Here S_S says some interesting things. Most interesting to me would him claiming that MTGnews actually is getting their own original rumors. They haven't scooped R_E yet....

Now let's get a few things straight. R_E was not banned for leaving. He was banned for posting a resignation letter in a public place, releasing publicly private information in the admin section, and general flaming.
Furthermore, "martial law" was not declared in response to any site in particular. The one site did seem the have the most number of flamers, so they were used as an example. Did I stop the use of them in the sigs? Yes. Did I, or anyone else on staff ban or suspend a single member for having it in their sig? Nope. Now if you blatently advertised it in your message, you might have gotten whacked, but never for the sig.
Cyan, who the truth be known we do not see eye-to-eye at all, is a mtgnews.com supporter. I can tell you he does not support everything I do, and at the moment, he doesn't support half of what I do. That's fine. I don't care. He's proving to be a great admin and great for mtgnews.com. I don't have to agree with someone if they are good for the site. I deal with people on a daily basis I loathe (not that I'm saying I loathe Cyan).
Finally, R_E might have jumped ship, but that does not mean all his rumors jumped with him. Some of those people were loyal to the site and not to the man, as we have been getting in a number of these sources since R_E's departure. I'm sure some did go with him, but certainly not all of them.
Hope this truely clarifies things.

Daggertooth, as near as I can tell this is what happened. RE made a post (I can't link to it, but you can find it on mtgsalvation) where he basically accused Subterannian Spirit (the owner's right hand man) of being a total ********* highly incompotent, and dishonest to the rest of the staff. As a gesture of protest, he, every single other admin, and several mods, decided to resign, simultaniously.
In retaliation SS promptly Banned them. An Ex News user The Numen Kuberr (spelling?) founded a new sight, which he called mtgsalvation. The word got out about said new site, and SS declared "martial law". Anyone linking to the new site, or advertising it in thier sig was promptly banned. So in answer to who got banned, it seems that just about everyone did. I probably would have been were I not on vacation at the time.
What Cyan did that is making people mad, is not resign. By staying around, and in fact getting promoted to admin, a lot of people are interpreting that as an implicit support of SS.
Hopefully that clears things up . And yes, I say we jump ship to Salvation. I like the owners better, and it's got most lot of the same members. Plus with RE and his contacts jumping ship, salvation now has a better rumor mill than 'news does too ...
Furthermore, "martial law" was not declared in response to any site in particular. The one site did seem the have the most number of flamers, so they were used as an example. Did I stop the use of them in the sigs? Yes. Did I, or anyone else on staff ban or suspend a single member for having it in their sig? Nope.

Thanks Scott, that makes sense... wait.... no. No it doesn't. At least he admits he used "martial law". What a strange, strange man.
The only comment that really seems to truly fit this is "hoy vesmir"... I fail how this man can criticize anyone on maturity after the way he has been acting...
This is sad everything S_S does is just childish or just not what needs to be done.

Indeed. People who resign because they're pissed off with the management should slink out quietly like the wretched vermin they are, not bring everybody's attention to the problems.
F:skull1::cthulhu:k that for a game of soldiers. I'm being reminded more and more of Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
"You can't wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart lobbed an admin post at you!"
S_S is playing the Black Knight, except instead, he's cutting his own limbs off in the form of member after member and yet he still somehow is trying to put up a fight, and somehow think all of it makes sense.
Waitwaitwaitwait, WHAT? If they never banned someone for having the link in their sig, then what about feyd? They said that they banned him for that. Jesus Christ!
again he manages to show just what a moron he is.. Im glad that cyan stood up to him so that he is gone at least now..

Looks like Scott is done posting. Well he;s done adminning anyway, and I don't think that he wants to hang around...

I HATE brainburst and always have. I think a lot of the community agrees with me there. And now scott suports them.
I have no extendo-sig. Sorry, I'm just not vain enough to think someone will click on it.
On a random side note, there really needs to be a card that is "Creature - Businessman Lichlord"
