week he was suppose to get and tack on another week to answer for the things he has done in the past few days.
I also personally enjoy playing with Hillrop and so do a lot of others, while at times he can get on peoples nerves, he was still a member of this community that chose to involve himself in it to the point where he went out of his way to make a map and edited another map for this server alone. He also took this in a serious and passionate way that he decided to make a thread dedicated to suggestions/changes the community wanted for his maps and actually implemented some of them in the newest version. I believe that shows some kind of dedication.
+1 for reduced ban
